As if that weren't enough, it's her husband's birthday and her pushy mother-in-law is coming to town. What's a Southern gal to do?

To make matters worse, a big-city conspiracy nut is determined to cash in on her family’s misfortune and implicate Deena’s dead cousin in the crime of the century.

Sharpe Point
What’s Halloween without a murder mystery in a haunted house?
Follow along as Deena Sharpe unravels the mystery while dealing with the challenges within her own household. ( I love the interaction with her Mother-In-Law!)
This is such a fun series. I hope to see many more books from Lisa B. Thomas, and of course narrated by the fantastic Kelley Hazen!

Great Read
Sharpe Point (Maycroft Mystery #5) by Lisa B. Thomas was a great read. Deena Sharpe finds a dead body at the haunted house at the church's Halloween Carnival. She starts to prove a defense attorney's client did not kill the man. I enjoyed reading this book.

Another good installment in the series...:)
This is no. 4 in the series (and the third I listened to), and it's the best installment so far:)
Deena Sharpe is the kind of character readers really like - a bit nosy (which is a good quality in a PI, right?) but also loyal, intelligent, warm, and with that spark of humor that makes her adorable even when she tries to be naughty...
This time there's a hard task ahead of her - how can she defend someone she personally thinks is guilty of the crime? But then new evidence comes to light and things stop being seemingly obvious, more suspects appear as more facts are uncovered, and finally Deena's conscience is satisfied:)
The books in the series are quite short, but the plots are logical, with enough red herrings and enough twists to keep you glued to the pages. As usual, we get a satisfactory although quite unexpected ending, but this time Ms Thomas added a cherry on the cake in the form of Deena's mother-in-law, Sylvia - I loved her character a lot:)
Narration by Ms Hazen is very good; it adds an emotional layer to the book, allowing you to relate to the feelings of the individual characters much better. I especially loved her interpretation of Sylvia - the voice given to that character just tells you everything about her and makes her sooo real in her cute annoyance (yes, it's possible to be cutely annoying:)).
Definitely a must for cozy mysteries lovers - whether you've read/listened to the other three parts or not:)

Great Listen!
I love this series! Lisa B Thomas has written a series that has some very endearing characters. Each book is a standalone listen, yet brings familiarity of characters and setting to the listener. I enjoy the main character of Deena so much, and found myself laughing out loud at times. Kelley Hazen is the perfect narrator for this book. She delivers the right emotions and humor flawlessly, plus has distinguished voices for the various characters. I will definitely listen to more books by this author and narrator in the future.

I thought this was a fun mystery story that was easy to listen to. The narration is well done and the characters are engaging. Although this is the fourth book in the series, and my first story in it, I was able to easily jump right in and follow the story. I didn't really feel lost at all.

I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the narrator and found it very entertaining. Life is never dull for Deena Sharpe, a retired school teacher turned investigator. Deena finds her next case by tripping over him in a haunted house. Through a series of misadventures Deena tries find out what happened to the town drunk. The suspense and humour never stop in this delightful tale set in small town Texas. Looking forward to the next book.

Fun Listen
I enjoyed listening to this fun lighthearted mystery, a change from the dark mysteries. Deena is a retire teacher and wannabe investigator and main character who is trying to solve the murder of church custodian. At first I disliked Sylvia, Gary’s mother and Deena’s mother in law but then ended up liking her. Recommend to anyone who enjoys a fun, easy mystery with twists.

Murder in a Church Halloween Carnival
In <strong>Sharpe Point</strong> by Lisa B. Thomas, Deena Sharpe gets embroiled in another murder case when she stumbles over a body at the haunted house at her church's Halloween carnival. Ray Brewster, the church's janitor with an unsavory reputation, lies dead. Soon, Deena's best friend's husband, Ian Davis, calls her in to his law office with a new investigative job. Though no post- mortem has been completed, a client of his in the midst of pressing harassment charges against Ray, Wendy Fairmont, is suspected of having killed the man. Then it comes out that Ray was blackmailing Wendy, a former beauty queen, now a wedding planner. The pressure from Mayor Thornhill for an arrest in time for his upcoming election forces Detective Gutmann to arrest Wendy. But even he soon suspects Wendy has been set up, so he too turns to Deena for help in finding the truth.
<strong>Sharpe Point</strong> was a fun book to listen to with enough humor and cleverness to make it highly enjoyable. I particularly liked the character of Sylvia, Deena's mother-in-law, who has always been highly critical of Deena's care of Sylvia's son, Gary. The characters in this book come alive and seem real, especially the details of how Deena wakes up unkempt, unlike the stars in movies. The plot has fun elements, with a creative ending that came as a surprise to me.
Kelley Hazen performs the audio version of <strong>Sharpe Point</strong>. Her female voices sound good, but though I have liked all her narration in previous books, several of her male voices came across as annoying. This was especially true of Deena's senior citizen neighbor, Edwin, and Charlie Abbott, son of the Reverend Abbott. However, I did appreciate her narrative parts.
I enjoyed <strong>Sharpe Point</strong>, appreciating the many fun characters and plot points. I look forward to the next book in the series and give this one five stars!

Such a fun series to follow
The Maycroft cozy mystery audio books narrated by Kelley Hazan mix the right amount of charm, quirk, spooky murder mystery, and well, coziness to make this a series you'll want to follow. Prime example from the opening chapter of this installation in the series... The main character bakes a cake under the strict supervision of her persnickety mother in law (a master baker) to bring to a church Halloween cake walk. Wacky events unfold (which they are want to do in Maycroft) and a large man falls dead atop the cake. As the character is explaining the situation to her husband and mother in law later that evening her mother in law questions how badly the deceased's head squished the prized cake and whether or not it (the cake) could have been salvaged. If lol moments like that don't sell you on the series than the fact that Hazan delivers these memorable lines with a fantastic array of voices should. Thank you to Ms. Thomas, Ms. Hazan, and audiobook boom for the complimentary copy of this book. I have left my unbiased review here of my own accord.

A murder mystery has never been so funny!
Be prepared for a ride. This is a murder mystery, of that there is no doubt. But the plot is also quirky and hilarious with all the idiosyncrasies of small town politics. It is, quite literally, a murder with lots of suspicious characters and a dollop of icing. Dina has her hands full between her boss, her mother-in-law, her pregnant friend, a maybe stalker, the police and, of course, the murder. Nothing is ever quite what it seems, most especially the outcome of Dina's investigation. But what do you do when the victim himself is worse than any of the suspects?

What a waste of a perfectly good cake.
Halloween, definitely not Deena's favourite time, and the slightly early Carnival finds Deena, home made cake in hand (her mother-in-law has been teaching her baking during her prolonged stay), tripping over something in the dark. Or rather, someone; yes, Deena has literally stumbled on another dead body. So much for her promises to herself not to get involved again.
This, the fifth in the cozy stand alone mystery series set in Maycroft, Texas, again follows Deena as she juggles home life and friendships with her compulsion to get involved with investigating what really happened - as she sees it. In Agatha Christie fashion, clues are scattered along the way for the reader to try to work it out first. Well written, and with good dialogue and character interaction, these stories just keep getting better.
With the excellent Kelley Hazen again narrating with warm gusto and great character voicings, this is a fun addition to the series. Recommended.
