Death of a Mystery Writer's Wife

In <strong>Sharpe Turn</strong> by Lisa B. Thomas, Deena Sharpe finds herself at loose ends after retiring from being a high school journalism teacher and then a journalist and an investigator for a short time. With her husband, Gary, against her getting involved in other dangerous situations, Deena decides to take a mystery writing class, taught by the famous author Max Decker. But before the break can conclude, police officers have arrived to tell Max that his wife has been killed in a car wreck that looks like foul play.

Deena has no intention of getting involved in this mystery until her brother, Russell Sinclair, calls her to ask for her help when his best friend, Cliff Ables, gets taken into the police station for questioning. Deena looks all over for clues and starts investigating to look for a way to clear Cliff, being led into looking for clues to the true murderer.

<strong>Sharpe Turn</strong>, the fourth book in the Cozy Suburbs Mystery series, proved to be a fun and creative book to listen to. The series seems to improve with each new book and come up with interesting angles in Deena's life. The plot has enough twists and turns to intrigue anyone, while the characters are fun in their depth and make us feel we truly know them.

Kelley Hazen performs the audio edition of this book, and her alto voice seems well- suited for this role. Using a gentle Southern accent for this book set in Texas, Hazen adds to the effectiveness of the book. With quality expressions, Hazen makes this book an extra enjoyable listening experience.

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to <strong>Sharpe Turn</strong>, a book that delighted and kept me attached to my phone on which it played. I didn't want to put it down. Fortunately, there are two more audiobooks in this series, so I will enjoy getting to listen to them soon. I give this book five stars.

Deena as good as ever...:)

Installment no. 4 is as good as all the other books in the series:) You just can't have enough of Deena Sharpe, her crazy adventures and murder investigations that somehow just happen to find her, whether she wants them or not:)

This time Deena has to help her brother's friend to prove his innocence - and as usual before we find out who the real killer is we will discover clues, uncover secrets and suspect more than one person only to change our mind with every new piece of evidence or information Deena finds... We'll also smile a lot - Deena has a knack for getting into embarassing situations:)
The plot is really fast, dialogues funny, background characters colourful and sometimes quirky but believable, and the ending as surprising as it should be:)

Narration by Ms Hazen is also as good as in all the other books in the series. The character voices are very well done, diversified and well-matched, and the pace of her reading makes it easy to follow the story. A wonderful interpretation of the book:)

This is a great book with a wonderful story and well developed characters. The story flowed very well and was very enjoyable. This book will keep you reading long into the night and you will not want to put this book down until you finish. This was such a great read and full of surprises. The narrator did a wonderful job with this book. She did a great job with the different voices of each character in this book. It was very easy to listen to and I didn’t want to stop listening until the end. If you are looking for a great book with well-developed characters then you need to listen to this book. I am looking forward to listening to the next book by this author and narrator.

SHARPE TURN: Cozy Suburbs Mystery Book #4
by Lisa B. Thomas

Deena Sharpe is back trying to figure out what's next for her career. This is a fun, clean, cozy mystery. There is plenty of suspense as the number of suspects grows. The characters are fun, and each one has a personality all their own. This series gets better and better with humor to keep the listener engaged; even though I figured out who the villain was about half way thru.I didn't guess the motive. I can't wait to see what will happen in the next book.


The narration was well done. The characters were well portrayed. Kelley Hazen gives an excellent performance as always! So much so, I'm listening again!
