Something Buried, Something Blue

The Lily Dale Mysteries, Book 2

By: Wendy Corsi Staub

Narrated by: Melanie Ewbank

New York Times best-selling author Wendy Corsi Staub is back with the second in her critically acclaimed cozy mystery series.

After agreeing to stay in Lily Dale through the winter as caretakers of the Valley View Guesthouse and its feline residents, widowed mom Bella Jordan and her son, Max, are looking forward to the peaceful off-season after a hectic summer. That is until the medium next door, Odelia Lauder, recruits Bella to host a destination wedding for the world's most petulant bride, Johneen Maynard, a friend of Odelia's granddaughter.

Things take an even more stressful turn as the wedding day looms amid an October blizzard, when suddenly the spirits start giving Odelia a major heads up that the bride might be fated for death. And when the prediction comes true just as the storm begins to break, Bella finds herself trapped in a house full of murder suspects.

It's a race to figure out who killed Johneen—and what clever murder weapon made it appear to be natural causes—before the killer catches on in Something Buried, Something Blue.

Enjoyed more than the first

I enjoyed this book MUCH more than I did the first (& I enjoyed the first). Worth the listen and can’t wait til the next!

Something Buried, Something Blue

Bella is back and has been asked to stay on at Valley View Guesthouse as caretaker and going into the off season Odelia, the next door medium, has an idea to keep things going...Valley View Guesthouse becoming a Destination Wedding spot. What do she and Bella know about wedding planning? Well, nothing but that is not going to stop them. That is until the weather changes and Spirit starts to lead them to the conclusion that the bride may be destined to die. Yep, another murder in Lily Dale but who and what is going on. Crazy cast of characters but I really am enjoying this cozy mystery series. So much I already have book 3 ready to go!

meh.... it's ok

it's an ok book - not good & not bad. the narrator was hard to listen to but if you change the speed to 1.15 or 1.2 it is tolerable

Really enjoyed it!!!

Loved the characters, and the constant twist and turns. Look forward to listening to more in this series.

Stories in the series have been interesting…

I can’t tell whether I should thank the author or be annoyed. The overthinking of the lead character is about enough to drive me crazy… what if…(insert implausible scenario here x3 or x5 depending on the mood during that chapter) happens.

Oh for goodness sake, you write an intelligent character that then acts so dumb. Ugh

But at least I’ve started to River off my overthinking is annoying to those around me.

Overall, it is enjoyable… but sometimes when the lead over thinks, over thinks again and then over thinks AGAIN… I get lost because I stopped listening somewhere. Then I have to rewind. Like I said, not sure if I should thank the author for helping me be more self aware, or annoyed that I get bored, stop listening and then have to rewind.
