Southernmost Murder

By: C.S. Poe

Narrated by: Wyatt Baker

Length: 7 hrs and 13 mins

Publisher's summary

Aubrey Grant lives in the tropical paradise of Old Town, Key West, has a cute cottage, a sweet moped, and a great job managing the historical property of a former sea captain. With his soon-to-be-boyfriend, hotshot FBI agent Jun Tanaka, visiting for a little R&R, not even Aubrey's narcolepsy can put a damper on their vacation plans.

But a skeleton in a closet of the Smith Family Historical Home sure does throw a wrench into the works. Its identity drags Aubrey and Jun into a mystery with origins over a century in the past. They uncover a tale of long-lost treasure, the pirate king it belonged to, and a modern-day murderer who will stop at nothing to find the hidden riches. And if a killer on the loose isn’t enough to keep Aubrey out of the mess, it seems even the restless spirit of Captain Smith is warning him away.

The unlikely partnership of a historian and special agent may be exactly what it takes to crack this mystery wide-open and finally put an old Key West tragedy to rest. But while Aubrey tracks down the *X* that marks the spot, one wrong move could be his last.

Absolutely love this

I absolutely love this book. It’s funny and quirky and have a good story and mystery and action. Well written a d Aubrey is so lovable.

Amazing narrator did a great job. Very enjoyable and highly recommendable

Excellent!

Loved the story, the mystery and the romance. Aubrey is a great character, snarky, funny and Jun is perfect for him.
The mystery was well done, kept me engaged from the start.
Wyatt Baker did a great job. I loved his pacing and his voice for Aubrey. The narration is a great way to enjoy the story!

History and modern day mysteries

Aybry and Jun are so much fun together. They are so different from most characters. I love the narcolepsy! It makes Juns character so much more romantic. I hope there is a series for these two!!

Loved it!

Wyatt Baker does suchan excellent job bringing the characters and story to life. Along with great pacing, timing, inflection and tone, while I also oved the character voices...this was really well done.

Sigh. I loved Aubrey and Jun and just how well C.S. Poe makes them come to life.

Note: I hadn't read Poe's Snow and Winter series before I read Southernmost Murder, and didn't have any trouble following along with the plot or characters.

Aubrey's narcolepsy was particularly interesting, especially the way that it was explained organically and not like a dry medical text, and I really love the wonderful way Jun was with Aubrey about his condition - it was heart-melting for me.

I loved the plot, with the exception of a couple of bone-headed moves by Aubrey. The sexual chemistry between Jun and Aubrey was HOT, and I was completely taken in by the mystery. I honestly didn't see the "bad guy" coming!

I really hope this won't be the only book featuring these characters. The only thing I would have liked better is if it had been a dual, instead of single, POV. I would have loved getting Jun's side of things. But other that, I loved it.

Great book - especially on audio - and I absolutely recommend.

Key West Mystery

C.S. Poe’s seamless mystery and delightful characters were brought to life by Wyatt Baker. This story used the history of Key West and the dogged pursuit for answers by Aubrey Grant and his boyfriend, FBI agent Jun Tanaka makes me want more of this author and this narrator.

New narrator to fallow!

Holy shit Wyatt Baker is a narrator to watch for, awesome work! Great story, mystery and amazing performance by narrator.

Really good

This story is so good. Exciting and full of mystery and suspense. Loved the characters, loved the story, loved the narration, and I’m left wanting more.

Great Listening

Wow... just loved everything about this, murder, mystery, treasure, and a secret love 100's of years old. Aubrey is the first character I have read with narcolepsy, and while it is a serious medical condition, can I just say he was so cute always falling asleep, and Jun was so patient and sweet with him. I hope we get more of this couple!!

Wyatt Baker did such a great job! His voices for the characters brought them to life and kept me engaged in the story.

LOVED IT!

I really loved listening to this audio, the ebook was my first by C.S. Poe, now i have them all but this is my first love and the narration was excellent, kept me engaged and left wanting more.

Wonderful Mystery!

What a fantastic mystery! I really enjoyed these characters, and love C.S. Poe's writing style.

Don't shoot me Poe fans, but this is the first novel I've read by Poe alone. I found them from the book they wrote with Gregory Ashe (I highly recommend The Auden and O'Callaghan Mysteries if you haven't tried them yet.

Regardless, I'm so glad I finally found my way to C.S. Poe... and I can see I'm going to have to read the Snow & Winter series, so I can get all of Aubrey and Jun's backstories.

Also, I did this in audio narrated by the wonderful Wyatt Baker who does a superb job with these guys!
