The Bigfoot Blunder

A Charlie Rhodes Cozy Mystery, Book 1

De: Amanda M. Lee

Narrado por: Emily Lawrence

The truth is out there...maybe.

Charlie Rhodes has a lot going on. The recent college graduate just landed her dream job. That's right. She's a bona fide monster hunter. No, you read that right. Charlie has joined the Legacy Foundation, and her actual job is to find something new, wonderful and scientifically unique.

Her first job as the junior member of the team involves a biggie. It seems Bigfoot - no, the one and only Sasquatch extraordinaire itself - may have killed a woman in Hemlock Cove, Michigan. Within hours of landing at her new job Charlie finds herself traveling to an odd little town in the middle of nowhere to discover if Bigfoot is real.

Charlie hits the ground running, excitement practically overwhelming her. The dead woman worked at a local resort and was very popular with her male colleagues. That means there are plenty of human suspects, but Charlie and her team are determined to prove the culprit was animal, not human.

Hemlock Cove boasts numerous mysteries, of course, and when the team checks in to a local inn called The Overlook they find a gaggle of wacky women to contend with. On top of the potential Bigfoot issue, Charlie is convinced there's something going on with the Winchester women and she's determined to get to the bottom of the secrets she's convinced they're keeping.

That's on top of the fact that Charlie is keeping her own secret. She's psychic and telekinetic - and exactly the sort of person the Legacy Foundation would like to find. That means she's hiding in plain sight, and she's desperate to make sure nobody figures that out.

Charlie is in for a wild ride, one that includes a magical adventure and concludes with a potentially deadly face-off. Will she survive long enough to catch a second case, or will she fall victim to a killer that could come in almost any form?

Great start for a new series

Amanda M. Lee has written a great start for a new series. I highly recommend this to cozy mystery fans.

anger management

the narrator was great the overall story was good just when you dissect it there are a lot of controlling kind of verbally abusive quick-tempered main characters and they're quick to cover it up with the oh I'm only doing this because I love you and I care about you and I'm trying to keep safe but I'm not going to listen to your idea and you're going to do what I tell you to do because I am man you are woman

Bigfoot

Very disappointed. Story dragged, very little paranormal or witchy happenings. A lot of the book was whiney... characters childish. I normally love her books, this one fell flat. Won't be buying anymore of her books for a while.

Nice Spin-off

I was surprised to find this set in Hemlock Cove with Aunt Tillie et al. Thoroughly enjoyed it. The only element I'd like to change is Landon's and now Jack's overprotectiveness. There is a line between being protective and loving vs. Being bossy and taking away someone's right to independent thought and decision-making. Landon is repeatedly crossing that line and becoming a true " buttitch".

2nd time listening and …

i love AML’s work and this is no exception, i’m just not sure the narrator was a good choice. i know there’s a new one coming a few books down the line, but this one just doesn’t have the depth i’ve heard in others. a good narrator should make you forget that you’re listening to one person throughout, that it’s really
not tons of different people doing the reading. when you’re drawn into the story and forget it’s only one person doing the reading, That’s indicative of a great narrator.
i did think there should’ve been more magic on Charlie’s part, but i get she’s wary of others finding out what she can do. more will come!
and any story involving the Winchester’s is worth it!

Fun listen as a mystery and witchery

Witchery is minimal but lurking in the background. The mystery is solved by logic not magic.

Adoring this new series

If you love a bit of a cozy mystery with a fun paranormal bent that has just a nice touch of romance then you may want to check out this new series by Amanda M. Lee.

This is a fresh look at paranormal investigators with a visit by bigfoot... Or not?

Try it out you may be surprised :-)

it's an okay book

this book is okay to listen to but it's obvious someone was a supernatural fan when they wrote This Book but it slows down way too much in the middle and the narrator sounds like she's bored through the whole thing.

Narrator Blunder

The book had a good Story line and the potential to be very enjoyable BUT the narrator killed it. I have enjoyed all Amanda’s books that Tilley Bay Thistle and Clove have been featured ; Bigfoot Blunder would have been no exception. The narrator chose to use voices that did not match the character’s personality. I suffered through the books she narrated. If I had known I would have just skipped to the new narrators books. To bad the narrator did not change until book 4

4 hrs. Too Long

So predictable, so monotone, way tooooo long! Not up to Ms Lee’s usual quality, more like a Middle school writing project. Sorry I wasted my time on this one.
