Booklovers, dive in!

If you've every wondered about the world of collectible books, you will really love all the info that's tucked inside this little gem of a mystery. The main character is clever and talented and gets into all kinds of scrapes. It's a fun listen and sometimes that's all I'm looking for.

i didn't like when they change voices. i would rather imagine my own version of what the person sounds like.

Great mystery that will keep you guessing

Another wonderful Bibliophile cozy mystery. Well developed characters, plot twists and turns, and humorous scenes.

Great Series

I have been reading and listening to each of the books in this series and have not been disappointed in any of them. They seem to get better as the author goes along, but maybe that is true of most writers. When I am reading or listening to a book with an involved plot, a moving subject or just bogging down, I stop and pick up one of the bibliophile mysteries and instantly feel lighter and more entertained. I hope Kate Carlisle never stops writing this series!!

Reminds me why I don't Read Mysteries

I downloaded three mysteries in the 3-for-2 deal. The plot is trite, lite and goes on for far too long. The reader has a limited vocal range and her characterizations are weak.

Another great cozy mystery by Kate Carlisle

Love all of Kate Carlisle's books! Can't wait to listen to the next one. Excellent reads. Excellent listening.

meh.

So I guess I'm just not a fan of the "cozy mystery", but the whole thing was too... just too meh. the story was meh. The suspense was very meh. The characters were incredibly meh ( and amazingly stupid if I'm to be honest). I totally did not understand the why of many of the inane decisions and the way it came together was too pat.

The narration was annoying. The male characters sounded just wrong and dear Lord let's not even talk about the British accent issue. The inflections were childish. It was as if kids were talking. I'm sure part of it was the random verbiage, where a character in one sentence would use an outdated word or term like "gosh" or "pip" and then in the next use modern venacular like "lame" or the like.

Let's not even talk about the ridiculous efforts and creating sexual tension. It was painful to listen too. Again, wildly sophomoric.

If you like very simple stories that are easy to follow and get confused by deep plots and intricate characterizations, you will quite possibly like this book. If you are into novels with women who swoon over all the hot men (as it seems they are all hot) and who act like they are 10 around them... just trite and meh and ugh.

A lesser entry

This is not one of the best in the series, but part of that is the irritating mispronunciations and, occasionally, the use of the wrong voice, by the narrator.

Great Series

I love this series! They’re less predictable than other series and entertaining. I’m going through this series for the second time and it’s as if I haven’t read them. The narrator is awesome and manages a variety of dialects so well that you forget you’re listening to a book.

EXCELLENT! MARVELOUS

This book threw me for a loop it had so many suspects that I did see the real killer till the very end and what a surprise!
Check this out and tell me what you think ok.
