A fun story with lots of intrigue

This is the latest book in a series. The characters are interesting, particularly the formidable Vera. The heroine is a little too earnest, but other than that, I really enjoyed the story.

Another hit!

I love this series so much! All the characters are lovable & the narration of the Senora & Vera are my favorite! Kev is up to mischief as always & Jordan is trying to juggle her family on top of being set up to take the blame for a murder. This was a fun adventure & as always a real treat for this series!

Not bad, the ending kinda lost me

Perhaps I was too sleepy by the end but it got a little complex trying to keep up with what was going on and very complex and that's my only critique. Judge for yourself.
However, I do love a mystery where I'm given enough clues and I didn't even guess the antagonist!
Except for the intricate and slow ending (may just have been because I was falling asleep) this is in keeping with their other engaging and well performed books.

Potentially good story

I think the narrator missed opportunities to present better characterizations and paused too long for my tastes. I also prefer my heroines to be more realistic.... receiving dead roses would make me suspicious, not joyously curious. Not sure if I will try this author again.

Good, but not as much as previous books in series

I have listened to the other books in this series, and really enjoyed them a lot. This one, while still engaging, didn't quite seem up to the mark. I don't know how much of that is due to the narration, which I find off-putting. But this particular book, though still good (and recommended!) is not quite as satisfying as previous ones in the series (in my opinion).

In general, this is a fun cozy mystery series--in fact, overall, I think it is a cut above most of them. I love the premise--Jordan Bingham is a young woman whose job is to oversee the first edition mystery collection of the eccentric Vera Van Alst--an old lady who is a bit of a recluse, doesn't like most people, and forms one of the most interesting characters in all the stories. Jordan comes from a family of uncles who tend to operate on the wrong side of the law--but they are lovable and funny, and also form part of the delightful set of characters who people these stories.

In this one, I felt a little disappointed by the story itself--it just didn't move smoothly, and had too many places where it was just too much of a stretch for me. Yet--it holds its former charm--I still love the characters, and I still look forward to the next in the series. I do wish they might consider a different narrator, though.
