Clever Names - Clever Premise

I’d hoped for more from the description of this Audible audiobook. It’s hard to pinpoint what disappoints, but ‘The Naked Detective’, book one in the Book & Page Nottinghill Lane Mystery Series, just didn’t work for me.

The characters were, for the most part, charming and cleverly written. The narrative by the book’s author, was well done with tonal inflections ideal for each character. ‘The Watcher’ was intriguingly mysterious.

I will try one more book in the series in the hope that it gets better as even more transpires between Detective Mike Book and artist Jack Page.

Love the Mystery and the love of these two men!

Spanning a hundred years of mystery to unlock a secret garden and the murder within, the two gay charmers from Book One - The Naked Detective learn more about Jack’s inheritance of an artist’s studio carriage house in the small lakeside town of Bluewater, Michigan... aided by all the lovable eccentrics of the Nottinghill Lane Book Club.

Wonderful mystery!

It has been awhile since I've read a good mystery. Mike and Jack were the most normal in the whole little neighborhood. These people were so funny. I loved the playfulness from the beginning between Jack and Mike. The author does a great job with the narration. If you like mysteries with charming eccentric characters that make you smile, this is one you should enjoy.

A nice story with a good twist to it!

This book was a different kind of story for me. It was a big change of reading style. But I have to admit that I really enjoyed it. The story was cute, while it told the story of what happened and to whom. The narrator was easy to listen to and the voices he created was very pleasant to listen to. I would have to s as y that I would read this author again, just to explore more of this style of writing.
