Resumen del Editor

Newly widowed and stuck in a middle-aged funk, Poppy has been running on cookies, infomercials, and one-sided chats with her cat for months. There's no way on earth she's attending her 25-year class reunion - especially after receiving a very bizarre letter from Barbie, the popular cheerleader who taunted her all through high school. At least, not until Poppy's best friend practically drags her to the event....

Using the dreaded homecoming as an excuse to visit her eccentric Aunt Ginny, Poppy vows to leave Cape May with pride and Spanx intact. Too bad Barbie is still the queen of mean at the reunion. And worse, that her dead body is lying right in front of Poppy's old locker. Singled out as the killer, it's up to Poppy to confront her past and clear her name.

But between protecting her aunt from disaster and tackling a gluten-free diet, can Poppy crack the case before she's voted "Most Likely to Die" by the murderer?

Funny!

Love the narrator, one of my favorites! The story was funny, and had a good flow to it.

LOVE POPPY AND HER GANG

HOW REFRESHING TO MEET SUCH A REAL PROTAGONIST. POPPY IS SOMEONE WITH WHOM I CAN IDENTIFY. SHE MAY BE 30 YEARS YOUNGER, BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER. THE DIALOGUE IS SASSY. THE CHARACTERS COME TO LIFE FOR ME. I WILL BE SO DISAPPOINTED IF AUDIBLE DOES NOT CONTINUE THIS SERIES.

Fantastic story and narrator

I first decided to listen because I could relate to the main character. The story moved along quickly (without any drawn-out character history, thank goodness!).
I laughed out loud many times throughout the story. Love the sense of humor the author has as well as the delivery by the narrator. The main character and her aunt’s personalities were so relatable and believable.

Great read

I truly hope there will be more to follow. Loved the characters and the narration was very good.

The Poppy McAllister World is a Gift!

Thank you Libby Klein:

I very much appreciate that a majority of the first books in the series are free to read (with Audible Unlimited). I've been on a kick lately looking for "cozy mysteries" with fun, quirky characters, great mysteries/nice little twists, and an excellent narrator. It's difficult and expensive to try and locate new series, as it's very hard to find all of those elements.

1) Thank you for making the first several free
2) Thank you for writing such a great series -- the main character can seem a little neurotic/insecure (but she does represent a very real human condition and her character is showing nice growth -- I'm in book 4)
3) Thank you for choosing a brilliant narrator, Callie Beaulieu

BONUS #1: the author totally gets cats! Poppy's cat Figaro is a major character rather than just a writing afterthought.

BONUS #2:
the books, characters, and situations are getting funnier with each book.

TIP: For some reason, Book #2 is not Free, but it's completely worth the $$. If you stop with first, you may question whether rest is worth it...IT IS! A lot of new characters get introduced in #2 (plus I prefer to read series in order).

I usually only write reviews if something is REALLY GOOD or REALLY BAD.

THIS IS REALLY, REALLY GOOD!!!

deadly reunions #tagsgiving

deciding to go to your class reunion for friends even though you don't want to go can be a pain then showing up is a killer.

LOL Funny

This book had me laughing all the time! I so enjoyed it! I’ll be continuing with the series!

I'm addicted

I'm so glad I came across this series. I am enjoying it so much. it's such a good listen. I didn't know who did it until the very end. Definitely recommend

Class Reunions Are Murder

What a great book! I love the fun characters and trying to figure out who committed the murder. I recommend this great listen!!

Cozy mystery and a bit of romance.

Very witty, good feel novel. Rarely come across a character who has to be on a gluten free, dairy free and soy free diet, due to an autoimmune disorder.
