The narrator, Karen White was a joy to listen to. There were a lot of seniors, middle aged, young adults and people with accents in this book and she did a superb job differentiating all the voices. There were also a lot of characters in the book but her narration helped me know who was who and I think that speaks volumes. Regarding the story itself, the plot was well paced and I became connected to the community that the amateur sleuth and local newspaper journalist, Lucy lived in. There were quirky characters, a spitfire senior who made me laugh when she put people in their places and the mystery was well developed. I also really enjoyed that Lucy played the part of the journalist in this cozy mystery, as many other cozies the sleuth has a friend (or foe) who was the main local journalist. I also loved that she was a married woman with grown up kids. And although I hadn’t read the previous 27 novels in the series, the author brings the reader up to speed about the characters’ backgrounds and I felt I didn’t miss anything. I highly recommend this cozy mystery as it's a great book to listen to. Thank you Dreamscape Media for the advanced listening copy and Kensington for the advanced reader’s copy.
