A Bodkin for the Bride

Wisteria Tearoom Mysteries, Book 4

By: Patrice Greenwood

Narrated by: Kristin James

Something old, something new, something dead...

It's autumn in Santa Fe, and Ellen Rosings is planning her Aunt Nat’s wedding at the Wisteria Tearoom. Her progress is derailed by a dead body - yes, another one - that she finds in her aunt’s driveway.

The corpse is an artist Ellen saw that morning selling gem-handled knives at the Tesuque Pueblo Flea Market. The detective assigned to the case - not, alas, the handsome, sympathetic Tony Aragón - is looking to Ellen to explain why the body ended up in Nat’s driveway. Tony is busy on his own case and can’t help.

Soon, the dead artist starts appearing in Ellen's dreams, holding the knife that was found beside him. He wasn’t stabbed. What does it mean?

Between the dreams, the looming wedding, work pressure, and a tenacious case of hiccups, Ellen fears she’s unraveling. Then, a gem-handled knife is left embedded in Nat’s door, and Ellen knows she must solve the artist’s death before another crime strikes closer to home.

This cozy mystery is the fourth in the Wisteria Tearoom Mysteries series.

horrible narrator, couldn't finish the book

I couldn't finish the book I love the series and was excited to start it only to find the narrator had changed and to a terrible one at that, it is flat and robotic without any tian differences, it took away most all of the Hispanic accents in it which is sad considering the location, couldn't finish the book with a wasted credit

Could list to this book

I love Patrice Greenwood’s tearoom mysteries. I have listen to the previous ones several times. I could not get through this book. I will need to buy the ebook to continue the series. The narration was flat and irritating at the same time.
