With a hint of humor this was a very enjoyable book. Great narrator.

Good Mystery

This is the 2nd book in the series, but the first one I've listened to. It can be listened to as a standalone. I had no problems getting into the story. The story is well-written and the narrator did a great job with the characters.

Attention grabbing and continuous wondering

I loved both Peggy Rector mysteries. The stories flow in a way that the reader is always engaged and wondering who the real culprit is. I think it is very original that Peggy has her circle of friends participate in the investigations and how she gathers information from everyone in her community to help clear the names of those who have been mistakenly accused. I would love to read more about Peggy Rector's mysteries. Thank you!
