Good Mystery

I love mysteries, but I never expected this when I first started reading. The crime, Annette's involvement in solving it, and intertwining of the characters lives, kept my interest all the way through. Then the inspirational pieces and the romance just enhanced it all. Very good read as always from Ms. Hopkins!

The narration was good and enhanced the story.

Christian Historical Romance

I listened to this in one night! I couldn't put it down! A wonderfully unique story! I loved the narration very much too!

Does Annette get the assignment?

The perfect mix of mystery and romance, Janice Cole Hopkins pens Annette's Assignment. I love a good puzzle, and she created one that had me wondering, each person a suspect and just when I thought I knew, a different person came to the front. Annette's cousin asked her to attend a great mind competition to help solve a crime. Being the bright woman she is, she excels, and catches the eye of the host, Enslow, the one who is the main suspect. As they get to know each other though, Annette finds it impossible to believe he is the one. So she spreads her search to all the competitors. Will she find out it's Enslow and be disappointed? Will their mutual attraction be in vain? I loved the diverse cast of characters from the quiet to the boisterous, and the guilty is a surprise! Loved this whodunnit!

Adam Skousen is our narrator and he is fabulous. Not only does he play the various cast of competitors, but then switches to the female Annette with ease. I enjoyed his different voices, and the inflections he adds to throw me off the scent! It's a fantastic listen and extremely enjoyable.

True Beliefs

Listening to the audiobook of Annette’s assignment was a pleasure and the narrator was wonderful. Annette lives with her grandfather, but is independent and has a great mind. She believes in the women’s right to make her own decisions. When her cousin asked her to help in a case, at a great mind competition, she slowly agreed. She’s not one to go out in public, and prefers to stay home and read. While their host, Enzo is very attentive to Annette, she finds being there undercover makes it difficult for her. It seems the two of them are attracted to each other. When Enzo is accused of a crime, she questions her relationship. She needs to help him, even if she was part of the investigation. Can the two of them get past this issue and trust one another.I was given a copy of the book by the author for an honest review.

Mystery, Suspense, and Romance

Janice Cole Hopkins penned a great book in Annette's Assignment, part of The Suffrage Spinster Series. Annette reluctantly agrees to help her policeman cousin gather information about suspected criminal activity. She enters a contest of great minds and things get complicated. Living with her grandfather and being actively involved in the Suffrage Movement adds interesting components to Annettee's Assignment. This story has it all, mystery, suspense, and romance.
I listened to a gifted audio version. Adam Skousen was brilliant. He brought unique voices to all of the characters.
