Baked Alaska

Culinary Mysteries

By: Josi S. Kilpack

Narrated by: Diane Dabczynski

Sadie Hoffmiller is looking forward to an entire week cruising the Alaskan wilderness with her two grown children, Shawn and Breanna, and her boyfriend, Pete. Not only will they all have the chance to get to know one another better, but Sadie will finally be able to help Breanna plan her upcoming wedding. They board the ship with high expectations of a well-deserved vacation. And except for the mysterious woman on the ship that Shawn seems to know but will not discuss, and the fact that Breanna's future mother-in-law has already hijacked the wedding plans, and the unexpected death of a passenger in the middle of the buffet line, Sadie's vacation would have been perfect.

As it is, Sadie will need all her investigative skills to navigate the deep waters of the mystery that is soon swirling around her family. Amid her growing fears for the future, Sadie must also come to terms with the fact that her role in the lives of her children is changing and that even the best laid plans can go awry when a secret gets thrown into the mix.

such a great book, Had one mystery after another

Kept me pleasantly surprised Definitely kept you on the edge Once you thought you figured it out and add another mystery

So cute and fast past!

I loved this one in the series. It was so fun to see Sadie and her whole family on a cruise and also her solving a mystery. It was so good! The ending was also such a great surprise! I loved it!

One of my favorite series!

I love how this Kilpack writes with just the right amount of description & how fun & real Sadie is. A good escape to read or listen too!

Horrid Narrator and Amaturish Writing

I am shocked at the number of positive reviews on this book. This is the first in the series that I've listened to and it will be my last. The narrator, for me, was worse than nails on a chalk board. She sounded like she was reading the book to a 2 year old. The characters in the book were aweful. I really wanted to like this book. I wanted a clean, good mystery, but this book was amaturish. The main character was so whiny and weak and pathetic that I can't believe there are multiple books written using her and her family. The mystery itself was boring and simple. I absolutely cannot recommend this book and wonder why so many people like it.
