Berried in the Past

Cranberry Cove Mystery Series, Book 5

By: Peg Cochran

Narrated by: Romy Nordlinger

The dead of winter takes on a whole new meaning in the new Cranberry Cove Mystery from USA Today best-selling author Peg Cochran!

On a night of heavy snow and bitter cold, newlyweds Monica and Greg are comfortably nestled before a warm fire when they're roused by a late-night knock at the door. Surprised to find a troubled and confused woman on the doorstep, Monica is even more shocked when the woman vacantly utters that someone is trying to kill her. Sensing distress but not danger, Monica decides to help this mysterious woman, but her clouded recollections yield little-until she dredges up memories of her sister and a nearby home, where they find the woman's sister, dead.

Unable to deny her own curiosity or the woman's request for help, Monica begins digging into the suspicious death, only to discover a murky family history of valuable land, a bullying brother, an unscrupulous real estate developer, and endless rumors of good deeds met with bad blood. And when the trail of the killer begins to turn cold, Monica realizes that while the family wants to bury their sister, someone is out to bury the clues-and if Monica's not careful, to bury her as well....

Pretty good

Berries in the Past is a pretty good cozy mystery. I look forward to the next book in this series.

Relaxing

Didn’t dislike anything. Looking forward for another.
Waiting for her brother to get married. The coffee shop in the bookstore.

This whole series is basically a wash

The characters in this series, especially the main ones, are all juvenile and under developed bordering on absolutely stupid. I would hate to live anywhere near these people. I thought they'd get better over time, that they have stayed the same and gotten worse in some regards. They have stagnated and this writer hasn't put any effort into character or plot development. The reader isn't any better. She has limited range on doing characters & her idea of emphasis only lends itself to a high pitched squeaking voice that's totally over done. Overall, the writing, characters & narrator are all quite annoying. Good thing Audible is giving them away for free.
