Boxed Set Books 7-9

By: Harper Lin

Narrated by: Marguerite Gavin

Espressos, Eggnogs, and Evil Exes: On New Year's Day, Fran takes her dog Latte on a walk. Luck of all luck, she finds a dead blonde on the sidewalk—right outside Ryan's house. Sammy, Fran's best friend, has been staying with Ryan, and she becomes the police's number one suspect. Fran can't just sit back and watch her best friend—and the cafe's best latte-maker—go to jail.

Double Shots, Donuts, and Dead Dudes: In the middle of Fran's date night with Matt, at Cape Bay's best Mexican restaurant, Fran's favorite waiter drops dead. Everyone else thinks Pablo had a stroke, but Fran believes he was murdered because he had been getting strange, threatening notes in his apron at work. As Fran digs deeper into another murder case she shouldn't be involved in, she learns her beloved waiter had some secrets stewing in his personal life.

Macchiatos, Macarons, and Malice: When Matt whisks Fran away on a romantic spa weekend at the Alford Inn, she's excited to try French macarons from Jacques de Gaulle, the inn's famous in-house baker. But when an off-duty employee is murdered in the spa-during a mud wrap treatment no less-Fran must use the time she could've been relaxing to solve another murder case. A friend's crumbling marriage depends on it!

The excellent narrator saved the series

The storylines in books 1-9 were weak and repetitive but the narration was extremely good. That kept me going. I just downloaded book 10 and I couldn’t go pass chapter 1. Why change the narrator? If it was absolutely necessary, why pick this person? I’m sure even an AI narration would be far superior!

All round fun!

I like the fact it is an enjoyable listen. You don’t have to concentrate deep to keep track of the happenings. Great go to sleep book!

The Narrator Was Great

I enjoyed the first 6 and thought the 3 book box set would be awesome. The narrator rescued the books. Disappointed.
