Charming. Funny. Well-read.

I read the first book in this series and couldn’t wait to continue. This second cozy-mystery did not disappoint. I thought it began a bit slowly but as the story picked up I was fully engaged. The reader, Alison Larkin, was excellent. She did specific character voices so well. I laughed out loud often. I was fully invested in amity and milo’s marital troubles. I was eager to see the murder and robbery solved. This was an excellent book.

Different narrator than the first book in the series...

She starts out a bit shrill and with a little lisp but as she reads the shrill settles down and the lisp fades. Milo and Amory Ames are very much like Nick and Nora Charles and their mysteries are similar, nice and cosy!

Great

I am really enjoying this series. Another murder with mysteries upon mysteries. Finally thinking Amory and Milo are on the mend. Narration good

Similar style to the Royal Spyness series

Any additional comments?

It's similar to Rhys Bowen in style and setting. While these book series are unrelated, I felt like I was reading a spin off, told by Belinda after she had gotten married. I think Georgie's sleuthing ways rubbed off on her and this is how Belinda turns out. It's enjoyable and I looked for the third book as soon as I finished but I guess I need to wait a bit.

Another Very Satisfying Listen..!!

I consider a book a success,.. when it’s finished ,... and I realize I’m smiling..
Deep?.. No, but all the same , worth a credit..
