Dime a Dozen

Mackenzie Owens Mysteries, Book 5

By: Jasmine Webb

Narrated by: Brittany Pressley

There’s blood on the canvas, but it’s not exactly art…

There are more than just paintings on display at the St. Albinus art festival as Mack shows up one morning to find a body propped up against one of the easels. And worse, a threatening message on the body indicates this might not be the killer's last victim.

Deciding that solving this crime is her key to making a name for herself in town—for a good reason, for once—Mack immediately decides she’s going to figure out who killed the artist. But, she very quickly discovers that the victim had a lot more than watercolors on his palette.

As Mack gets closer to finding the killer, she also uncovers some secrets Aksel was trying to keep hidden. With that Pandora’s box open, will things ever go back to how they were between them? And with the killer deciding Mack is getting too close to answers, will she survive long enough to find out who did it? Or is her body about to be the next masterpiece put on display?

Dime A Dozen

Producer needs to check this recording. There are a couple chapters from another book intermingled in this one. Someone who hasn’t listened to the other book is going to be very confused. Otherwise, it was good.

Another great addition

Dime a Dozen is the fifth book in the MacKenzie Owens Mystery series written by Jasmine Webb. This has a great storyline and laugh out loud moments as Mack has another exciting adventure.
I enjoyed having a strong female protagonist like Mac.
Brittany Presley gave an excellent performance as she brought the storyline to life and gave each character their own distinct voice.
I highly recommend this book to cozy
mystery fans.

The author deserves a better producer

The story is great as always, but there is at least one chapter from a previous book mixed in with this — and at a crucial point in the story no less. Unbelievably careless.

Wrong Chapter 26

Not sure what happened with the recording, but chapter 25 was from a previous book. So an important section of the book is just missing.

Excellent and entertaining

I liked almost everything about this book, and the series. Great story turns and it’s performed exceptionally well.

The only aspect I didn’t find enjoyable were the occasional digs on conservative leaning views. They seemed gratuitously written into the storyline. Certainly, if it was pivotal to the story, it would make sense. It seemed more like the author thought, “ this is where I can let readers know my political views”. For instance, there were digs in Joe Rogan in this text. This was written in a tone to make Rogan sound like a sexiest pig. Now had the author used Andrew Tate, that would have made more sense. By using Rogan, it seemed like an unusual opportunity to make a weak criticism of Rogan rather than help the reader with the development of the character the author was referencing in the text.
