Everything Bundt the Truth

A Dinner Club Murder Mystery

By: Karen C. Whalen

Narrated by: Ann Simmons

Recent widow Jane Marsh is determined to recapture a rich, full life. She strives for youthful fun by riding a bicycle downtown on her lunch hour in a suit and heels, smoking cigars, eating at hipster restaurants, and re-entering the dating scene, even if her dates prove to be peculiar.

Her most fervent desire, though, is to join an exclusive dinner club. She auditions, but is barred when her housekeeper is found murdered, and she and her guest list become the suspect list. Her, a killer? So what if her two late husbands died under suspicious circumstances. It doesn't make her a killer.

Having passed off a store bought Bundt cake as her own creation, she may have committed a culinary crime, but never murder!

Everything Bundt the Truth A Dinner Club Murder Mystery
: Karen C. Whalen

This is a clean cozy mystery that had suspense and romance to add to the plot. The pace was a bit slow for my taste, but it held my attention. Plenty of suspects to choose from, and enough twists to keep you wondering.


The narration was well done. The characters were well portrayed by Ann Simmons.

Nice story

Nice story if you enjoy mysteries, even included a twist at the end. I am not typically a mystery reader but I received a complimentary copy of this one in exchange for an honest review. It was a clean story and had some interesting character development.

I didn't see that coming!

I enjoyed Karen Whalen's writing. She held my attention throughout the story.

Ann Simmons brought the characters to life.

Let Them Eat Cake!

Let's start with the disclaimer: I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. I requested it because I thought it sounded like fun--and it was. The plotting was clever, clues were well-developed, and the denouement was a surprise. Clearly set in the present with full internet and cellphone capabilities, there was nonetheless a curious '60s quality to the lifestyle; I kept expecting Rob and Laura Petrie to sit down to dinner. (Since I loved that show, this is a good thing!) Guess I'll have to check out what's next on the menu!

Great story

This book had a decent story line, What happens when you are having a dinner party and the housekeeper you just hired is murdered in you basement ,, You decide to find the murderer yourself. I was not sure when i first started reading but as the story went on i really enjoyed, I was surprised at who killer was, The only complaint i have is the narrator, She was not bad but i feel she needed make more distinction with the voices for each character, Sometime i was not sure which one she was doing,
