Story okay but poor narration

I stuck with it only because the story was OK, but the narration was really hard to listen to.

5 Stars

Influenced to Death is an engaging and well written cozy mystery. I look forward to the next mystery.

Olivia returns to Lily Rock

An engaging story which dwells in the wild, wild west of social media influencers. I love amateur sleuth Olivia. She is daring, funny and perceptive. The narration was fun and great to listen to. I was sad it is over. Bring on book three!

Love a good cozy mystery…

This is a fun, cozy, mystery set in a quirky fictional small town. The characters are larger than life. The story was a pleasant way to pass the time during my commute.

Silly Plot

Actually, a landlord is not required to return to a rental property in the event of a death on his or her property, Olivia could prove that she was hundreds of miles away and easily could have given a statement by phone or e-mail. While fiction writers often stretch the truth, why not create a situation that does not insult the reader's intelligence.
