It had potential

Seems like the author's goal was to get to the end quickly. A lot was happening but almost nothing was wrapped up, leaving the reader with no resolution. Add in a Christian dating a non believer and I was disappointed in the story.

A mystery inside a bigger crime

This is a short story of a murder committed on Groundhog Day. This book is the second in a series which has an overall crime,to be solved throughout the series, and each book has its own secondary mystery that seems to elude to the larger story. I didn’t have an opportunity to listen to the first book in the series, and plenty of references were made to the first crime, but it was always explained in such a way that I feel like I haven’t missed anything important in the overall crime coming in at this point.
The narrator has a clear voice,and reads at a good pace. Her overall style keeps the listener engaged in this well written cozy mystery.
