Easy listen

Super easy listen and not very heavy for a murder mystery. I appreciate how it doesn’t switch perspectives 300 times.

1st of a series

Cute little book for a day's worth of listening. Straightforward plot with non-complex characters. I'm sure this is intended to set us up to meet the cast who will continue to appear in the series. Not a lot about Key West, although purported to be set there. Could have been any other Gulf or SE Atlantic seashore town. Met the requirements for a Kindle Challenge read.

depends on what you like

This book is well written and very well narrated, but not really my kind of book.

The mystery is ok. The side characters seem like they'd be interesting, but we don't really get to know them. The focus is on the amateur detective, the handsome cop, and their budding attraction. There's even a love triangle hinted for later in the series.

if you like your cozies a little heavier on the romance this is probably for you.

Great book!

I enjoyed listening to this novel. It was well written and the performance was excellent!

Looking for mystery?

Read and played audio version 3 times. It was a struggle to keep interest in plot. This cozy mystery book was so cozy that it put me to sleep.
