Cosy crime and likeable characters

This is my first book of this series, I know it isn't story 1, but since it was included in my Audible, I downloaded to have a listen. I really enjoyed the story and narration. The pace of story was perfect for me, and the plot was a relaxing type, kept one wondering whodunit yet not heart pounding. I like Libby and the supporting casts . The narrator had a nice soothing voice to match the characters and story. I will be getting book 1 to start this series.

Good read

Loved the story line and the characters, I was worried about the pets too. enjoyed the titles of each chapter too.

Basic cozy mystery

This was a basic cozy murder mystery with a little dog kidnapping on the side. Good characters and decent plot. All the pieces tied up in the end.

A pleasant surprise

I wanted something light while I did housework. This was so much more. Excellent.

Just ok

Pleasant enough story but it was a bit hard to follow. I tried going back once the killer was revealed to see where I failed to pick up clues. I couldn’t find the threads. So the big reveal was a bit of a surprise. I agree with others that the motive is a bit thin. I did like the narrator although I found it difficult to distinguish all the voices. If it wasn’t included in plus catalog I would have considered a return. I will read the next plus catalog addition to see if i can get closer to the characters.
