Narration is horrible. Ruins the story. .

The narrator sounded like she had as reading a story to her four year old. Flat , sing-song, no character voices, she sounded bored.

Fun listen

This was a short but fun book to listen to. Is this how it works in real life when police officers are investigating? No, but that is why I love reading.

Makes me hungry!

Murder in the Pearl District is #5 in the Cedar Bay Cozy Mystery series by Dianne Harman. Kelly heads to Portland to cater a dinner that her friend Sophie is hosting for Donatella, a well known celebrity chef. When Donatella is found murdered, Kelly helps sort out the suspects. Since its based around restaurants, there is a lot of food talk and tge descriptions made me very hungry! Nice cozy story. The narrator, Jamie Lynn did a great job with the characters and bringing the story to life.

Food and murder

Another great book in the Cedar Bay series by Dianne Harman. I love Kelly and the dogs in this series. Kelly’s friend has invited her to come to Portland to cater a dinner party for her. Kelly can take her dog Rebel because he was invited too. This should be a simple fun break for Kelly. But the day after the dinner, the guest of honor is dead. There’s lots of suspects who could have wanted her dead.
