A #1 Amazon Bestseller in Animal Cozy Mystery, Culinary Cozy Mystery, and Cozy Books, Bookstores, & Libraries Mysteries!!!

When Rebecca Orange is dumped by her boyfriend and fired from her job in the same breath, she thinks she’s hit rock bottom. But fate has other plans. A surprise job offer whisks Rebecca-- and her Tibetan Mastiff dog, Joe-- to the storybook country of Monrovia.

There, in a centuries-old castle straight out of a dream, she’s tasked with caring for the royal menagerie. The locals are eccentric, the flower shop smells like heaven, and the castle's broodingly handsome Duke might just be harboring a crush… or a secret.

Life in Monrovia is nearly perfect—until the castle’s head architect turns up dead. Worse, Rebecca’s closest new friend is the prime suspect.

Now, between sipping tea in sun-drenched courtyards and dodging over-curious nobility, Rebecca must unravel a tangled mystery that threatens to bring everything crashing down. But she’s not about to let this fairy tale end in tragedy.

Filled with humor, heart, and a dash of romance, Mystery at Monrovia Castle is the perfect blend of cozy charm and edge-of-your-seat intrigue!

Great story

I dislike the AI voice reader. I prefer humans reading. I just doesn't sound real.

AI narration was poor.

I didn't like the AI narration at all. It made several pronunciation errors and several times even said the words for punctuation marks! It also wasn't good at using the correct intonation. It ruined the story for me.
