Olive You to Death

Tourist Trap Mystery, Book 17

By: Lynn Cahoon

Narrated by: Lauren Pedersen

In the coastal town of South Cove, June is tourist season—and wedding season. Unfortunately, Jill Gardner's own wedding has been delayed. But that just gives her more time to search for a missing bride—and a killer . . .

Things are looking up for the owner of Coffee, Books, and More—Jill's finally getting her MBA, and though her wedding to police detective Greg is postponed a few months, she still has plenty to celebrate. A girls' weekend in Santa Barbara is just the ticket. But back in South Cove, someone else's big day has become a big problem. Antiques dealer Josh Thomas and Mandy Jensen were planning a small private ceremony under an olive tree on the historic Jensen farm—until Mandy went missing.

Is this a case of a runaway bride—or a guilty groom? Greg zeroes in on Josh but finds him so annoying that he quietly asks Jill's help in keeping his number-one suspect distracted. She knows that Josh is searching for something else besides his fiancee—a bank robber's buried gold bullion. And when the professor he'd been discussing it with turns up dead, she can't help wondering if what looked like cold feet was actually cold-blooded murder.

Good story

I liked the narrator. However I did miss Susan Boyce’s narration from the previous books.

read the whole series

When you read a whole series it becomes like family. This author paints a picture and puts you there at this ocean front little town. The characters are so realistic you become invested in their lives.

Olive You To Death

Loved the story, disliked the reader. Had to strain to hear parts where she talked low and seemed to mumble. Please bring back Susan Boyce to read

Love this series

Did not like a different reader after the other books in this series was the same reader.

This narrator not as talented

As with the last book, I thought the story was okay. What stood out most was the change in narrators. This one has a younger voice, which I liked, but she was not able to carry off voice changes for different characters.
