Outline for Murder

By: Karin Kaufman

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Meet Kelsie Butler. Coffee addict. Dog lover. Mystery buff.

A relative newcomer to the quaint town of Fairwood, Colorado, newly widowed Kelsie Butler is thrilled when she’s asked to write the script for a murder mystery game hosted at the local coffee house.

But when one of the contestants is murdered, and that murder bears a striking resemblance to the murder in Kelsie’s game, the police chief turns his sights on Kelsie and her friend Gwen, the owner of the coffee house.

With Stella the Aussie mix as her companion, Kelsie draws on her knowledge of murder mysteries—and her circle of mystery-loving friends—to crack the baffling case.

This cozy series features a small town, an amateur sleuth, lots of coffee, and plenty of dogs. No foul language or graphic scenes of any kind.

Fun Easy Listening

This was a fun novel to listen to. It had mystery suspense, and a little bit of thriller, but not so much where it made me anxious or overwhelmed me. It read like an Agatha Christie novel, which was a nice throwback. I did not like the AI narrator because it lacked that human emotion and layer to the narration.
