Pushing Up Daisies

Daisy and Rose Mystery Series

By: Penny Clover Petersen

Narrated by: Sarah Logan

Daisy Forest knows a ghost when she sees one. True, she has never actually seen a ghost before, but she swears their transparency is a dead giveaway. Daisy, a volunteer tour guide at the historic Holly Hill Mansion, knows that Sophia Meade Long, the woman who once owned the mansion, has been dead since 1814. So, when a very transparent Sophia steps in front of Daisy’s little Prius one night and asks for her help, how could she refuse? Once again Daisy and her sister, Rose, find themselves up to their eyeballs in all sorts of shenanigans - chasing ghosts, holding séances, and searching for priceless Revere silver.

The sudden reappearance of their reprobate father, Dickie Forest, with a new and unlikely interest in the occult has them puzzled to say the least, and their mother, Angela, behaving at her eccentric best. What seems to be harmless fun takes a deadly turn when Daisy stumbles on the body of the mansion’s curator in the wine cellar, and Daisy is later attacked after a Gothic evening in the mansion. When the police seemed to be stumped, it’s up to Daisy and Rose, with the invaluable help of Angela, to calm the ghost and catch a killer.

Fun

This is the 1st audiobook that I've listened to by this author. I really enjoyed it!

Fun Read and Cocktails Too!

I received this book for free. I am voluntarily posting this review and all opinions expressed herein are my own.

This is the third book in the Daisy and Rosey Mystery series. It is standalone book with no cliffhanger ending. It can easily be read without having read any of the prior books in the series.

This book is a light, fun, quick read. Rosey, Daisy and their mother Angela are quirky but amusing characters. This time the mystery involves a ghost and dabbling with a Ouija board. And really, how can you not enjoy a mystery where the characters enjoy their cocktails as they solve a murder. Recipes for cocktails are included at the end of the book.

The narrator, Sarah Logan, does a great job with the narration. She is a different narrator from the previous two books [Kim Rossi]. Logan did different voices for the various characters. This was an enthusiastic and fun narration.

Ghostly

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
A really good creepy mystery with great comedy! Roses sister and mother can’t quite believe her when she says she saw a ghost let alone the ghost of someone who use to live in the historical mansion nearby. The descendant that owns currently supports her 100%. So is she crazy? Or is there actually ghosts haunting their town.
I will admit the surprise guest appearance of a particular character certainly keeps you guessing as to why they showed up.
I recommend to those who love ghost mysteries with a side of murder.

Good

This was a nice, fun and cute mystery. I enjoyed it thoroughly and like the series by this author. The narrator was really good and was able to get the characters' personalities and differentiate voices very well

Fun, light mystery

If you are a fan of cozy mysteries, this one is worth the credit. I don't listen to too many cozy mysteries, so many of them I struggle to listen to the end. This book was light, a lot of fun and enjoyable, very much worth the credit for cozy mystery fans.
