About this listen
Annie Acorn Audio is pleased to present Bright Treasures, written by Annie Acorn and narrated by Lisa Leslie.
Angelique MacDuff paused as the knot in her stomach tightened. Across the pavement of Bright Seas’ Main Street, the shop waited, but whether it beckoned or warned her to turn and run, she couldn’t have said.
Sixteen months ago, her husband left the tarmac’s safety in their newly purchased delivery van and drove off a precipice northeast of town. There had been no screech of brakes before their van had headed straight for the cliff’s edge, where it had left the Earth and, for a moment, hung suspended in the air before plunging into Bright Seas Bay.
Death had been attributed to a fractured skull. At first, she hadn’t cared about the cause. As time passed, though, she had taken comfort from the fact that her husband hadn’t drowned. Then, she had begun to question.
So opens the newest, full-length cozy mystery from internationally beloved, From Women’s Pens author Annie Acorn. Once again, Ms. Acorn weaves together an interesting cast of characters, as a tangled web tightens around them. Filled with an abundance of clues, we bet you still won’t solve this unique puzzle before the end.
You won’t want to miss this one!

So far, so good. Interesting characters (although it does seem that everyone is a bit batty, mostly elderly, and all related to one or other of two families) and with the potential for - well, almost anything from romance to mystery. However, it seems that the young window's dog has better instincts than most of the inhabitants although it takes intervention from above to get ex wife and best friend determined that someone.murdered her busband. Ho hum, only a year or so late. It all turns into a bit of a farce, then, though there is a brief period of tension build up towards the end as the actions, with timings, of various townspeople are spliced together prior to a final denouement.
Narrator Lisa Leslie is excellent, reading with clarity and good intonation. Her voicing of the disparate protagonists is individual and interesting.so that each is separately identifiable, and the text well performed without being overdramatic, thank goodness.
This reader is not averse to the paranormal, nor divine intervention, or reincarnation, etcetera, but some of the content of this book just seemed daft, I'm afraid, though good for a laugh at times (exchanging text messages with a dead relative, for example). I was fortunate in being freely gifted a complimentary copy of Bright Treasures, at my request, by the rights holder, via Audiobook Boom. Thank you. Although the characters were delightfully eccentric and well developed, the main storyline mystery was poorly conceived: a great pity. But perhaps now that this first book has been sritten, introducing the strange little town of Bright Seas, author Annie Acorn can continue to expand on the daily lives of these deliciously bizarre but very real people and find a decent mystery to focus the attention of the inhabitants. Yes, including the dog.
Nothing surprises me in Bright Seas.
