About this listen

Melanie West is getting her life back on track after a messy divorce when her grandmother, Liza Harris, asks her to join her in opening a bed-and-breakfast inn. Together, Liza and Melanie purchase a purportedly haunted mansion on the Oregon coast and jump right into clearing out the cobwebs. But while attempting to remove wallpaper in an upstairs bedroom, the new B&B owners stumble upon a very real skeleton in their closet. The police suspect the skeleton is that of the wife of the previous owner of the B&B, but no one in town seems to want to say much about her.

As the inn owners try to juggle renovations with their own amateur investigations, their grand opening looms closer and closer - and a friendly ghost in their walls starts playing tricks. But it all comes crashing to a halt when a new body is found stabbed to death on the beach below the inn - the victim chillingly close in resemblance to Melanie herself. It seems someone doesn't appreciate newcomers prying into the small town's past, and now it's up to Melanie and Liza to get to the bottom of these murders to save their business - and their lives.

Initially, I thought this book was for children by the way it was being read. I persisted and went on to enjoy the antics of Kate Kingsbury’s main characters, granddaughter and grandmother, Melanie and Liza, respectively. Tania Gilbert read the story well, using her great reading skills to keep you wondering and guessing which character is guilty of murder- twice over! I liked the way Kate Kingsbury described the location, too, so that the reader feels as though they are there, too! I will read the other books in this series, hopefully, quite soon. I can recommend this book as an enjoyable experience.

Fairly enjoyable story, OK narration. This is basically an introduction to the characters and setting. Needed to be longer and more time spent on getting to know other people other than the 2 main characters. I didn't believe the love interest arc as it felt like she'd only spent about 10 mins in his company. Nevertheless I still wanted to find out whodunnit.

Nothing special but still enjoyable

Yes Liza’s accent is jarring, reminds me of when my gran would pick up the telephone! Broad geordie then as if by magic she turned into the queen! Weak story, But none the less just a lovely listen when tiding up.

Not as bad as some reviews make out

Good story line & characters. Good clear narrator. Good timing in the unravelling of the plot.

Good book

Not a bad little story for a cosy mystery. Sadly rendered hard to listen to by the ghastly attempt at an English accent by the reader. If you're British, this might be too painful for you.

Awful reader

I’m not sure why the majority of Cozy Mystery’s involve the supernatural, but, even though this is supposed to be lighthearted, it’s just a bit too incredulous! No one would just take a haunting in their stride and not try to get to the bottom of it.

I definitely can’t persevere with the rest of the series, I prefer my Cozy Tales to have more credence to them! I’m obviously not the target audience, because I truly don’t see the need for a recipe to be tacked on at the conclusion of the book!

Just a bit too incredulous!

a lovely cosy mystery book, super easy to listen too. The story line isn't too complicated to follow, same with the characters. I've got the 2nd and 3rd book ready to go!
