Gumboots, Gumshoes & Murder - A Cozy Detective Style Black Comedy Murder Mystery

Utterly entertaining cozy mystery!

I found this book to be quite fantastic! It’s a funny, cozy mystery set on an island where basically everyone knows one another. Everyone also knows Gertrude the pig and Peaches the cow. They were by far the most entertaining characters! The book moved at a swift pace and the characters were interesting. There were a lot of them though and at one point I did find myself having to think back to who was who. Other than that the book was a comical and quirky mystery that I really enjoyed. I definitely want to continue the series. I hope Gertrude and Peaches continue to make appearances in the books.
The narrator really suited the story well. She brought the characters to life and added comedy to certain areas that may have seemed dull otherwise.

I would like to thank the author/narrator/publisher for generously providing me with a copy of this audiobook in exchange for an unbiased and honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Great Read for a Rainy Day

I just finished listening to Gumboots, Gumshoes and Murder. The story though slow at first gave me the chance to drift away and relax. It's great for a rainy day. Granted this is no Davinci code, But author Laura Hesse has a certain style about her that allows me to close my eyes and easily visualise the world she has created. Narrator Carrie Burgess has solid oratory skills with a great knack for characterizations. Both story and narration were in sync with each other. Enough so that I will keep listening down the road, when I need to escape. Cheers!!!

Delightful

Fun and suspenseful. Nicely drawn characters — both animal and human! An enjoyable adventure. Beautifully narrated.

The story was interesting and a little different. The narrator did a great job bringing the story to life very well!

a pleasant, cozy read

This book delivers exactly what it says it will: an escape into a cozy and picturesque world where everyone has an amazing homestead and some sort of unusual pet. The mystery was not the most interesting (or the most sensical, but maybe the 2nd book will clear that up), but it's got that cozy feel, some quirky characters, and an environment you want to imagine yourself in. Listening to this wrapped up in a blanket with a hot drink in hand is a great way to spend a rainy afternoon.

A perfect afternoon listen!

I certainly enjoyed this book! Interesting plot and characters. How can you go wrong with a female lead, a pig, a cow and murder! The animals had such human personalities it was hard not to love them. Overall, it was a perfect afternoon listen. Enjoy!

Didn’t want to hit pause!

If this wasn’t an audio book it’d be a real page turner. I liked the expressions of the narrator Carrie Burgess.

Kept me looking for more!

I'm still wishing I knew who the.... Right, don't spoil it. You need to listen to this audiobook. The narrator is very engaging and constantly keeps you on your toes with the authors trail of what happens next. The storyline isn't predictable, which makes it even more curious! The characters are well developed too! Highly recommend!

Right in My Face The Whole Time

Great mystery book. The ending left me hoping for book 2. I loved the relationship each character had with Betty. Can’t wait for book 2

Gumboots

This was an okay story.It seemed to pick up then drag for a bit.The same with narration by Carrie Burgess.I think there were too many characters to keep track of.I was given this book by the narrator,author or publisher free for an honest review.
