Extremely Slow Pace

I received this Audible books in return for a review. This story was Very slow moving with more written about irrelevant things than the actual Story itself. Book has more of Drinking Coffee, Reading books, Taking a Nap, and Going out to eat than about the main story. Narrator speaks to softly and volume has to be at it's highest and even then there are times you cannot really hear what is being said. All in all a very disappointing story.

An enjoyable read

This is the 2nd book in a series involving two retired sisters, some of their family and a Lodge where murders seem to happen every time they visit. I find these books enjoyable to listen to and the narrator did an excellent job. I highly recommend this series. If you like clean, well scripted, murder mysteries that involve women of a certain age who are intelligent and likable then you'll enjoy these books!

2nd Book and Still Loving it!

This is the second book in this series. I loved the previous one and wondered if this one would measure up with regards to the narrator and the plot. It, also, kept me engrossed and the ending was just as surprising! So far I am highly recommending it. Nice and clean so that even teenagers can read it.

Wedding in Canaan Valley

This is the second in the series. I thought the narrator did a good job to enhance the story. She used many different inflections to portray the various characters.

There was more than one killing. Laslow, the uncle of Stefan and his once business partner are killed in their rooms in the Alpenhof Inn. Our amateur sleuths are assisting Chief Ward with the investigation. I found the relationship with the law a pleasant and refreshing experience. Most cozy mysteries have an antagonistic relationship between the police and the sleuth(s).

Loved the twists, turns and sometimes the simplicity in the characters. This not to say they are your stereotypical southern West Virginia folks.
So, our sleuths are trying to link the murders and it takes some doing to find a common denominator.

Looking forward to book 3.

Great mystery and characters

If you liked the 1st book, you'll love this one. This picks up right where the last left off. Some new characters, and a new murder to investigate. Can't wait to finish the 3rd.

A wedding and deadly tea

Moonlight Mayhem is Book 2 of the Moon Mystery Series by Helen Taught Fanick. I truly enjoyed this audio book. The story is very entertaining and th end murder mystery is good. Andrea and Kathleen are preparing for their niece's wedding. Maggie and Stephan are getting married and his family has come for the ceremony. Unfortunately, v that night after the bride and groom have left for the honeymoon, an uncle is murdered and everyone is suspect. Paula Faye Leinweber does an outstanding performance bringing Moonlight Mayhem to life. This cozy mystery is very good with clues to find the murderer. But, just as the Sheriff is closing in on the murderer, he/she is closing in on another victim. I can't wait to listen to the next book in the series... they just keep getting better!

Weddings are murder!

Moonlight Mayhem is #2 in the Moonlight mystery series by Helen Haught Fanick. Maggie and Andrea go to the Alpenhof Hotel in West Virginia for their niece Maggie’s wedding to Stephan, the hotel owner). Guests come for the wedding from all over, including Stephan’s family who come from Europe. After the wedding, someone gets poisoned, then another murder occurs! The guests can’t leave until the murder is solved! The narration by Paula Faye Leinweber is very good.

love the characters!

The narration has improved so much from the first book. I love the characters and the elderly sisters remind me of a couple of elderly women I know. This is a wonderful series.

I enjoy the narrator

The story is an easy cozy mystery from the perspective of a sweet older lady who just feels exactly like a favorite great aunt. The sound quality was significantly improved since the first book

interesting

Kudos for mentioning Ben Rehder, as I'm a huge fan of his books and humor. I found it ironic that the civilian slueth was finding all the clues the law enforcement overlooked. Sad revelation. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a good job bringing it to life.
