Narrator Had A Cold The Whole Book

Production should have postponed the taping of this book for a couple of weeks until the narrator got over her head cold.. she was ubglubby the entire time and would have benefited greatly from a bottle of nose drops, and a good hard blow into Kleenex tissues...

Nice little cosy

I liked it. More of a novella length which made the task of fitting everything in quite a task for the author. She finds a body and the detective brushes her off when she suggests murder. Then the Medical Examiner weighs in. Not deathless prose but a nice cozy to keep me company while doing household tasks.
Jennifer M. Dixon seemed to be an interested narrator but with allergies making her voice a bit nasal and my midwestern self needed to listen at 1.2 speed (not a complaint).

Disappointing

Can't say this book is interesting or even atmospheric. Lighthouses and cosy mysteries - what's not to love? Put together, this could have resulted in a great experience. However, this mystery is not cosy at all. And the lighthouse is only mentioned a few times, plays no role in the story and provides no ambience whatsoever. The beautiful cover of the book turns out to be the best of it.

Can’t get past the narrator

The book may be fine, but I can’t get past the narrator. Just grating and slightly off in inflection. Sounds as though she has a bad cold. Separation of characters’ voices is confusing or overwrought.

Tea and scones

I am sorry I cannot rate this book and performance better than I have but in all candor it seemed that the more I tried to like this book the worse it grew on my mind. The characters all seemed to be cut from the same cloth as there speech varied little from one character to another. This was difficult to listen to. I do not think that either read or listen to another book in this series. Although I love lighthouses and seascapes this text could have been written about a field in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzTVBPyq4Dw the middle of the English countryside.

Not bad characters but just came to a conclusion o

Ok characters but ending a bit of a leg down...still I liked main character may get second in the series of there is one....but it needs to be a better story line
