But when one of the mugs is shattered over Josie’s ex-husband’s head and he’s found dead along the riverside trail, the sheriff is sure the potter finally snapped. To make things worse, the dead man had flowers and an … had flowers and an engagement ring with him, only months after the ink dried on his divorce to Josie.

This review is for the audio book.
I really enjoyed this book. I love the way the girls and boys compete against each other in order to prove there theory is the right one. This is the sixth book in series and I have enjoyed everyone, you don’t need to be like me and have listened to them all to enjoy this one but it is such a fun light heart mystery series with romance, cas and good friendship that I recommend that you do. The mystery was good and I hadn’t worked out who the killer was which is a bounces because it means there are plenty of suspects and twists. I look forward to the next instalment.
The residents of Stoneybrook are taking part in the annual river run but things come to a grinding halt when a dead on is found on the course. The man was dressed up, with flowers and a ring in his pocket but having only month’s ago signed the divorce papers it is a huge shock because nobody even knew he was dating anyone. The ex wife Joise is the obvious suspect for the deputy especially as the murder weapon the first place pottery mug especially designed was created and made by Joise.
but Hadley thinks her brother is making a big mistake because that means there mother’s best friend is a killer. In order to prove her innocent Hadley puts down her jam making equipment and starts her own investigation. Hadley starts at the dead man’s office only to find that they had had a break in and once again all the evidence points to the ex wife. Hadley needs to prove somebody else had a very good reason to kill him and the opportunity. Can Hadley get to the bottom of it before her brother is forced into arresting Josie?
I liked the narrator she has such a distinct voice that she uses very well to bring the characters to life.
Another trip to the charming town of Stoneybrooke with all its wonderful residents. A good mystery with plenty of suspects. Another cat and her kittens are introduced and they have an interesting background and future. A pleasant easy read.
One step, two steps, MURDER!
Well, I did not see that coming. A Glazed Finish was one of those rare times when I was totally surprised by whodunit. Eryn Scott had her characters, and most definitely me, coming and going in such a way that I didn’t see what was right in front of my nose. I couldn’t have been more wrong in who I suspected. But, oh, that was such a great part of the fun of listening to sixth A Stoneybrook Mystery audiobook!
I’ve really been enjoying the A Stoneybrook Mystery series as I am a big fan of clean reads, especially of the cozy mystery variety. It’s been so much fun solving mysteries with Hadley and clan. Watching their relationships change and grow, and in the last few books getting to know Hadley’s spunky grandmother. So, if who like to figure out whodunit, love cats, and have a sweet tooth for jams and jellies you’ve got to check out A Glazed Finish, and the rest of the series, from Eryn Scott.
Once again, listening to this audiobook was a real treat! Absolutely no complaints at all! I love the narrator for the role and was glad to hear that she was back for this audiobook. Great listening!

This series continues to get better with every book!
I love reading cozy mysteries especially when the author tells the story so well that you feel like one of the townies. That is exactly how I feel about this cozy mystery series. This story is the fifth book of the series and just as entertaining as the first four books. I am now binge reading the series. Eryn Scott is definitely one of my favorite authors now.

A Glazed Finish is a great example of a cozy mystery and one that I found thoroughly entertaining; I loved this book from start to finish and was riveted as I followed the clues trying to guess the murderer before Hadley and her brother and friends.
Narrator Jennifer Jill Araya as really brought these books to life for me and did a fabulous job keeping me entertained. This was a a book filled with a lot of secrets and the intrigue and suspense kept me riveted as I listened to this story.
