Death, Divorce, and Dessert earns 5/5 Sweet Pies…Enjoyable Mystery!
Kayla Michelle/K.M. Morgan is quite prolific at writing entertaining cozies. Clever, yet not complicated, drama with interesting misdirection and a satisfying wrap up. Her characters are realistic and varied and entertaining to follow. In this short audiobook (1:10) “Death, Divorce, and Dessert,” Chloe Cook is a young woman from a loving family with a grandmother who is a bit non-filtered with her opinions, and a boyfriend who doesn’t seem offended by the “when are you getting married?” remarks. Chloe is employed as a make-up saleswoman for Crissy’s Cap Cod Cosmetics and visits clients to sell her products, but instead of promoting the benefits of a new moisturizer, she finds her client, Emily Hightower, dead. Chloe is not a novice with investigating murder, and Detective Thicke is beginning to recognize her skill, and over pie, they seek “inspiration.” Fun. Clever story. Satisfying conclusion. Stephanie Quinn has a very pleasant voice for this third-person narrative with an entertaining effort performing age and gender through her tone. Entertaining narration. Well worth spending the time.
A quick cozy mystery. I enjoyed this story as Chloe Cook came upon the murdered body of a friend and worked with the police to solve the crime. The secondary characters were also interesting, and I loved the interactions amongst them. Stephanie Quinn did a wonderful job with the narration.
I received this audiobook as a gift, and this is my unsolicited review.
Format: audiobook
A short read/listen so as you’d expect there’s not much depth but that doesn’t stop it from being enjoyable, I liked Chloe’s character and the narration was good. All in all a good cozy mystery.
Quick, Clean, Cozy.
Death, Divorce, and Dessert, my twelfth read/listen from author K.M. Morgan & first with co-writer Kayla Michelle. A cute, well-written, clean, cozy mystery, obviously I like Morgan’s well-written & enjoyable work. I look forward to reading more from her. I was given an Audible copy of this book & am voluntarily reviewing it. Narrator Stephanie Quinn’s talented narration added greatly to the book’s enjoyment.

Just the right length for listening to while in a waiting room! Amateur sleuth Chloe is not only the one to find the body of her friend, but the older detective in their small town decides to have her along on the suspect interviews because he knows that she’ll be at cross purposes with him otherwise. And it’s a darn good thing that he does!
Stephanie Quinn is the perky narrator.

This short cozy fills right in the cracks of my day! I loved to hear Chloe’s mystery after she finds her friend Emily stabbed to death. Give us a town full of suspects, a cranky old detective and a no nonsense thinker like Chloe, and we are sure to find the murderer. It’s quick, fun, gets right into the thick of things and best of all has pie! Narrated by Stephanie Quinn, it’s a short whodunnit full of adventure and fun!
