Another cute, entertaining entry in the Liz Lucas Mystery Series. Brandy Boy is lovable – and works hard at his “job” – so the focus on him is enjoyable and sweet. The spa is getting more well known, Liz has another murder to solve, and her relationship with Roger is progressing. Fun read with a good plot and interesting characters.
I think this is my favorite one by this author so far. The narration was also good. I am definitely preferring the female narrations. An enjoyable mystery with a lot of younger characters.
What a fun read, well written, super storyline, love the characters and the easy going way the mystery is solved.
A cosy mystery at its best.
I received this audiobook for free from the author and wanted to give an honest review.
This review is for the audio book.
I enjoyed this fun cozy mystery. I have listened to a lot a books by this author (and not in the right order) and this is one of my favourite series, so it was nice to go back to the beginning to how Brandy boy became famous. Most authors now days include a cute dog or cat as a side kick to help solve the case but I just love the way Brandy boy plays his part. The rest of the characters are like able but it is definitely the dog that wins me over. The mystery it’s self was interesting and covered a lot of subjects from bullying to computer hacking all of which provided a plethora of suspects. I had worked out who the killer was but that was mainly because I didn’t like the character than any good detective work on my part. Off to start the next book in this great series.
Liz is shocked to find out her employee has committed suicide. It was only hours ago that they had been working side by side.and he did seem troubled but not suicidal. At his funeral she over hears a conversation about the local high school being broken into and the possibility of grades being changed. Just how far would somebody go to make sure they go to college? As far as murder? The idea doesn’t seem that far fetched when she learns that his breaks were tempered with in her car park. Knowing the police sheriff is more worried about handing out parking tickets than looking into the murder and the hacking, Liz starts to look into both events because surely they have to be connected.
The narrator was good and came with some different sounding voices for the characters
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
Too many suspects…
Liz Lucas is deeply saddened when Mark, the high school boy who is her intern at the spa, commits suicide. When evidence begins to mount that his death may not have been suicide she is determined to uncover the truth.
I really enjoy Diane Harmon’s books and I especially like the recipes she includes at the end. I am definitely going to try the recipe for the Frozen Butterfinger Pie. It sounds delicious!
