Julie Howard –
I enjoyed this book. This is book 13 in the series but the first one I have listened to and I found it to be a stand alone story and never felt like I was missing anything not having heard the previous books. I enjoyed the mystery but it did jump around, you were told about the murder then it went back in time to how they met the main character, so did get a bit confused. I soon caught up and enjoyed the solving. I liked the characters and think I will be looking out for the rest of the series as it was a nice easy mystery with plenty of suspects to keep you guessing. It also included some recipes that I am never going to make but sound interesting if you like cooking.
Liz meets four teenagers just hours before one of them is murdered. She vows to stay out of it because with her friend having got the job of chief of police she know he will stop at nothing to catch the killer unlike the old chief, who just liked giving out traffic tickets. And she does stay out of it despite everyone wanting to discus the case with her until the Chief and his assistant catch pneumonia and end up in hospital. The old chief is shouting about incompetence and wanting his old job back, so Liz steps up to the plate. First she has to work out why the teenager was killed, was it a burglary gone wrong or had someone put a hit out on her? The four teenagers were in the process of selling an app they had designed which would have made them rich. Did someone kill her to get there hands on the share? And if so what does that mean for the remaining three?
I liked the narrator and thought she used her voice well to bring the characters to life and give them a voice.
