Summary
Dead Ringer is audiobook number eight in the Aggie Underhill Mystery series.
Aggie and her friends have rented a beach house in Oceanside while anxiously awaiting the birth of her granddaughter. Little did she know that Roger's supposed near-death experience of practically choking to death on a golden ring baked into a gluten-free doughnut would land her in so much trouble.
Now, it's up to Betty, Aggie's best friend, to put the clues together and play detective in order to dig Aggie out of a dangerous situation.
Will the mystery of the golden ring be solved before Aggie's granddaughter is born?
Join Aggie, Betty, and Roger in this comical escapade to find out.

Much more than just doughnuts
Unbeknownst to her, Aggie Underhill had acquired a bit of a reputation as an amateur sleuth following the writing of her exp!loits on a blog kept by her close friend, Betty. She only discovered that she was famous when she and Betty, together with Robert, rented an holiday home to be present when Aggie'e daughter had her second baby. Local pleasures included the bakery with doughnuts to die for - almost literally, when Robert nearly chokes on a gold ring inside one of them. And being a nosey sort of psrson, Aggie finds herself in trouble again.
This lighthearted, rather ridiculous mystery. Is very character focused and great fun; it would surely make a great comedic thriller film in the style of the old Ealing comedies or the Margaret Rutherford Agatha Christie movies. Narrator Eliza Andes has a very pleasant voice and reads the text beautifully. She also individually voices each of the protagonists - and this is where, for this reader, the problem arises. Because Ms.Ander's rendering of the females is so over the top and silly, it was hard to get past the early chapters - there is a lot of conversational exchange. A pity because with a less satirical performance the whole book would have been not only more enjoyable but much funnier also. A real case of less is more.
This is the first of the Aggie Underhill stories that I have read, although I am familiar with other of M.A.Holstein's books and always found them well written and enjoyable. My thanks to the rights holder of Dead Ringer, who, at my request freely gifted me with a complimentary copy, via Audiobook Boom. I will be looking out for others in the series to brighten up those days when something undemanding and fun is needed. But, sadly, not one read by this narrator: better to read the printed version instead.

Aggie saved by friends & besotted officer
Aggie managed to get herself in trouble again, good job for close friends and a besotted police officer. I enjoyed the simple story that was very well narrated with excellent accents. I was left feeling very sorry for Vincent!

Aggie and her friends anxiously await the birth of Aggie's second grandchild. Roger heads and and as usual is looking for a deal. So he get donuts for breakfast. Only this time its not such a deal when he finds a wedding band in his donuts. The story moves at a nice pace and Roger is as rude as always. The introduction of Betty's blog is quite fun! Great job on the narration.

Loved it
This has to be the best one of the series so far - felt so sorry for Vincent. Loved the bit towards the end with the two grandmothers. The narration suited the story - I really liked it but I am intrigued as to why it keeps swapping, all have been good so far.
Love the fact that they are nice and short
