fun short cozy well narrated

I liked this one, my first by this author. a shortish fun cozy mystery with good characters and an interesting storyline. When Lily arrives to open her new restaurant she finds a body behind the bar. the writing is excellent and the narration works Jeff Moon does a good job with mostly female characters. I will definitely be reading more of these. I received a complimentary copy of the audio from the author and am leaving a honest voluntary review.

Not a tedious “Cookie Cutter” Cozy

This was read really well by Jeff Moon

I was pleasantly surprised by this Cozy Mystery, of late, the typical protagonist is a “ditzy” female who repeatedly ignores what the police detective says, runs around obviously drawing attention to herself and thereby getting herself in unnecessary danger (& needing to be heroically saved by the strong handsome detective…)

Well, this IS NOT one of those. The dog also does not inadvertently find a clue that the police - for some reason - have overlooked. This is a good, down to earth Whodunnit, solved by facts and logic. Nicely told through conversations and online research, interacting with the police and not acting as if they knew better. No hidden simmering romantic undercurrents either!

Included in the audio addition, at the conclusion, is a recipe (which I never listen to, it’s really of no interest to me) and the introduction to the next title in the series, which seems intriguing. I am looking forward to reading it.

A very good Cozy Mystery. Straightforward, interlaced with small town characters and interactions. Not as detailed as the “Cherringham” series, but far superior to the mainstream cookie cutter cozies out there. I definitely recommend this.

I was given a free copy of this title by the author for an honest review. For which I am thankful.

Killer start

This was a quick easy listen. The story wasn't very complicated and the killer was pretty obvious but it is a good start to a new series. With the dog on the cover front and centre I did expect her to play a bigger roll , maybe next time. The characters were like able, obviously as the widow had at least two dates in the story but the story was nicely balanced between the mystery and love interests. As well as the small town feel.
After the death of her husband Lily is finally getting to fulfil his dream of owning a restaurant by the bayside. The only problem is before she can open the doors , she discovers a dead body in the closed up restaurant. Her reporter daughter convinced the small town police force aren't use to murder investigations, especially as the lead detective never solved his last case before moving there, convinces Lily that her restaurant won't open unless they solve the murder. Can Lily's questioning of the suspects and her daughter's internet searches uncover the motive for the murder and who the killer is?
It was unusual for the author to choice a male narrator when the main character is female but he managed to give each character there own voice making it easy to enjoy.
I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Enjoyable listen

I would never expect to be listening to a cosy mystery by this author and narrator combination but it worked somehow and it was really entertaining, completely different from everything else I have listened to by them.

I am looking forward to where this series leads.

It was fun and going to try the recipes at the end.

Murder on Liberty Bay

This first book in the Pacific Northwest Cozy Culinary Series from the pen of Dennis Shock is excellent, I've read most of Dennis's books and this is amongst the best. A host of interesting characters, a plot that has twists and turns galore and Jeff Moons narration all go to make this a must listen. Highly Recommended.
I was kindly given a copy of the book by the author and leave this honest review.

Entertaining.

A light, entertaining story, perfect for relaxing after a long day. I especially liked the relationship and banter between Lily and Judy. The book is pleasantly narrated by Jeff Moon.

A review copy of this book was sent to me by the author. All of the above opinions are my own.
