A pretty good book

I have loved the previous books in the series, so was pleased to see the very first book had made its way to audio. I loved starting at the beginning and finding out how Myrtle and Miles becomes the crime fighting dream team that they are. It is a great start to what has proved to be one of my favourite series, one that is always good for a laugh and is the type of book you can listen to in any order and listen to it again and again. What is even better most of the characters that I love are there right from the start. I also enjoyed the way Red thinks he is pulling the wool over Myrtle by sending her off on a wild goose chase so she doesn't get into trouble, guess how that turned out for him.
Myrtle Clover is board of crosswords they are far to easy, so when she finds a dead body she decides that by solving the murder before the police and more importantly her son the police chief it would prove once and for all that she still has what it takes and doesn't need to move into a retirement home. The problem is with so many people hating the bossy rich woman the Murtle needs a sidekick to watch her back. With her daughter in law fun ragged after a three year old, a French student that doesn't speak English, a Book club that wants to discuss murder instead of books and a husband that didn't get his morning coffee, Myrtle might just have to find help else where and before the killer starts an interest in her.
I like the narrator. The author has used several different narrator's while trying to find the right voice for Myrtle and I am glad she has decided on Judy Blue as she is perfect for the job.
