Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing.I received this audible book from the publisher via a LibraryThing Early Reviewers giveaway.
This was my first book in the Silver Sisters mystery sisters by Morgan St. James and Phyllice Bradner, so I wasn't sure what to expect. It's a cozy mystery which takes place in Portland, OR - which is close to home - so that was fun to hear names of streets and neighborhoods and restaurants that I recognized.
The first half of the book (or so) tells us about Chili Pepper who was offered a new restaurant position in Portland. The murder doesn't happen until a ways into the book, so I spent a lot of time trying to figure out who it would be. After the murder occurs, the two Silver Sisters show up and take over the second half of the book. I found the book entertaining and loved the play on words throughout. I'm not much of a cozy mystery fan, so I may not be the best judge of the book. If you are a cozy mystery fan, I'm sure you'll enjoy this book. (I've seen a lot 5 star reviews.)
It was read by Kathleen Bond and runs just a little over 6 hours.… (plus d'informations)

Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing.I chose to listen to this book after receiving a free audio copy from the author through Librarything. All opinions in this review are my own and completely unbiased.
Mack Peters goes to Watson Falls to find a friend’s sister, Greta, who is a reporter. Greta went to look for her godson, Tony, and it turns out that she was undercover. She and Mack meet a couple of times while they both try to figure out what’s going on in Watson Falls. What they find is more shocking than they imagined.
The characters could have been more developed which would have made the story more suspenseful. There was a surprise at the end about two people who were interested in each other, but I had no clue. If they had shown interest in each other during the story, that would have made it more interesting.
The narrator was great. His timing and pace were perfect, and his voice is an enjoyable one to listen to.
I did like ending, and I would listen to Watson Falls again or read another Mack Peters book even though I think this could have been an outstanding book with some tweaking.… (plus d'informations)

Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing.I received a copy of this audiobook free in exchange for an honest review. As this is a mystery, I will be leaving a spoiler free review.
I enjoyed this book. The plot was good and it had a very interesting premise. It was a tad formulaic in parts and could be a bit predictable at times, but overall it was a very solid read. I'm looking forward to what the author can do with this series as it continues. I do hope that there is some more depth added to the characters in future installments as they have great potential to be more than they currently are.… (plus d'informations)
