I had two guesses for whodunnit and, as would be hoped, figured it out shortly before Juni did. I actually finished this on a mini road trip that I took specifically so I could listen to audiobook (and so I could see a bookstore that I missed on the bookstore crawl I did earlier this year)....more

It was cute and quick and I have book 3 that I picked up on a whim so I'll probably read the other 2 books soon enough....more

I found it more tedious to listen to at times. I wanted to listen faster but the narrator was harder to understand at anything faster than 1.0 (for me, anyway). This one was fine when the story was moving but there was a lot of meandering and whinging. But I mean a baby dragon...I want one....more

I figured out reasonably early who was involved and some of the motivation but I didn't figure it all out until "Andy" explained it. I enjoyed listening to this one so much that I even finished the book at the gym, a thing I rarely do (too many distractions there)....more

Luckily, this one isn't a murder, but a mystery of how an alarm at a jewelry store keeps getting tripped. It was cute and short and takes place during a heatwave...much like the one currently gripping a good portion of the US....more

Bummed (but relieved in some ways) that there aren't any more of the books after this one in audio. A creepy dude is taking pictures of the new employee...and Emily. Then a local girl is murdered and the photographer does his best to frame Em. Luckily she and Brent Fyne are on the case and naturally they solve it....more

CompleAnother book I read while at the beach, I liked this better than book 1 in the series and I suspect that I'll end up reading the entire series. Completionism for the win. A bride loses her husband on her wedding day, at the reception. Emily's delicious treats are blamed, so naturally she has to figure it out to defend her good name. Naturally she figures it out and the murderer is eventually nabbed, not without some close calls for Emily. The close calls also extend to her love life, with detective Brent Fyne being into her......more

Liz Denton runs a pet rescue, particularly for "unadoptable" pets. She goes to pick up a pomeranian from an old man who will be moving to an assisted care facility, but her rival is also there. Shortly thereafter, the man is murdered and her son is implicated.
This followed a predictable cozy mystery schema but it was quick and fun. And I have the sequel so I'll read that soon enough, too....more

The book is a I picked up the book because it had a cat in a ramen bowl on the cover. I expected a cozy fantasy but it was more like general fiction. The book is a series of vignettes of people coming to a non-descript restaurant in the hopes of having dishes recreated for them. I liked it well enough I guess. It is true that food memories can be tied up in so much else…...more

Cute enough though the end felt rushed. I think I’ll read (or listen to) the next in the series and see if I want to continue after that.

I don't know if it was because there were so many new (non-regular) characters or if it was because I just wasn't in the right mindset. I figured out whodunnit pretty early in the book. I enjoyed it, but not as much as others. I listened to this mostly in audio, I wonder if that hampered my enjoyment. Oh well, I've already preordered the next book so it's not like I won't continue......more

I spent basically every free minute reading/listening which is more than I've devoted for other books lately. I found that with the audiobook, at 1.0 the narrator was too slow but at 1.1, they were nearly perfect. As far as the story, I enjoyed it, more so once it got to the trials. The book kept me guessing at little details more or less until the end....more
