Resumen del Editor

Welcome to Waterfell Tweed, where things aren't as cozy as they seem....

Sandy Shaw was happy with her life running the village cafe and bookstore, until a series of murders in the sleepy village cause everyone to second-guess just how peaceful things are.

Join Sandy as she sets out to solve the killings, and get peace restored, in this box set collection of the first three books in the Waterfell Tweed Cozy Mystery Series.

This box set includes Once upon a Crime, A Tale of Two Bodies, and A Valentine's Kill.

Each novella is a cozy mystery, meaning they are safe from swearing, sex, violence, and cliffhangers. Each audiobook can be listened as a stand-alone, but the series is best enjoyed if listened in order.

Waterfell tweed box set 1

The series kept me entertain. Throughly enjoyed how the story flowed from the first book into the second then the third book. Can not wait to begin the next set.. love narrative by N. Nagle.

was interesting books about a book shop and cafe owner solving murders, and finding love. narrator did a good job. enjoyed these books.

Entertaining, great mystery

I thoroughly enjoyed book one in this collection. Once Upon a Crime is a very entertaining and great mystery. The first book introduces us to Sandy Shaw and the village of Waterfell Tweed. Sandy has set up a wonderful book and bakery that you will make you wish you were there. The villagers are an interesting and colorful bunch. But as in all quiet English villages, someone is found murdered. Sandy seems to be a suspect and the local police seem anxious to pin it on her and be done with it. So it looks like it is up to her to discover "who dunnit". Surprise ending.

The narrator is very good, able to change up her voice between characters and speaks a good, natural pace.

On to book two!

Easy listening

Very simple and easy listening. No violence. Enjoyed it enough to get the next set of Waterfell Tweed Cozy Mysteries.

One of the Best Cozy Mysteries

These are some of the best cozy mysteries I have listened to in a while. It is also great when you can get several books for one credit.

Each of the mysteries was completely unique and distinct. While they were cozy, I didn't think they were too cozy, which made the listen unique. I didn't always figure out who the murdered was until I was told which was also great. My ony "complaint," which is not the end of the world, is I would like to see more characters return. I love the setting and the characters. I would easily visit Waterfall Tweed in the future.

Nano Nagle did a great job with the narration. Her voices were distinct.

Light, Clean and Entertaining

I received this book for free. I am voluntarily leaving this review and all opinions expressed herein are mine.

Here, the first three titles of this series are presented together. Each one is a quick read and a standalone story.
Book 1: Once Upon a Crime
Sandy owns a bookshop/cafe in town. Reginald announces that he is opening a bookshop right near Sandy's store. Soon thereafter, Reginald is found murdered and Sandy is implicated. Sandy starts to investigate to get herself out of this mess.

Book 2: Tale of Two Bodies
A homeless man is killed in what appears to be a hit and run. Soon thereafter, one of Sandy's employees is severely hurt in the same manner and the police appear to be blaming the wrong suspect. Sandy gets involved to clear her landlord's name.

Book 3: A Valentine's Kill
Dick Jacobs, the health inspector, has come to town and he has a reputation for shutting down businesses for violations. He's already shut down one business and has his sights set on Sandy's Cafe. But, before he can begin the inspeion, he is found murdered. Sandy begins to investigate and begins to suspect Tom, her possible romantic interest.

Each of these cozies is very clean - no swearing and no sex.

I enjoyed the characters in these cozies - Sandy, her sister Cassie and her BF. There's lots of small village gossip, running the shop and you kind of feel like your part of the small town life. The mysteries, to me, seemed a little thin and Sandy seemed to solve them out of the blue - suddenly she'd say, "I know who did it." But, that didn't really bother me as I enjoyed the characters and the small town feel.

The narrator did a very good job. She was clear, held a good pace and conveyed the personalities of each of the characters very well.

Waterfell Tweed

If you love a good cozy mystery, this is the series for you! It’s delightful.

Story Okay, Narration Great.

The authors writing in and of itself was good, but the story just wasn't intriguing to me. I found Sally and other characters hard to relate to and it just wasn't very captivating. I think it had potential to be really cute, just was missing something.

I really liked the narrator and thought they gave a really good crisp and clear performance. I would be interested in listening to another audiobook they narrate.

Oh so cozy

I just want to live in Waterfell Tweed and get a cake from Books and Bakes. These books are so warm and cozy. Perfect for a rainy day!

Very relaxing and... addictive:)

It's 4.5 rounded up to 5 stars for the story, really...

This is a very enjoyable, relaxing and addictive box set of cozy mysteries set in an English village of Waterfell Tweed... And - which for me is a big thumb up - while listening I had a feeling of stepping into the worlds of Agatha Christie and Midsomer Murders - though with a bit less violence than those two usually contained:)

The first book in the series introduces us to a whole set of colourful individuals, and though each of the books is a standalone when it comes to the criminal plot, they should, I feel, be read/listened to in order for there is continuation when it comes to the personal lives of the characters - and these small bits and pieces make for an interesting part of the story, too:)

All the books are equally good, with crimes of passion rather than cold-blooded murders and solutions that surprise the reader... That's the only small fault of the books, really; I feel there are too few clues on the way to the end and the fact that Sandy kind of solves the crimes out of the blue... or maybe it's that I just concentrated too much on the personal forgetting to pay attention to the criminal...:) But all in all, it's a fantastic set for all cozy mystery lovers:)

Narration by Ms Nagle is very good, too. She's a new narrator for me, but I like her interpretation a lot. She does vary voices enough for me to easily follow the dialogues but she doesn't overdo them, especially the male ones. She reads at a good pace and conveys the emotions and the personalities of the characters very well. All in all, a great interpretation of the series.
