#10 in Stacie Maroni Cozy Mystery is #1 with Me

#10 in Stacie Maroni Cozy Mystery is #1 with Me

While this is #10 in a series, it is a complete mystery that works as a stand alone. Our competent HR professional and amateur detective is kidnapped in the first few pages by thugs intent on murder. The mystery and twists unfold for a believable, enjoyable cozy mystery, complete with a lovable pooch and a light romantic subplot. Naomi Rose-Mock provides the perfect voice for our main character, Maroni; while adding in clearly distinct vocal profiles for other characters.

An Action-Packed Cozy Mystery

I enjoyed this tenth book in the series as much as the first nine books. I thought this story was high-octane from the opening paragraphs until the very end. It was one of those audiobooks which I listened to in one sitting as I was so captivated by it. I have liked Stacie throughout the series. I have liked her interactions with her man and her girlfriends. I have found instances of humor which added to my enjoyment of the story. I have enjoyed all of this author's stories, but this series continues to be my favorite of all her series. I enjoyed Naomi Rose-Mock's narration as her delivery gave a defining voice to the characters. I was gifted a copy of the audiobook. I have chosen, without financial gain, to leave this review which included my honest opinions regarding this story.

Wonderful character-driven cozy mystery series

This book is the 10th book in the Stacie Maroni mystery series by Christa Nardi. Stacie is the victim on a kidnapping and although she is found unharmed, she still is in danger. A coworker is later found dead and Stacie continues to get threatening messages. Luckily she can investigate with her friends at Foster’s Insurance to help her boyfriend Det. Michael O’Hare solve the murder and the other related crimes.
It has a thrilling start and continues to provide a lot of twists and turns for the reader to follow until the finish! I love the characters and how realistically they interact and have developed over the series. However, the books are easily read as standalone mysteries since there are no cliffhangers and relationships are sufficiently explained. The narration by Naomi Rose-Mock is outstanding. Her performance brings the characters and story to life. I received a free audiobook code for my honest review.
