Resumen del Editor

Fakes, folk music, and ghost fires.

When legendary folk singer Lara Fairplay agrees to make her comeback debut at Pirate’s Cove’s annual maritime music festival, everyone in the quaint seaside village is delighted—including mystery bookstore owner and sometimes amateur sleuth, Ellery Page.

Better yet, Lara is scheduled to perform a recently discovered piece of music attributed to “The Father of American Music,” Stephen Foster, which will hopefully bring large crowds and a lot of business.

Several mysterious accidents later, Ellery is less delighted as his suspicion grows that someone plans to silence the celebrity songbird forever.

Good story. Good narration.

Another entertaining mystery in the Secrets and Scrabble series. Once again there is a bit of tension between Jack and Ellery when Ellery gets involved in another mystery. I like the up and down dynamic between Jack and Ellery. It is a nice change of pace to read about the long term development of a relationship that one-book romances don't have a chance to create. Looking forward to listening to Matt Haynes narrate the next mystery that Ellery will be asked to solve.

Yes!! Kept me captivated from beginning to end.

This is one of my favorite series! Enjoyed every book in the series so far. The narrating is great as well.

Loved this entire series!

This entire series held my attention. The reader never knows what kind of trouble will happen with the next book. Skillfully written and narrated.

Finally!!

When Book 7 arrived in the Audible store before Book 6, I got very impatient, lol. So I was ecstatic when Book 6 showed up! Now I can listen to both 6 and 7 back to back. I could listen to these books all day long, every day. Narrator does such a great job, and I feel like I'm listening to a gay version of Murder, She Wrote. I still think my favorite character is Nora, but all of them are great. If you haven't started this series, I highly recommend it!

A who dunit

As always a great cozy mystery and wonderful Narratotion by Matt Haynes ! Ellery Page is back on the case

Great characters and mystery

I love Ellery, he's smart, sweet, and charming. His supporting cast are great as well, Nora and the elderly sleuthing group. Lots of interesting people and a fun setting with the pirate island. Plus there's Watson, who is adorable! The only problem is the 'romantic interest,' Jack, who is an outright asshole, especially in this book. How could he possibly have grounds to arrest Dyland in less than 24 hours. There is No Way there could have been a proper autopsy and forensic results that quickly. There could not have been enough evidence and there was no attempt at an investigation. It's unbelievable and Ellery should NOT have forgiven Jack so quickly or felt any guilt about holding him to account. Jack is consistently unlikeable and there's not enough chemistry or to believe their romance in any of the books. Jack just is not a nice person. Ellery deserves better. But otherwise, I really enjoy these Cosy mysteries. As mysteries with charming and eccentric characters in a delightful setting, these are excellent.

Huh? What?

I love this series. This book felt like an outlier. It felt like it was written out of order. The story was not that exciting and the author closed a mystery she opened in the first book in an incredibly dissatisfying way almost like she got bored with it and just decided to be done.

Not the best in the series. Could be skipped.

As always the voice performance is spectacular.
