I disliked the AI voice. Very mechanical and not natural.

The story line was fine but I disliked the mechanical tone to the automated voice.

I enjoy this series so much. It's so different from many of the cozy series available with the realtor theme. I hope the author continues the great start!

Great story line!

I really enjoyed this cozy mystery. The story line was very original and not the same basic plot as many other mysteries. The realtor heroine is a different take from a baker or inn keeper. I will definitely look for this author in the future!

Story
Six chefs are preparing to compete in an outdoor tent at Storyton Hall for prizes that will boost their careers - but is there someone who can't stand the heat? It looks that way when one of the contestants is found dead in a pantry packed with two centuries' worth of cookbooks, among other treasures and rarities. Could there be a connection to other recent events in town, like tampering with the costume of a local mascot? Jane isn't sure, but after someone serves a second course of murder, the kitchen must be closed and the killer must be found.

Story
Bellissimo Resort and Casino Super Spy Davis Way knows three things: Cooking isn’t a prerequisite for a happy marriage, don’t trust men who look like David Hasselhoff, and money doesn’t grow on Christmas trees. None of which help when a storm hits the Gulf a week before the most anticipated event in Bellissimo history: the Strike It Rich Sweepstakes. Securing the guests, staff, and property might take a stray bullet. Or two.
