A Murder in Milburn

A Culinary Cozy Mystery Box Set with Recipes

By: Nancy McGovern

Narrated by: Renee Brame

All six of Nancy McGovern's popular Culinary Cozy Mystery books are finally together in a single bundle...with six delicious recipes!

Nora Newberry has been working to make her dreams come true and finally, after 10 years, it's time! She's moved back to her hometown of Milburn, Wyoming, and, together with her lifelong best friend, Raquel Madden, is opening the diner they've been planning since high school. Life couldn't be better...and it's time to celebrate!

Sadly, the celebration doesn't last long. Just three days before the diner is set to open its doors, Raquel is found murdered. And with no clear motive and little cooperation from the townspeople, Nora is thrown into a murder investigation that just may cause her to lose her own life.

This was a great series of books

I had never heard of this series before but wanted something for when I go on my walks every night that would last a while. When I saw how long this was and that it was only 1 credit I figured I would give it a shot and am glad I did. I may have to see if there are more of this series out there.

good story

the stories were just what I like in a cozy mystery. I did struggle with the narrator, lots of repeated lines.

Enjoyed these stories

The only thing I noticed in several books was the repeat of sentences. I enjoyed the author and narrator.

Review

Loved it! Nora and Harvey had quite a journey on their way to love. I especially loved how Nora's mind worked as she solved the murders.

Has potential but...

1. These stories have potential to be light-hearted and fun which is just what we need sometimes and you can see a steady improvement in character development and cohesiveness as you progress from books 1-6.
2. There are many errors in the books which need to be fixed: the dog Maynard is referred to as a Siberian husky/Labrador retriever in the first book but thereafter is described as a Golden retriever. The ending to book 2 is not given. It ends with a character threatening to walk away. It isn't until the start of book 3 that there is a brief reference to that character having committed the crime in book 2. No why, when or how.
3. Technical errors: these include referring to the wrong character, using the wrong pronouns, volume unstable, echoes in the background, and repeated phrases, words, or sentences.

This was an odd experience. I think the set should be cleaned up and sent to anyone who bought this version.
