Could Have Been

This could have been a great series. The stories were interesting and cute. Granny was such a great character.
I just could not get past the narrator. Unfortunately, her voice made me want to sleep or cringe.
This book was given to me free for my voluntary unbiased review.

this book was given to me at my request for review

loved the whole thing. the narrator was really good, I couldn't stop listening to this book set.

Daisy sweet Daisy...

Daisy is, well, kind of annoying. Not in a horrid way but in a too stupid to live way. Tho that probably isn’t super accurate either. It’s just that I found myself thinking “what in the ever lovin crap are you thinking?” I know she’s doing the detective work and that is, in itself, a risky position. It’s not that it’s stupid unrealistic but it’s annoying. For instance, she just goes to these folks that she suspects are murderers homes and antagonizes them. I’m a pretty calm person but I’d probably slap her if given the chance if she did this kind of thing. I guess that’s where we get our story from is her doing these things that are somewhat ridiculous. Books are not horrid but that’s why I bumped the star down on story. Just the semi unbelievable parts. The rest works fine.

I was given a free review copy audio-book by the author courtesy of Audiobook Boom at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Book 5 Daisy McDare And The Deadly Rock Star Affair
Daisy is spending her vacation on a visit with her cousin, Addison, who she hasn’t seen in a while. Addison works for a very needy, has-been rock star, Blaze Billick, who won’t let her have the day off. Daisy ends up witnessing drama unfold at a party she attends to be with Addison while she works. After Addison gets accused of her boss’ murder later that night, Daisy has to go into full investigation mode to prove her cousin is innocent. There are many other suspects, but Addison was seen coming from Blaze’s mansion in the late hours of the night, so she is the prime suspect. This was a pretty good book that kept me guessing.

Book 6 Daisy McDare And The Deadly Restaurant Affair
Daisy McDare is on a new job with her interior design business. She takes on the task of remodeling an out-of-date restaurant, Tres Chic. The owner, Adam Dunning, is a cheapskate and wasn’t going to pay Daisy what the job would cost at first, but decided he needed an update if he was going to keep his restaurant in business. When Adam ends up stabbed in the back, Daisy decides to figure out who did it. This book is very much like the last book, different characters, similar plot, similar outcome. I do enjoy Daisy’s tenacity.

Book 7 Daisy McDare And The Deadly Secret Affair
Daisy is visiting her college friend, Chloe Wilson, who is having her book launch party in Vancouver. The party turned out to be a real snooze-fest, and Chloe ended up getting accused of her publisher’s death the next day. Daisy decided to solve this murder mystery. She went about things the same way she has in the past. I do enjoy her frequent mentions of cupcakes and chocolate, even though it makes me hungry.

Book 8 Daisy McDare And The Deadly Rival Affair
Daisy is back to solve another murder, this time of her neighbor and friend, Eric O’Doul. This one was a little less predictable than the last. It did still provide mentions of cupcakes and chocolate, which never gets too old for me!

Book 9 Daisy McDare And The Deadly Radio Affair
Daisy is working with Detective Crumple throughout most of this story. They need to figure out who murdered the program manager of the local radio show. There are plenty of suspects because he just fired all the DJs so he could save money. Lots of angry ex-employees have good motivation for murder. I actually found the night DJ description the funniest. I wouldn’t have minded getting to know his character some more.

Book 10 Daisy McDare And The Deadly Political Affair
Daisy finds herself in the thick of things trying to solve the mystery of Adam Mitchell’s death. He was running against the current Mayor (and jerk), so of course he is a suspect, among many others. Daisy may as well open her own private investigation firm. She sure has to solve a lot of murders.

Overall – the series is very quick and light.

Not for me.

I love cozy mysteries so when I saw this I thought I had to listen to it.
I have to admit that I was disappointed with it. I found the main female character to be a bit rough with some of the other characters and also the stories are repetitive there is no change in who the accused is (some sort of relation or friend to the main character) and how the MC discovers who did it.
As for the narrator, I would have liked a bit more emtion put into the story telling but she was OK, I did not mind listening to her.
Others might like it more then I did. Also if you listen to each of the stories at different times you might like them more then listening to them in one go.
