5 Stars

Influenced to Death is an engaging and well written cozy mystery. I look forward to the next mystery.

Irritating voices

I read the first book in the series and followed up with number two. Some of the voices used by the reader are incredibly irritating and are not in character with their descriptions. Most notably is Meadow, Antonia, as well as the officer, Janice. The word, constabulary, is used too frequently and is used incorrectly. It means an office of constables or police. As far as I can tell Janice is a one person office. The story is not terrible and I did finish it but I am not sure I will read the sequel.

Story okay but poor narration

I stuck with it only because the story was OK, but the narration was really hard to listen to.

Olivia returns to Lily Rock

An engaging story which dwells in the wild, wild west of social media influencers. I love amateur sleuth Olivia. She is daring, funny and perceptive. The narration was fun and great to listen to. I was sad it is over. Bring on book three!

He’ll hath no fury…

Great relationship and character development. Lots of teasing to get to th he murderer. Looking forward to the next book!
