A Sugarbury Falls Mystery Collection books 1-3

By: Diane Weiner

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

A dead biker. A missing aspiring writer. A life changing decision. In the first in the series, A Deadly Course, married couple Emily and Henry Fox move to Vermont seeking covered bridges and antique shops but instead find themselves knee deep in a murder investigation. Can the sleuthing doctor and true crime writer use their skills to bring peace back to Sugarbury Falls?

Murder of Course is the second clever cozy in the Sugarbury Falls Mystery series set in Vermont. A midnight knock by their neighbor stirs Henry and Emily into action. Who is the mystery dead girl on the rental cabin floor? Can they help solve the crime before the murderer strikes again?

In book 3, Clearing the Course, the Fox family returns from vacation to discover the town mourning the death of a college student. When their daughter’s friend is accused of the murder, married sleuths Henry and Emily Fox set out to prove his innocence, but the more they dig, the more doubts they have. Can they clear the tangled course of the investigation and find the truth before it’s too late?

Great Story

love the storyline but the voice simulator is awful. consider a different one next time. Also in this day and age somelines the negative racial slurs are are uncalled for and waaaay out of place in these story lones.

Good stories

The computer narration was hard to listen to. Hard to tell who was speaking at times.

AI missed correct pronouncetionn

The three storylines were all confusing the way they were read. I would not recommend these stories.

This would have been so much better if read by a human.

This is the 8th book I’ve tried with virtual voice, and it will be the last. The lack of emotion is off putting and the mispronunciations drive me nuts! Hearing the word ‘read’ pronounced as ‘reed’ instead of ’red’ throws everything off. And they can’t get the virtual to recognize common abbreviations like OR, so someone is rushed to the ‘or’ instead of to the O R. Someone dials ‘nine eleven’ instead of 9 1 1. Lack of inflection and pauses in strange places throw off the meaning of a sentence and you have to rewind and listen again.

Seemed like descent stories but I’ll have to see if I can borrow paper copes from the library.

Good Story, Bad Performance

I really liked the story but really don't like virtual voice. The voice was perky, which is a positive, but not when it is the same for the entire story not matter the situation or who is speaking. The lack of voice tone and change of voice sometimes made it hard to tell who was talking and sometimes caused confusion. Words were sometimes mispronounced or mashed together and things that didn't need to be voiced were causing further confusion. The story itself was good though and would definitely recommend if reading it.
