Mystery Magnet

The Last Picks, Book 1

De: Gregory Ashe

Narrado por: Andrew Gibson

He was born to write mysteries. Now, he has to solve them.

When Dashiell Dawson Dane moves across the country to a small seaside town called Hastings Rock, he has one goal: get away from his ex. Okay, two goals - because he wouldn't mind a little help from his new boss, celebrity mystery author Vivienne Carver. With Vivienne's mentorship, Dash is sure he can get over this blasted case of writer's block and start telling his own stories again.

The only problem? Vivienne is murdered on Dash's first night at Hemlock House. And when police find a secret passage that connects Dash's bedroom to Vivienne's, they're sure they know who did it. Now Dash has to prove his innocence - and the only way to do that is to figure out who really killed Vivienne Carver.

Mystery Magnet

Mystery Magnet by Gregory Ashe
The Last Picks series #1.
Murder mystery. LGBTQ M-M romance.
Dashiell Dawson Dane moved to the small seaside town Hastings Rock where he promptly got a ticket. A wonderful start getting away from his ex, his parents, and hopefully outrunning his writer’s block. Working for the famous crime writer, Vivienne Carter, should get his creative jump started. It does, but not quite in the way he expected.
Vivienne Carter has been killed and Dash is the prime suspect.

🎧 I listened to an audiobook performed by Andrew Gibson. The performance is wonderful and mostly amusing with creative voices for the various characters and emotions that are clear.
As usual, I listened at and above 1.5 to match local conversational speed.

Poor Dash. Thrown into a mystery he’s definitely not prepared for. At least Detective Bobby is helpful even if he does like to write tickets.
Cozy, slow burn mystery with fun characters on the Last Picks team.
Enjoyed and look forward to reading more of this series when I can.

Cozy mystery

Who knew I would enjoy a cozy. No cussing; no sexy times - at least on page. And what a departure from Gregory Ashe's normal story telling. He did an amazing job of adapting the rules of a cozy while still delivering a great mystery, well thought out characters, and enough angst to keep you going. Andrew Gibson is a new to me narrator. I thought he did a relatively good job at bringing the characters to life. Looking forward to being on this multi-book adventure.

Cozy up with this delightful audiobook!!

This is the first book in a new cozy mystery series by the fabulous author Gregory Ashe. This is the perfect blend of charm, intrigue, and small-town secrets. I loved reading the book, but I always find that a great narrator brings the characters alive and that's what Andrew Gibson does. The Last Picks are characters that I would absolutely fit in with IRL :) It is a captivating start to what promises to be a delightful series. I was kept guessing to the VERY END. I can't wait to hear book #2 Dude Magnet -the narrator's voice makes it hard to hit pause. Please keep them coming, Gregory Ashe!!!

An enjoyable mystery with fun characters

This was different to what I originally expected from this particular author, but it kept me entertained and intrigued all the way through. I've always been a sucker for a good mystery and this series is off to a great start.
I'm familiar with this narrator, and his voice and style are an excellent fit for what seems set to be a promising series.
I'm going to go listen to book 2. Hoping book 3 comes out soon, and the narrator has assured me that he is set to be recording book 4. *Does happy dance*

Love this new series

I have to say, I was worried about this series. I'm not a fan of this authors style of writing normally. The super heavy drama, torture souls is too much for me. But after ready the reviews I decided to try.
And I'm glad I did.
This is completely different from the normal affair.

Dash is running away from a life that is just not working and has found, what he thought was going to be a perfect start to a new life.

Along the way, he finds friends, a new home, and a crush on a unattainable man.

This narrator is new to me, and I highly enjoyed the tale told through the narration.
