Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Welcome to Sarah’s Eatery, where the food is to-die-for!

Escaping a dreadful marriage and an angry ex-husband, Kylie Berry moves to the small town of Camden Falls, Kentucky, to run her cousin’s café, Sarah’s Eatery. Only one problem: Kylie can’t cook to save her life, and the longtime chef walks out on Kylie’s first day. "Winters will have you giggling into your book!" A new home, new friends, and an unexpected series of murders - all par for the course as Kylie embarks on a new life and a series of culinary disasters... Books include: A Berry Deadly Welcome; A Berry Murderous Kitten; and A Berry Clever Corpse. This is a trio of humorous cozy mysteries featuring a strong female protagonist, some unusual friends and family, and mysteries that needs solving! The stories have no graphic gore, bad language or sex.

Praise for A.R. Winters:

"The perfect balance of being lighthearted, but still a serious page-turning mystery." - Jaycie D, Amazon.com "A fun cozy mystery with engaging and entertaining characters" - lq, Amazon.com "For fans of Janet Evanovich, Rhys Bowen and Jana DeLeon, this is a funny, clean mystery." - Clara B, Amazon.com A Berry Deadly Welcome When Rachel Summers, applicant for the position of new chef at the cafe, is found dead a few hours after eating Kylie's desserts, all fingers point to Kylie and her killer brownies. Could Kylie have made a major kitchen blunder and poisoned the woman? Did a bitter former employee tamper with her pantry? Or was there more to Rachel than the kind smile and eager-to-please attitude she sported at the interview? With the help of the few remaining café regulars, Kylie sets out on a journey to uncover the truth behind who killed Rachel Summers! A Berry Murderous Kitten When Cameron Caldwell, infamously bad waiter and known womanizer, is found dead on the doorstep of Sarah’s Eatery, new owner Kylie Berry yet again becomes the talk of the town. After very publically rejecting Cam’s amorous advances the day before his death, Zoey Jin, Kylie’s regular customer and fledgling best friend, becomes the prime suspect in his murder. To complicate matters, Zoey’s estranged ex, Max, breezes back into town to exonerate the woman he not long ago abandoned… A Berry Clever Corpse Kylie’s move to Camden Falls didn’t go quite as she expected: now she's got two hunky men fighting for her affections, more culinary mishaps on her café's Oops Board, and ex in-laws who won’t leave her alone. And, of course, there's the latest murder that Kylie gets drawn into: when local real estate bigshot “Mean Mike” Pratt is found dead in his office, accusations fly from every other storefront—in no small part because he owned them! Kylie’s hairdresser, Susie, is dragged into the accusation game as one of the many whose shops were owned by Mike. He and Susie were seen shouting in the street over a rent hike, and word travels fast in Camden Falls… While she learns the secrets of baking, Kylie, with best friend Zoey by her side, uncovers the secrets behind who really killed Mean Mike!

Great diner food!!!

I just loved the interactions between all the characters, even the murderers. First time reading this author and look forward to more series!!!

Entertaining if you can get past the computer reader.

These are well crafted stories with some funny parts. Obviously patterned after Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum series, they do work, but they don’t quite get to that level. The computer aided narration very much detracts from the storytelling and inserts some grammatical and word use age errors that may or may not actually be in the original work.

Get a knew voice actress

AR Winter is probably a good writer, however, the sing song way it was performed was distracting. Now that I know it was a “virtual voice” a lot is explained. 👎🏻

the main characters persistents

Enjoyed the adventures and friendships, had to get used to the AI voice though

Loved these books!

I loved these books. I really wish it wasn’t narrated by virtual voice because it didn’t do the books justice. Even though the narration left a lot to be desired, the books were so fun and entertaining. I will be listening to the rest of the series.
