The Magnolia Manor Mysteries, The Complete Series, Books 1 - 10

An Addictively Suspenseful Small Town Cozy Murder Mystery Series

By: Joy Patrick

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Solving crimes at a crusty old Florida inn was NOT in Lilly Livingston's 5-year plan.

But when she discovers she's the executor of her forgotten stepfather's will and inherits Magnolia Manor, things get a little off track...

Despite local law enforcement's warnings to mind her own business, Lilly refuses to back down when things don't add up. And when it comes to murders in sleepy Drifter's Cove—and even Magnolia Manor itself—this amateur sleuth has an uncanny knack for finding both trouble AND answers.

Join Lilly alongside her quirky gang as she continues to unravel scandalous town secrets, crack cold cases, and come face to face with murderous villains lurking in the shadows of small-town paradise.

Ten books. Ten cryptic cases. One sassy sleuth's relentless pursuit of the truth.

fantastic story lines! never repetitive.

I enjoy this writer very much. Some complain about AI reading yet this is another reason to like them. As a person on social security this is the only way I can listen all 3 want. I get use to figuring out what the reading is saying. It's not that difficult

wish theses had been read by a real person

I really enjoyed the short stories (maybe a little too short). was not a fan of the generated voice.

AI took away from the story enjoyment

Words were not pronounced correctly, you couldn’t tell if it was a man or woman speaking in the story and really took away from the enjoyment of stories. In the future, I will be sure to make sure it is not an AI book again. In my opinion, AI could never replace voice actor.

Avoid virtual voice at all costs!

Virtual voice was amazingly inadequate. Tonal inflections were weirdly inappropriate and somewhat monotonous. All the voices sounded identical. Made what was probably a really good cozy mystery hard to listen to. The stories and characters were good, it was just hard to get past the narration.

Great story but don't care for the virtual voice

I loved the series, but if the books were read by a human it would be so much better.
