Narrated by: Virtual Voice

A binge-worthy box set of The Poppy James Cozy Mystery Series. Perfect for readers who like their murders clean and their coffee strong.

Caffeine and a Corpse
Book-loving café owner Poppy James just wanted to perfect her latte art—until a body turns up and her café becomes ground zero for gossip and danger. With her beagle, Midsip, and a pair of meddling best friends, Poppy follows a trail of small-town secrets to unmask a killer hiding in plain sight. Cozy charm meets quick wit in this series opener.

Nightblooms and a Burial
When a midnight garden reveals more than moonlit roses, Poppy stumbles onto a murder tied to buried grudges and a missing heirloom. Every clue pulls her deeper into Willowbrook’s past, where jealousies bloom as fiercely as the flowers. To protect those she loves, she’ll have to prune the truth from a tangle of lies.

Killer Crust
The town festival should’ve been all spice and sunshine—until Etta May, Willowbrook’s favorite baker, turns up dead. As suspects stack like pastry boxes, Poppy races to separate petty rivalries from a murder baked with intent.

Whistlestop Murder
A ghostly train whistle and a body by the old tracks send Willowbrook into a panic—and Poppy onto a collision course with a decades-old cover-up. Secrets echo through abandoned tunnels and town legends, forcing her to race the clock before the killer strikes again. History never stays buried when murder is on the line.

not as good as I had hoped

I felt the author used a lot of the same words over and over again. I believe it made it worse that AI was voicing the story; it did not give proper annunciation or pauses which lacked credibility for the story.
