A colorful cast if characters that I enjoyed meeting. Long time secrets held come to light. I enjoyed following along and was clueless ad to who done it until I was told. Smh- Milo has more charity in his heart than I would with Jen!!!! I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a great job bringing it to life.

5 stars to this humorous, highly clever mystery

Milo Rathkey gets embroiled in another adventure in D.B. Elrogg's latest humorous mystery, Missed the Murder Went to Yoga. A book club has gathered for its regular meeting when one member, a well-known blogger, falls dead of poisoning. The medical examiner figures out the poison by the victim's utterance of a single word as she lies dying: yellow. People who ingest wolfsbane, also known in its plant form as monk's hood, often see yellow, a fact noted by a nurse in their book group. Milo gets called on to consult in the case and gets away with getting shot at only once. But, being Milo Rathkey, he does so with humor and clever deductions.

This is the third book in the series, and I've really enjoyed all three. The back story to the book has a lot of curious details, giving the book a quirkiness that makes it a lot of fun. At the same time that the story contains many humorous details, it also contains clever logic that readers will find exciting. The individual characters show well-written dynamics and relate to each other in fun ways.

The audiobook, narrated by Tom Lennon, is so effective that it is well worth listening to instead of reading the book visually. Lennon has a voice that takes us to the era of Sam Spade and other noir detectives. Yet as you should know by now, this series is far from being typical noir. So the selection of Lennon for this narration has a fun irony to it.

I highly recommend that all mystery lovers check out the audiobook of Missed the Murder Went to Yoga. It entertains while keeping listeners focused on the exciting mystery. I give both the book and the audio performance five stars each.

Good Narration and Story

An interesting plot, to take a word, and build a case around it. Good plot to the end, that keep one guessing. Good narration by Tom added to the story. Given audio for my voluntary review and my honest opinion

Great Fun!

a good yarn.. kept me guessing. its so much fun to see how the mystery unfolds.. The descriptions make you able to visualize everything.

Milo’s adventures continue

Missed the Murder Went to Yoga (#3 Milo Rathkey series) by D.B. Elrogg is a wonderfully fun read. Milo is working as a police consultant on the murder of a despised former prosector turned author. Lots of side stories about the characters relationships, history and discoveries in the mansion which are very enjoyable too. The narration by Tom Lennon is outstanding. He brings the characters and story to life.

Not as good

I listen just to finish book.
Plot was not convincing and characters were vanilla.
