The Birthday Mystery

I'm so glad I tried this book! I couldn't stop listening to it. The book is well written and had a great narration job. I was interested in the book the whole time. I'm excited to listen to the wrest of the books in the series.

Interesting mystery

I started this book today and I couldn't stop listening. I really liked the story and the characters. I listened to the Audible book and it was very interesting.

Overall I give this book 4 stars because it was a

good listen but I give the story 3 stars because the killer was obvious pretty early on.

Very disappointed

The story was long winded and the narrator was flat.
Waste of a credit in my opinion

Entertaining, likable main character, ending twist

This was a pleasant easy-listen mystery. The main character is mostly likable, though it is strange how many references are made to her size and attractiveness. At the beginning this was kind of off-putting but it’s possible to overlook it later. There’s a twist at the end, but it is actually a little predictable. Still, a solid listen
