I can imagine this book turned into a movie. It has a great storyline, interesting characters, and all the threads are tied neatly together by the end. The narrator has good pronunciation and a pleasant voice.

The story was ok, but the self entitled, whiny attitude of the main character was unappealing. The narrator was horrible. Won't listen to next book in the series, even if it's free.

Love the quirky and witty characters, and will be downloading the next book in the series. (Aren't box sets wonderful?!)

wonderful series

Revisado: 10-23-22

Are you kidding?! 10 books for a couple credits! Jackpot! I thought the story or narration might be just OK, given the size of the set at that price, but the stories were really good and I kept going from one to the next. I wanted to find out what would happen next. And the narrator was fun to listen to, esp Adams (so familiar, lol). I highly recommend!

Ouch

Revisado: 09-03-22

This was my least favorite of Joe Grey mysteries so far, because of harshness of tone towards domestic abuse victims. It's good to bring awareness to violence and abuse, but this came across as unsympathetic. I know Wilma is tough, and situations are frustrating, but they are the victims. Also IMO, the plot on this one was too predictable. The previous stories were good and relaxing to listen to, so I will continue to the next book anyway.

want to see this series on tv

Cozy, fun mystery with interesting characters. These books by Carola Dunn would make a great TV series! Narrator has a nice soothing voice and does multiple characters well.

witty humor and interesting plot

Revisado: 06-13-22

I found the author to be a very good narrator. She portrayed snark and witty humor very well, and there were several times when I did literally lol.
The characters were realistic and complicated. I normally can guess "who did it", but there were a few good options in this story. It was also good to hear that although the main character is a genius, she has real flaws and self-doubts that we all have about ourselves. She really enjoys her food!
Finally, I thought the story was well written. It seems a lot of mysteries, especially in the cozy sub-genre, follow a similar formula. This story was a little more unique, at least to me. I really enjoyed it and look forward to more in this series.

subtle humor and great characters

Revisado: 06-13-22

Cathy has a great, subtle sense of humor - she seems like she would be a fun person to befriend at a dinner party. The plot wasn't as hard to guess as in the first book, but the characters were fully developed and story was seamlessly and creatively written. I hope to hear more from her soon.

The story is cute - dogs, drinks, & murder. BUT the main character is pretty weak and the narrator is a pretty bad robot impersonator.

I love AC's books, but not this book about AC

Revisado: 09-18-21

Couldn't finish - overly detailed, repetitive/stagnant storyline, & monotone, almost whiny reading.
I'll just stick to Agatha Christie's books!
