Reality isn't all it's cracked up to be.

A cozy mystery where not all "reality" is real. A so-called "reality" program is filming at the same campground that our sleuths have set up for the weekend. As usual, dead bodies pile up and Frannie and her friends are right in the middle of it all. Who would have guessed that? Join our mystery solving friends as they help determine who the "real" killer is. Narrated again by Michelle Babb, she does a great job with different tones and inflections for all the various characters. You know who is speaking without being distracted by it. Enjoy the latest outing of our fearless campers.

This is a short, fast paced cozy mystery that can be read in an evening curled up next to the fireplace. Make some hot chocolate and catch up on what our mystery solving group is up to for the holidays.

This was a great book that I found very interesting. I like geocaching and loved how it fit into the mystery. As usual, Frannie and her cohorts can't seem to go anywhere without stumbling upon a body. (Remind me never to go camping with them. 😁) The characters are relatable and likeable. We all have that one (or more) relative that occasionally seems to get on our last nerve. But we love them anyway. A fun book and a quick read. The narration was stellar and pleasant to listen to. Recommended to add to your cozy mystery to-be-read list.

A well written mystery!

I like any mystery that makes it difficult to figure out "who-dunnit" until late in the book. I liked the characters. They were fun and likeable. The humor was laugh inducing and well done. The narrator does a great job differentiating between characters and is pleasant to listen to. You'll enjoy this book!

I found the story to be very enjoyable. I could picture the campgrounds and the small town because they reminded me of places I used to camp several years ago. I had a hard time at first following the story. In the first 20 minutes or so, (audiobook version), you are introduced to two sisters and four couples. That's 10 character names, their occupations, plus a couple of pet names to try to sort out in quick order. At about 30 minutes into the audiobook, I ended up rewinding back to the beginning and starting over so I could sort out who was married to whom, their relationship to each other, and what was going on. That may just be a flaw in my brain, but I have a hard time when an author throws so many characters at the reader (listener) at the beginning of a book. From then on, it was a great book! (Also of note: this was my first book in this series, so I was unfamiliar with the recurring cast of characters.) The audio narration was well done with the narrator putting just enough different inflections in her voice to make it easy to follow as to which character was talking. Pleasant to listen to.

A fun read!

This is an absolutely fun read! (or in my case, a fun listen!) The story is what many would consider a "cozy mystery". It has mystery, intrigue, and twists and turns, but without any dark, graphic murder elements. Fun for the whole family. 😉 It's my first, but not my last, book by this author. The narration was spot on. Great voice character differentiation and a pleasant tone to listen to. I look forward to listening to or reading more by Elaine Macko.
Although this would be considered a "stand alone" novel, I'd love to see the other Alex Harris Mystery books make their way to audio.

Just a horrible waste of time and money...

It was a confusing, meandering story with little to recommend. Spend your time and money elswhere and you'll be better off.

This was a great collection of stories. I recently finished the first 5 Duck & Cover books, and this was a nice bonus with some funny back stories. I think my favorite character may be Fidget! Calvin the cat was pretty funny, also. Willie and Coy are idiots, but likeable ones. Benjamin Wallace, you HAVE to bring Calvin back. PLEASE!
