I wasn't expecting two senior citizens to be the heroins in this story. And it was a unique take on aliens and I was taken on a roller coaster ride. A grandmother's love is very strong and this would be a great movie!

I love that there was cast for the characters! Who the characters represent doesn't immediately stand out which was awesome and really built up the story.

Story
Samantha Barnes was always a foodie. And when the CIA (that’s the Culinary Institute of America) came calling, she happily traded in Cape Cod for the Big Apple. But then the rising young chef’s clash with another chef (her ex!) boils over and goes viral. So when Sam inherits a house on the Cape and lands a job writing restaurant reviews, it seems like the perfect pairing. What could go wrong? Well, as it turns out, a lot.

If you like murder mysteries with food recipe tips, this is the book for you. Also, if you love dogs, this book comes with a bonus...D.O.G. I liked the book so much that I'll be reading the next two in the series.

Story
Ignatius Perrish spent the night drunk and doing terrible things. He woke up the next morning with a thunderous hangover, a raging headache, and a pair of horns growing from his temples. At first Ig thought the horns were a hallucination, the product of a mind damaged by rage and grief. He had spent the last year in a lonely, private purgatory, following the death of his beloved, Merrin Williams, who was raped and murdered under inexplicable circumstances.

An ok story, good performance.
Reviewed: 12-23-22
I agree with some of the other listeners on a few points. It could have done without the male fantasy of men sexually abusing women in such a gory way. Pouring gasoline down the throat of an attractive woman? I was ok with spiritual or religious matter described, but objectifying women over and over gets old and becomes expected. I have yet to read a story where the woman tortures a man or fantasizes about it. No plot twist....and I don't think the appearance of the horns was ever addressed. I read a movie will be made, looking forward to that. I think this will make a great movie!

The author did a wonderful job of describing every moment of the story. I was able to immerse myself as though everything was happening in front of me.
This was also a great mystery that took place over years. Answers come at the very end.

Wanted more MORRIS DAY!
Reviewed: 11-23-22
Overall the book was great, learned things I didn't know about Morris Day, The Time and Prince. Better if MD narrated and wanted to hear more about Morris Day, not just Prince. Some liked how Prince was in the book talking but I could have done without it. Also, seems like there was a lot more to tell about MD's life.
