These little cozy stories are entertaining enough and I appreciate the narrator differentiating the different characters. I thought she did a great job on the sheriff and Dottie and the rest of the characters. A couple of people commented that they didn't like the Southern accents. Prejudice much? Someone commented that you don't hear Southern accents in California 😆🙄. How ignorant is that? I started getting bored with Zion's mother's shenanigans. I mean come on, really? And her mother either didn't care or was oblivious to the fact that she was torturing her husband and daughter with her dumb antics. It bordered on ridiculous and made it seem like the author maybe kept having writer's block and couldn't think of anything else so she kept falling back on that storyline. I literally rolled my eyes every time Zions mother came up with a new ridiculous shenanigan. Also, Rebecca is so rude and annoying - how can she be Zion's best friend? But other than that, the stories are entertaining enough I suppose.

Good clean story. I love that the characters brought God into their decisions.

The only negative to the story is the drawn out storyline and the constant drawn out internal dialogue inside the main characters' heads. Had there been more honest communication between the two main characters, they would have saved themselves a lot of unnecessary heartache before reaching their happy ending. That's why I removed one star.

Reviewed: 05-13-24
It took FOREVER for the two main characters to get anywhere with each other and they were extremely immature for their age. I almost gave up on this audiobook but pressed on and finally finished listening to it. The narrator did an okay job with the female characters but not so much with the male characters - she made Griffith sound like an old man instead of a man in his twenties. You wouldn't be missing much if you skipped this book.

I absolutely loved this story! A good, clean mystery with romance weaved in. I really appreciate that there was no foul language or sex - so tired of authors shoving that down our throats. Foul language and sex were not needed to keep readers interested in this well written story. Also, the narrator did a wonderful job! I won't listen to an audiobook where the narrator doesn't do a great job of differentiating the characters' voices. Highly recommend this book.

Great story - entertaining and well written. Narrator did a wonderful job differentiating the characters, although she should work on making some of the male characters sound more masculine. I really appreciate how the author didn't shy away from mentioning God - very refreshing in today's culture. Could use more of that in my opinion. Can't wait to listen to the next installment!

Loved this cozy mystery! Can't wait to listen to the next story in this installment. I also liked the fact that it didn't shy away from Christian characters and included Christianity. For those who don't appreciate that and are bothered by it, there are thousands of other books that will cater to non-Christians, politically correct topics, or atheistic views, so if that's you, you may want to look elsewhere - this story is not for you. As for me, I highly enjoyed the story and the characters and I appreciate the fact that the author is able to weave a great story without having to rely on shoving sex, foul language, and politically correct characters and themes down our throats to keep us entertained. Very refreshing.

I figured out who the murderer was early on in the story. Nevertheless, it was still entertaining and the narrator did a great job in differentiating the characters, including a slight improvement on Jason's American accent. SPOILER ALERT- don't read any further to avoid a spoiler... I also predicted the sad ending of a particular character. Although sad, the particular (and predictable) storyline of this character was getting old in my opinion so I'm not completely & utterly heartbroken, although I would have preferred a different outcome, such as the author could've changed the character's outlook on life and written a different path for them, but it was not to be. Am looking forward to the next installment.
