Lady Eleanor Swift’s marriage to dashing Chief Inspector Hugh Seldon is just days away. There’s a lot to organise from the dress to the catering, including, of course, the all-important wedding cake. But Eleanor is heartbroken when their chef, apple-cheeked Annie Tibetts, dies of poisoning. And as the doctor confirms her death wasn’t an accident, accusations fly around the whole community.

This has been my favorite book of all of the Lady Eleanor Swift books. The relationship between her and her house just gets me right in the feels. Karin Kass’s narration is amazing. I would listen to her read the phone book.

Nothing good ever comes from drinking a box of wine alone. So when I decided to entertain my drunken self by setting up some hand-me-down podcasting equipment and reading the steamy parts from romance novels, I never thought anyone would actually listen. The fact that I admitted my huge crush on my sexy next door neighbor made the whole thing even more mortifying. But sometimes life surprises you, and that’s how my podcast, Heidi’s Discount Erotica, was born. Now I, Heidi Larsen, a sweet former kindergarten teacher in Waconia, Minnesota, lead a scandalous double life.

I loved this book - LOL FUNNY

I loved this book! First of all Andy Arnt is an amazing narrator. She is funny and her timing is perfect and she nailed the Midwestern accent perfectly in this book. I’m happy to know that she helped write the book. That’s cool! Secondly, I listen to this book in my earbuds while I was getting my tires changed at a less Schwab. I was sitting at the table, laughing out loud like a lunatic. After some of the heavy books that I have been reading lately, this was a fabulous palate cleanser. Chase away all your blues. Enjoy the book!

Penelope is curvy, sassy, and my brother's fiancée's best friend. Totally forbidden fruit. But when she asks for dating lessons, I'm suddenly fumbling like a rookie. I thought love was supposed to hit like a linebacker—fast and hard. Instead, it's a slow burn that's got me breaking all my own rules.

I have liked this book series, but this book was a disappointment. I am all for body positivity, but wow, was there a lot of repetition in this book!!! it felt like every other sentence was a repeat of the sentence before it just written slightly differently. The performance was good, but the book was so hard to get through because it was just such a repetitive mess.

True honest relationships.
Reviewed: 07-11-24
This book was really honest. The relationships between all the characters were honest. It didn’t feel rived. It didn’t feel overly bright and happy. It excepted the ugly and the fear of being in relationships. Really beautiful.

Fun series!
Reviewed: 07-09-24
Having read all 10 books of the series so far, I really do enjoy it. The main issue that I have with the whole series is continuity and editing. In between one of the books and the very next book, there is a major continuity issue. Cassie at the end of one book discovers that emergency medicine is where her heart lies, but at the very beginning of the next book, she is unsure of emergency medicine. In addition to continuity issues like this, editing is a fairly major problem. Over and over and over the author states the same things said slightly differently. If the editor really knew what they were doing, they would have deleted one or two or three or more of these issues.
Also, another gripe I have is what happened to Cassie’s best friend the Australian doctor in training? She just flat out doesn’t exist in the last three books.
On the whole, however, these books are really fun. The characters are great, and each mystery is enjoyable.

The performer killed it for me. And not in a good way.
Reviewed: 12-25-23
I think the storyline was probably good, but the narrator was so punchy and exuberant that it ruined the book for me, she seemed to want to drive home, every word, and it just didn’t fit the feel of a mystery. I found myself enjoying some of the writing and character, but the narrator is so unenjoyable for me that I don’t want to continue with the series. I’m sad because I really love mystery series with strong, female character leads set in the 20s.

From the authors of the best-selling series "Cherringham". This compilation contains episodes 1-3. "A shot in the dark": Sussex, England, 1929. Mydworth is a sleepy English market town just 50 miles from London. But things are about to liven up there considerably, when young Sir Harry Mortimer returns home from his government posting in Cairo, with his unconventional American wife - Kat Reilly. "A little Night murder": A young poacher is found shot dead in the woods of a grand estate near Mydworth. A sad accident it would seem.
