Enjoyable

I received a free copy of All I Wanted Was a Drink by Michelle Ann Hollstein, and narrated by Eliza Anders in exchange for an unbiased review. This is a rapid moving fun holiday murder mystery that Eliza Anders kept flowing at a very good pace. It's the kind of story I will listen to year after year, and I look forward to enjoying more of her work.

Aggie strikes again!

Another great addition to the Aggie Underhill Mystery series. This time, Aggie is on a plane with her friend, Betty, on the way to Las Vegas for some post-Christmas fun. As usual, our heroine becomes involved in a mystery and has to try to figure out whodunit.

The author does a great job with this short story and her dialogue and descriptions once again had me laughing. Aggie is the perfect nosey cozy mystery character and she always seems to be able to find out the truth. I love the descriptions of the people in this story and I could picture them in my mind as I listened to the story.

The narrator is just right for this story and really keeps the listener's interest. I was given the chance to listen to this book by the author and chose to review it.

Well written and interesting

I enjoyed this story of murder on a flight and would happily read this author again. Her writing is witty and warm and definitely gives an authentic feel to its characters. However... the narration is sometimes awkward. It would be nice if it were slightly more fluid, there are moments when it feels like she's reading and struggling to keep up with the pace. It's OK to breathe. The asking price seems like good value to me. Note: I solicited and received a free copy of this book for review purposes. I was not paid for this opinion and it is my own.

A great way to spend a hour.

Aggie and Betty hop a plane for a girls weekend in Vegas, but before they can get the fun started an incident happens on the plane that sparks Aggie's inner detective to solve a crime. I like the mystery, humor and narration of these books. Aggie feels like a cross between Mama on Mama's Family and Angela Lansbury on Murder She Wrote. Never a dull moment with this quick witted character. I highly recommend this and all Aggie Underhill stories. I was given a free copy of this book at my request and have voluntarily decided to leave this review.

A fun short mystery!

I loved this short mystery! It always gets me how Aggie's luck at being "in the right spot at the right time" in order to figure out and put all the clues together! She reminds me of Sherlock Holmes with how intuitive and observant she is!

Short but entertaining...:)

It's my first meeting with Aggie and I have to tell you she makes a very good first impression;)
The story is very short so there's not much room for character development but from those few short chapters I have a pretty good idea of what kind of person Aggie is and how her mind works... The plot is fairly simple - a murder on board a plane, with just a few clues to go on, but it develops smoothly and logically. There's also quite a bit of humour in the story - Aggie seems to have a healthy distance to herself:)

Narration by Ms Anders is very good, voices well done, and the interpretation of the book perfect.

I'll definitely look for more of AggieUnderhill:)

Mystery in the clouds

Aggie and her friend Betty just wanted to get away but as always they end up smack in the middle of a mystery. I loved the authors descriptive language when describing the other passengers. The book is quirky with a touch of sarcastic wit mixed with charm. The narrator was absolutely amazing. The book is well written and fast paced. The storyline was excellent and easy to follow.
