Intriguing mystery!

Julia, a news reporter, resides in Utah. After covering devastating flooding, she finds numerous dead fish which seemed suspicious. It turns out they died from cyanide! Julia and her husband investigate the mystery! A lovely story with strong characters. Nicely read by the narrator. As with all of Linda Weaver Clarke's books, there are also some interesting historical facts. This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

So interesting and intriguing

This is a relatively new author to me and although the narrator Carolyn Kashner is new to me; she did a good job with all the voices which made for an enjoyable listen.

This was a a book filled with secrets and lies. It was also full of interesting history and romance which I found captivating The intrigue and mystery, not to mention the danger kept me on the edge of my seat as I listened to this story.

I liked the main characters of John and Julia Evans, their dynamic worked well together. There were many twists, turns and surprises in Anasazi Intrigue as Julia and John follow the clues and I have to say that I was taken by surprise on a couple of occasions.

Fun mystery

Anasazi Intrigue is a fun, clean mystery with tons of facts about the area woven into the storyline. The characters are interesting and the story held my attention from the beginning. The narrator did a nice job in her performance.

Enjoyable Cozy

I received this book for free. I am voluntarily leaving this review and all opinions expressed herein are mine.

This is the first book in the Adventures of John and Julia. John is a historian and Julia is a reporter for the local paper. Julia is looking for a story and after discovering some dead fish after a flood, she also learns some cats have suddenly died. She sends the fish off for testing and learns they died from cyanide poisoning. Now she believes she is on to something and begins to investigate in earnest - which causes someone to try to get her to stop.

John and Julia are a cutesy couple - married for decades and still mad about each other. At times I did not understamd that if this was their relationship, why Julia would keep secrets from him - although she does rectify that eventually. I liked the historical aspects of this mystery and learning about the Anasazi Indians. Overall, it was an enjoyable and interesting read.

The narration, for me, fell flat especially during what should have been highly tense moments. The dialogue, as read by the narrator, often seemed very stiff and the male character voices were just not very good. However, she read clearly.

Adventurous

Another well written story featuring historical facts, culture, and descriptive detail by this author. She always finds a way to incorporate neat facts about the towns or cultures in her stories. I thought John and Julia were a cute and comical couple and had admirable qualities. The plot is somewhat suspenseful as John and Julia find themselves in dangerous situations as a result of their investigations. It was interesting to see how the author brings all the pieces together in this adventurous tale.

I thought the narrator gave a great performance, as usual. I think this narrator is perfect for this author's writing style and they are a well matched duo.

I received a review copy at my request and have voluntarily left this unbiased review.

Anasazi Intrigue

It is very hard to review this book.After a good start,it was very slow going.The story and narration was so slow I sped timing up to 1.25 to listen to a lot of it. Julia,a reporter gets into trouble by finding dead fish and having them analyzed.She is married to John and they are a cutsey couple,even though they have grown children.With archeology going on,there didn't seem to be a lot of it in the book. Narration by Carolyn Kashner was good. I was given this book by the narrator,author or publisher free for an honest review.

Longer Cozy Mystery

This book reminds me of a cozy mystery wrapped into a much longer mystery novel. There is a lot of sweetness and the descriptions are a bit excessive at times. I am not typically a fan of the cozy mystery myself and I did feel that the beginning of the book was a bit disjointed with jumps in the timeline. However, if you are a cozy mystery fan that never feels they are long enough for you, this is certainly a book for you.

That being said there is a very intriguing mystery that takes a lot of twists and turns to keep the reader interested and engaged in the lives of the Evans.

I was provided with a free copy of this audio book for my honest review. The views expressed here are entirely my own.

Good audio book

I enjoyed the audio, and the story was a good light hearted family friendly story. I found the story line a bit thin, but enjoyed the historical perspective.
