About this listen

Ellie's detective days may have seemed like a gutter ball, but she's about to knock down some serious pins. Whether she likes it or not.

Just when she thinks she can take a break from sleuthing, a new murder mystery rolls her way. Ellie must strike fast to bring the killer to justice.

But that's not all she's got on her plate. She's also teaching a lively group of bachelorette ladies to belly dance, dealing with her magical mane acting up, and training for the local Trot-n-Tater race. Plus, a handsome and mysterious man has magically appeared and seems to know more about her powers than she does.

Can Ellie bowl over the competition at the Trot-N-Tater and solve the case? Or will she find herself in the gutter with no way out?

Get ready for a wild ride full of belly laughs and suspense in the second book of the Magical Mane Mystery series.

No Blunder Here! I Five Star Loved!

Ellie has her hands full, what with teaching a bridal party to belly dance, townsfolk insisting she’s a “witch” and trying to tame that magical mane of hers … the last thing she needs is another body! But, that’s exactly what she gets when the lights come back on in “Bowling Blunder” a delightfully charming, magically entertaining, “who done it” mystery! I am loving getting to know the inhabitants of Cliff Haven as I listen to this beautifully written, magnificently narrated series! These characters are fascinating! They feel deeply, they get mad, they seek revenge, and they sometimes forgive! Along the way there’s laughter, tears and sometimes love … along with the occasional grudge - well okay, more than occasional! In short, they act like REAL, living, breathing people … those we all know … some we’d like to hold dear, some we’d like to forget and some we’d love to … well that could get me into the same pickle as … lips zipped! I’m not giving THAT away! This plot is not only engaging and engrossing, it’s delightfully loaded with twists and more than a few surprises! I’m not going to give any of that away either! I did have my suspicions, and when all was revealed I was close, but alas - no cigar! But was I disappointed? NOOOOO! The ride was a blast, it all made perfect sense, and I’d had the BEST time listening to this BRILLIANTLY entertaining story! What really made this one come alive in my minds eye was the narration! I love it when you can “feel” the characters as you listen, when every character voiced creates a mental picture so beautifully, so vibrantly ALIVE that you can “SEE” the story as it plays out! This was all that and more! Perfectly timed, perfectly paced and perfectly executed, truly bringing the author’s vision to beautiful life! Five fantastic stars in all categories! I LOVED it!

Wonderfully fun series!

In book 2 of the Stella Bixby’s Magical Mane mystery series, Ellie Vanderwick continues to settle in her new home in Cliff Haven Iowa. She’s making new friends and busy teaching some exercise classes to a bridal party, renovating her barn, and training for the trot-n-tater Thanksgiving run. Unfortunately Ellie is present when a member of the bridal party dead body is found and wants to help investigate. The book is well written and the mystery is good. The new character Xander, is a nice addition to the cast. There’s still some sadness in her, and I hope Ellie gets more info about her Mom. The narration by Shannon Nicole Locke is fabulous. She creates uniquely voiced characters that are perfect in the story. Her performance brings the characters and story to life. I can’t wait for the 3rd audiobook!

Magic

Another great mystery book by Stella Bixby. The lead characters are still having trouble being accepted by everyone in their new community.

Another death suspected murder near them doesn’t help. Enjoy this book as you try and solve if the death is a murder and who did it.

Looking forward to another book by this author and narrator.

Amazing Series!

This is the second book in the Magical Mane Mystery Series, a magical cozy mystery! I love this series! Ellie's sleuthing is entertaining. She is such a wonderful character, smart, sunshine and strong. She has a cute pig named Penelope. The plot is well crafted, intriguing, and captivating, filled with murders, intrigue and twists and turns. I liked the humor in the story. The cast of supporting characters is impressive. Shannon Nicole Locke did a spectacular job bringing this story to life. She has a beautiful voice, and an outstanding range of voices. I enjoyed it. I love the small town vibes. Looking forward to listening to Spotlight Scanda, the next book in the series. I highly recommend this series!
