Some cases hit close to the bone. For amateur sleuth Sabrina Carlson, this is one of them. In Sabrina's mind, missing-persons investigations are always the hardest. Mostly because they remind her of losing her sister years before. If fighting off flashbacks of her sister's death isn't bad enough, this current case is one of the most difficult of Sabrina's career. After all, Claire Blakely didn't just disappear without a trace. She also didn't have any enemies. In addition, as far as Sabrina can tell, there are no leads to work with.

Wedding Bell Blues
Chocolate Cake with a Side of Murder
: Meredith Potts
This is book 9 in Daley Buzz Cozy Mystery series. Sabrina is there to help her cop fiancee solve murders in their town. The characters move about their lives until murder happens, then they all become suspects. The listener will follow the clues and try to solve it first. My only complaint is not needing to know everyone's exact age. It may just be me but I find it irksome.
The narration was well done. The characters were well portrayed by Lisa Beacom.

SHORT, SWEET, FUN
CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH A SIDE OF MURDER is the ninth book in the Daley Buzz Cozy Mysteries series. While each could stand on their own, I recommend reading them all and in the order of release.
Like dessert, there always seems to be room for another Daley Buzz Cozy Mystery. They are short and sweet, fun for the whole family, and hold a charm all their own.
Of course, my favorite character is Sabrina’s Grandma. That woman can get me to smile on my worst days. I want to grow up to be her.
Narration: Lisa Beacom continues to grow as a narrator and delivers another wonderful performance as Sabrina Daley. She also presents the many other voices with confidence and skill.
Note: While I received this book as a gifted audiobook copy, my opinions are my own and are given freely.

Great Cozy Mystery
This is book 9 in the series but a great stand alone book. Sabrina Daily gets engages and attends a friend's wedding. She loves everything about the wedding so she wants to hire her for her wedding. Unfortunately the next day the wedding planner is found dead. This cozy mystery keeps you wondering who did it. The narration is great, the characters are believable and interesting. Meredith Potts has done it again.

A slight departure for Sabrina and David..........
Chocolate Cake with a Side of Murder is the ninth book in this cozy mystery series, but I think that it can easily be enjoyed without previous exposure to the main characters, Sabrina and David. This book departs slight from the usual formula in that the murder victim is well liked by everyone in her life and has no apparent enemies. When the victim's husband is murdered within two days of his wife, David and Sabrina suddenly have multiple people with a reason to want him dead. However, what is the motive for BOTH of them being murdered? It was fun watching David and Sabrina figure out the answer to that question, and I had not guessed the guilty party until the big reveal. Throw in some great interactions with Sabrina's quirky mom and grandmother as well as her fellow residents of Treasure Cove, and this is a very enjoyable cozy mystery listen.
Lisa Beacom's narration is excellent. She does not differentiate overly between characters, but I easily followed the story nonetheless. Her delivery flows very smoothly, and she uses the perfect tone for each scene in the book. Overall, she added to my listening experience.
