A man in hiding. A gang of outlaws searching for retribution. This is no time for cupcakes. Today is Brody Steele’s first day as the new owner of The Red Herring, Pleasant Valley, Maine’s only mystery bookstore. The cute shop has a loyal customer base as well as an ornery cat.

Unfortunately, Brody doesn’t know the first thing about running a legitimate business, he doesn’t want to be in the small town, and he hates cats. On top of all that, he hasn’t read a book since high school. When a cute woman walks into the store, he thinks his bad luck is about to change. But as she starts asking about the previous owner’s whereabouts, his safe new existence begins to unravel.

For Brody Steele is a man with a secret he must protect at all costs. The U.S. Government has invested a lot to keep it hidden, and his enemies will stop at nothing to expose him. Does happiness or death await Brody in this charming seaside community?

A moderately intriguing, somewhat shallow mystery. It was somewhat entertaining. Probably will not continue the series.

I was hoping for more intrigue and depth.

Curiosity made me try the 1st book audio and it was excellent. Didn't know where the story was going, but I sure did enjoy the trip. Excited to see what new adventures await the Main Character. The audio characters were excellent. They were very distinguishable. Really enjoy it!

Spoiler Alert
Love the story but then it’s a fast wrap up and then he is leaving, and what? What happens next ? Too many unanswered questions. I would have loved to read the next book but it isn’t about him. So what happens next for Beau/Brody? I was disappointed.

Great story

The Red Herring is not your ordinary book store and Brody Steele is not your ordinary Bookseller. He’s big, ornery on a good day, and well, Brody hasn’t been having too many good days lately… then there’s THAT cat, the cat of many names… and HE’s elevated ornery to an art form! First, let me say, I loved everything, EVERYTHING, about this listen! Every once in a while it all comes together perfectly, and with “Cozy Up to Death” it … just … does! The story is smooth, easy to follow, and has all the elements I look for in a cozy mystery. I’m not giving details to avoid spoilers, but rest assured there are protagonists aplenty, a varied choice of suspects, mystery, suspense, and action! The edge of my seat saw wear, breath was sufficiently bated, and interest was held throughout! Now on to the characters, oh holy WOW the characters! They were without exception BRILLIANT! So varied, well conceived, designed and defined, I loved the every single character, even the nasties! Oh I wanted to bat them about to be sure, and I fist pumped and whooped when they got theirs, but they were so perfectly brilliant, that they truly defined “loved to hate”! Their dialogue not only fit their personalities, but moved the story forward beautifully, keeping this listener in the moment, entertained and engaged throughout! I had so much fun listening! What made this experience even more enjoyable was the absolutely astounding narration! With vocal selections perfectly fitting each character, they are brought stunningly alive, and made believable, through perfect accents, dialects, and emotional intonation! I loved everything about this story and performance! Five stunning stars across all categories!

The Characters! The Writing, The Humor! Love at First Listen!

I really like the pace of the book, the protagonist, the little additions of detail that went into the story. Recommend reading this book.

Very enjoyable story

It took me a few minutes to get used to the voice of the main character but once I understood the character I enjoyed the story.

Silly but fun listen!

I felt like it was not written for adults but had adult content. I will not be listening to anymore of the series.

I am not even sure what I just listened to

I love this male main character
