About this listen
Feeling guilty for spending too much time on her phone and wanting to get back into the spirit of literature, amateur sleuth Geneva Pomolo attends a Jane Austen-themed party hosted by the Brixton family. Tensions are simmering between Kerri and her husband Jeremy. The party is thrown into disarray when a quarrel erupts between the couple, provoking Jeremy to storm out.
Things go from bad to murder when Jeremy is found dead on the street outside his home, having apparently been stabbed by the owner of the knife-sharpening van that patrols the neighborhood looking for business each afternoon. But when the owner of the van reports he was sick on the day of the murder, suspicion falls first on Kerri and then on an actress, whose brother had been killed by Kerri’s and Jeremy’s son during a drunken boat ride.
With the assistance of her partner, Iris Reeves, Geneva attempts to unravel this most tangled of cases. Their investigation leads them from a beehive-shaped yurt on the coast to an outdoor literature festival where death stalks in plain view. In the process, Geneva uncovers a secret that threatens to ruin what remains of the Brixton family….

Story
Amateur sleuth Geneva Pomolo is once again drawn into mystery when she helps to acquire a rare collection of signed classics for the town library. The books were terribly expensive - and more than one person is after them. When the glass display housing the books is smashed and the books vanish, Geneva and her best friend Iris are drawn into the case. Their task is to recover the collection before it disappears into the hands of a private collector. But a wave of robberies in Wrangler’s Hill has the entire town on edge, and it’s only a matter of time before someone gets hurt.

For Mrs Pargeter, it is a matter of principle that she should complete any of her late husband's unfinished business. Amongst his many bequests, perhaps the most valuable is his little black book, in which he listed all the people who ever worked for him, with details of their particular skill sets. This means that whenever Mrs P has a crime to solve, she can readily contact someone with the relevant expertise.

Unemployed at 29, Tess Monaghan is willing to take any freelance job to pay the rent—including a bit of unorthodox snooping for her rowing buddy, Darryl "Rock" Paxton. In a city where someone is murdered almost every day, attorney Michael Abramowitz's death should be just another statistic. But the slain lawyer's notoriety—and his noontime trysts with Rock's fiancée—make the case front page news...and point to Rock as the likely murderer. But trying to prove her friend's innocence could prove costly to Tess.

Geneva and Iris on the Cass
During a theme party Geneva and Iris are pulled into the murder Mystery when the cohost Mr. Jeremy Brixton is found dead in the street. While the two are investigating the murder the bodies start to pile up just as fast as the suspect list. The storyline is nicely written and the characters are believable and well developed. Kathleen Strecker does an amazing job bringing each of the characters to life as well as keeping the listener entertained. If you love mysteries that are clean, intriguing with a slight mix of the paranormal this book is for you. I highly recommend this book and series. This is my honest unbiased review that I am voluntarily leaving of my own volition.

Geneva and Iris solve another case!
Crimes & Costumes is one of the Mrs. Pomolo Investigates series by Donna Muse. The story is engaging, with twists. The characters are relatable like friends and neighbors Geneva and her partner Iris complain that they spend too much time on their phones and can’t go a few minutes without them! They attend a literary based costume party and someone is killed. As they investigate, another person is murdered! In the end, the investigation is successful. The narrator, Kathleen Strecker is wonderful. She creates unique voices for each character and brings the story and characters to life!
