Stephanie Quinn
Meet Lily Sprayberry. Selling homes is her career. Solving murders, her calling.
There’s money buried somewhere on Myrtle Redbecker’s property, and people are dying to find out where. Literally.
When Bramblett County, Georgia’s number one realtor, Lily Sprayberry, finds her cantankerous older client dead on the kitchen floor, she lands herself smack-dab in the middle of a long-running property battle and a 100-year-old rumor. Lily made a promise to sell Myrtle’s land whether her client’s alive or not. But whoever wants that money doesn’t want the property to sell and will do whatever’s necessary to stop her.
Can Lily keep her promise, or will she wind up another victim in this deal gone dead?

This a perfect weekend read that flowed nicely with an intriguing storyline and complex characters. I look forward to reading other books in the series.
The Narrator
Stephanie Quinn was the perfect narrator for this sweet southern mystery! I laughed so hard throughout the story. She was the epitome of southern grace.

I am a cozy junkie. So, I am always looking and willing to try a new cozy series. However, I didn't really love this series but I didn't dislike it either. I liked the MC Lily and there is some fun humor in this series. It also has a spooky treasure story. What's not to like? I don't like whiny characters and I felt there was quite a bit of whining related to Lily and her former boyfriend, now Sheriff, Dylan's relationship. Every time they interacted, I just could not wait until the scene would end. [I am a believer in love just not whiny indecisiveness]. It was light on the mystery as well - I was able to determine the culprit fairly quickly and I so wanted the characters to be better at solving the crime than I was.
The narrator, Stephanie Quinn, had a nice southern accent for the entire narration. She provided various different voices to distinguish the characters. I found listening to her to be very enjoyable.
Just Okay

This was a sweet cozy mystery with a likeable main character. I did not like the relationship with her ex at all but maybe I will understand their relationship better in the next book. I loved the narrator's southern accent but I did not really enjoy her male voices and some of the older women's voices.

Part of it is that I'm not tremendously interested in realtors. Then there is that this is not a paranormal (as Aspenson's Angela Panther series is). Mostly what bothers me about this is that the main character repeatedly involves herself with dangerous people and situations without a real reason we can agree with. She is just this side of TSTL, which makes me sad for Aspenson because I know that she can write a story that provides characters with legitimate or at least understandable reasons for disobeying the law, putting herself in danger, etc.
The narrator doesn't help. Her voicing of the main character contributes to the sense that she is irresponsible and unjustified when she walks into danger. And what is with the narrator's "old coot" voice? I also think she misses some of the inflections the author intended, making us miss some important tidbits--not good for a mystery-- and some witty bits..
I give this series a "pretty good" 3 stars across the board. The narrator gets a 1 though.
I received free copies of this entire series, which was dang generous, and I'm grateful while also sorry to have to give bad feedback.
author good, narrator not so much
