About this listen
They say bad things come in threes. Usually, they don’t mean murder.
After several months (and a few murders), Dash is finally starting to feel at home in Hastings Rock. He’s enjoying the quiet after the end of tourist season, he’s comfortable at Hemlock House (the jury is still out on whether it’s haunted), and most importantly, he has friends.
Friends, unfortunately, who have a tendency not to take no for an answer. Which is how Dash finds himself at a cold-water surfing competition only a few days before Halloween—and, even worse, attending a costume party at the surf camp later that evening.
When Dash stumbles across the body of a predatory local real estate developer, he’s the only one who believes it’s murder. Worse, Dash’s friend Deputy Bobby (they’re just friends, thank you very much) is on leave from the sheriff’s office while he and his fiancé prepare for their move to Portland. But Dash is determined not to let a murder go unsolved. And as Dash works to prove that the death was anything but accidental, the killer turns their attention to him.

Okay, two goals - because he wouldn't mind a little help from his new boss, celebrity mystery author Vivienne Carver.

As sole heir to the Bredahl Cookies and Cakes fortune, Casper led a comfortable, happy-go-lucky life. Some would say, a charmed life. Sure, there were challenges: relentless pressure to join the family business, and his unrequited feelings for former high school crush Raleigh Jackson. But yeah, a charmed existence, compared to life after being arrested for murder and spending nearly a year in Chippewa Falls County Jail, awaiting trial.

But staying sharp was the only way to stay safe in the cutthroat world of modeling, and it turns out, graduate school isn’t any gentler. Career first. Boys…later. Jadon knows he’s burning out; his partner at the Metropolitan Police is more than happy to remind him of that fact. But the last time he let himself get distracted, people died, and he’s not going to let it happen again. And Nico was nothing but a distraction.

Everything is going great until one morning, Fer finds a baby in his kitchen. And not just any baby—his brother Chuy’s infant daughter.

When ghostwriter Maz Amani inherits a house from an uncle he’s never heard of, he offers heartfelt thanks to the universe, packs up his car, his cat, and his skepticism about mysterious uncles leaving all their worldly goods to unknown nephews, and high-tails it to a small town halfway to the Oregon coast. Anything would be better than week after week of couch surfing his way around Portland. Even if the alleged house is a rundown shack ridden with termites, spiders, and—shudder—rats, he’ll deal. Because hey, he owns a house!

He resigns his position in the city and takes a job as sole GP in the isolated town of Rainy Dale, Texas, population 1,001.

When one of his most annoying patients ends up dead in his pool, he has some explaining to do.

There is miscommunications, inaccurate assumptions and of course stubborn men. Deputy Bobby’s relationship with has fiancés takes a necessary but unexpected turn. But somehow, I feel we haven’t heard the last of this relationship. My favorite part was the heartfelt dialogue between Dash and Bobby; it’s a start. In the end, we are left with more questions than answers, which is why I look forward to the next installment.
We also get a little peek inside Kimi’s back story; I look forward to hearing more about that. The mystery revolves around a murdered scum bag developer. Lots of red herrings with a satisfying conclusion. Mr. Gibson gives us another A+ performance and really brings these characters alive.

Andrew Gibson is a delight in giving all these characters their own voices, I adore listening to his nuances in vocal tenor.
I find that with the release of the audible version close to the book, I notice more details than when I just read the book itself since the story is fresher in my mind. Can't wait for the rest!!

The mystery is definitely written and paced well. The other main characters are also showing a bit more depth; especially the one who doesn’t speak much! There is still an abundance of funny bits as well as lots of cake. I really enjoyed listening to this book after having previously reading the hard copy when it was released. I’m eagerly looking forward to listening to the next book in the series. Well done Mr. Ashe! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Despite the serious nature of the mystery and some tense personal conflicts, I had fun listening to this story. Andrew Gibson continues to narrate all of the characters beautifully, and I enjoyed listening to their antics. I was a tiny bit disappointed in the choice of Halloween costumes by The Last Picks crew. The costumes of the kids trick-or-treating at Hemlock House were way better than the adults...except for Dash. Dash's costume was amazing. I adore his sense of humor.
The Last Picks continue to work well together as a team of misfits. Their support of each other brings some positive vibes to a grim story. Dash's internal dialogue is relatable, as he uses the Will Gower character he created to work through difficult situations. I am looking forward to finding out what Dash does with his Will Gower character and whether Will Gower (or Dash) ever finds true love. I am also looking forward to Andrew Gibson's narration of the next book in The Last Picks series with anticipation.
Another great adventure for The Last Picks crew!
