About this listen

A 2024 Silver Falchion Award Top Pick for Best Cozy Book

Henny Wiley has a problem...she's a bit of a collector. Well, collector might be an understatement. She's a full-blown hoarder!

Henny doesn't see it that way though. She considers herself a finder of lost treasures and the only thing Henny loves more than a great deal at a yard sale is to head to the parking lot of her favorite hobby store and search through their dumpster for bright new shiny things.

During one such dumpster dive, Henny makes a horrific discovery...the dead body of a young woman she had a soft spot for. Determined to find out who murdered her friend Henny drags along her recently deceased husband Walter (who obviously has problems of his own!) and her long-suffering sister Ida Mae as back-up.

But the murderer is paying attention and if Henny's not careful, the next body dying in a dumpster will be her own!

Henny Wiley is an obsessive hoarder who sees herself as a treasure hunter, often dumpster diving for discarded finds. During one of her scavenging trips, she discovers the body of a young woman she cared about and becomes determined to solve the murder. Enlisting the help of her ghostly husband and weary sister, Henny dives headfirst into danger—unaware that the killer is very close and watching her every move.

Michelle Bennington has created a thoroughly enjoyable cozy mystery filled with charming characters, relatable moments, and a storyline that flows effortlessly. The dialogue feels natural and true to each scene, and while the plot isn’t overly complex, it’s entertaining and keeps you hooked.

Waverley Manson’s narration is truly impressive—I honestly thought there were two narrators at first! Her ability to shift seamlessly between male and female voices is both convincing and a delightful surprise. With clear delivery, well-paced timing, and just the right emotional tone, she brings the story to life and heightens the listening experience.

Together, the author and narrator make this cozy mystery a standout—engaging, immersive, and hard to pause!

As a result, this book is being awarded the Audiobookreviewer’s Choice Award as it deserves higher than the standard five star review.

It was a delightful fun Whodunit Mystery that held my attention from the first chapter. I can relate to Heddy the Main character.
