About this listen
From the NY Times Bestselling duo that wrote Agnes and the Hitman, the first book in the Liz Danger series.
Liz Danger has returned home after fifteen years to deliver a giant teddy bear for her mother’s birthday (color: Guilt Red) when a cop with a great ass picks her up for speeding, fixes the missing lug nuts on her back wheel, pulls her out of a ditch, doesn’t give her a ticket, and helps her avoid her family. This is a man with real potential. The rest of the day goes downhill, starting with her finding out that the only man she’s ever loved is getting married to Lavender Blue, the most beautiful woman in southern Ohio. Really, the best thing in her day is that cop with the lug nuts.
Vince Cooper still isn't sure about being a cop in Burney, Ohio, a place he just moved to six months ago, since Burney is full of some fairly odd people spaced between long stretches of boredom. Still, considering the dangerous, difficult life he had before Burney as an Army Ranger and New York City cop, boredom is good. Then he picks up Liz Danger for speeding and life gets a lot more interesting. And when he picks her up again in the local bar the next night, he starts to realize that “interesting” doesn’t begin to describe what’s going to happen to him if he pulls Liz into his arms and his life.
As Liz navigates her dysfunctional family, her flamboyant boss phoning in from Chicago, her still-interested ex, her bridesmaid dress from hell, a dachshund with issues, a disaster of a wedding, assault, murder, and three hundred and ninety-three teddy bears, Vince shows up to get her through, even though he knows that the real peril for him in Burney is the one who came with her own warning label, Liz Danger.
LAVENDER’S BLUE: Would it kill you to go home and see your mother?

Dennie Banks is an investigative reporter chasing down the biggest story of her career. Alec Prentice is a government agent working undercover to catch an elusive grifter. When they meet by accident, it’s a case of mistaken identities at first sight. What they don’t mistake is the instant attraction they have for each other, an attraction they’ll do everything in their power to resist - because Dennie thinks that Alec is running interference for her interview subject, and Alec suspects that Dennie is linked to his swindler. As the confusion grows, so do their feelings for each other....

Critic reviews
“Narrators Cris Dukehart and Eric G. Dove combine their talents to tell the tale of ghostwriter Liz Danger's return to her small hometown of Burney, Ohio.… Dukehart voices Liz in a steady, no-nonsense tone, perfectly matching her matter-of-fact personality. Dove brings Vince to life with a deeply masculine performance. Burney has a large cast of characters, and both narrators aptly capture their unique qualities.“—AudioFile Magazine

After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

Story
Rose Malone’s landlord and employer, Ozzie Oswald, just died, and now she has no idea if she has a job or if she and her daughter, Poppy, have a place to live, and that’s on top of the arrest warrant that’s been out for her for nineteen years. Then a stranger shows up claiming to be Ozzie’s son and tries to throw her out, so she swings a reproduction of the Maltese Falcon at him, and just as she’s about to finish him off in a rage, somebody grabs him and throws him into the street.

Somebody is killing the women of Rocky Start, which probably seems fair since they’re all retired assassins. Well, not all. There’s Rose Malone who’s trying to start her life over with herself at the center this time, once she stops her daughter, Poppy, from taking their secondhand shop online since Rose is still hiding out from the cops (nineteen years and still not in jail). She’d also like to have her lover back from the Appalachian Trail, but first, there’s this attempted assassination she has to foil.

At last! So ready for this book!
I’m a long time fan of Jennifer Cruise's work and have all of her other books which I’ve read and listened to many times so was very excited to see a new series by her and Bob Mayer.(already bought 2&3) I love the characters and the story kept me interested from page one. I appreciate the personalities and the way she develops her characters. They seem like people I’d like to meet. Would definitely recommend this and any of her other books!

Mystery and humor? Yes!
Jennifer Crusie and Bob Mayer are hilarious and wonderful writers with dialogue and plot and small town relations and murder or was it an accident? What a wild ride with Liz and Vince and the gang in Burny, Ohio. So glad I do not live there but so happy to visit. Up next, "Rest in Pink."
Narrators Cris Dukehart and Eric G. Dove did a fine job using duet and dual narration.

Entertaining Listen- Liz Danger Series Book one
So you return to your hometown after 15 years. You get pulled over by a cop for speeding. Great day so far. But the cop's kinda cute.
Upon returning, you will have to deal with your dysfunctional family and upbringing, throw in a murder, an ex boyfriend, a wedding, a bit of comedic wit and your employer moving to town for a few months to rent a home to complete your work assignments together. What could possibly go wrong?
You have a great narrator who brings all the characters to life.
"Lavender's Blue"- A Liz Danger Series Book one.
First time listening to these authors and you have a fast paced, entertaining book to enjoy.
Starting Book two, "Rest in Pink" now.
I truly enjoyed this fast paced, entertaining book with a bit of everything, especially Liz Danger's wit.
I'm always happy to find a good book to enjoy.
Right now free to listen and read on kindle unlimited.
I will definitely look for other books by these authors, Jennifer Crusie and Bob Mayer.
Witty quote from book:
"Family that makes you think about killing yourself whenever your with them is not family, its a biological mugging".

Off to a great start
It’s so wonderful to have Crusie and Mayer back in the business of writing screwball romantic mysteries. I love the massive cast of characters filled with strong, independent women and men secure enough to support them, except for the villains of course. The recording was very good—nicely matched voices that don’t make you cringe when you get to an intimate moment. I usually don’t like the back and forth, but it works well with the book’s format.
