About this listen

Would you join a book club that gets absorbed right into their cozy mysteries? These people did, and now they are hooked on traveling into books to become the amateur sleuths!

In this journey, the book club travels to the Kingdom of Everglow, where the royal family is rocked to the core when a key staff member falls dead at a community event. In the turmoil that follows, any evidence of what happened is destroyed, so they must go by the recollection of witnesses who were too busy enjoying the celebration to offer any valuable testimony. The royal family is further distressed when they return to the castle to see signs of a break in that somehow defied their complex security system. They wake the next day to discover that one member of the royal family has fallen into a deep, deathlike sleep.

Can the Snapdragon Inn Book Club uncover the plot behind this attack on the royal family? Can they find the antidote to wake the princess from her supernatural slumber? Can they bring peace back to the worried royal family and the frightened community? Let’s hope they can, since they must solve the mystery and reach The End to get out of the book and back to their home in Colorado.

A royal mystery

I enjoyed this adventure into the magical book club that is like no other. I love the whole series and just the very idea of going inside the book to solve the mystery is very appealing, especially as the mysteries take place in unusual places. Some place even only exist in the authors imagination. This means each journey is very different from the last but gets better and better with each book and the more you get to know the characters. Anything can happen or you can end up going anywhere, it is just one of the reasons I can't wait for the next book to come out. I love the characters, especially as in this book we learn more about the mysterious talking library cat, Frank who has been keeping a big secret from us all. The mystery was good and contained a number of clues to help you figure it out, that's not to say there isn't a few surprises as well.
Paige and the gang choose to head to the kingdom of Everglow for there next book club adventure. The enchanted land soon has them investigating a murder when one of the Queens trusted advisor is murder at a concert in the park. As everybody panicked not knowing what was going on but seeing the body drop, evidence is lost. As guest of the royal family they are in the perfect place to question suspects but when one of the princess fails to wake up, they wonder if it could be an inside job. Who would want to target the Queen and her family? Paige and her friends will need to use all there skills and tricks to get to the bottom of this royal problem.
I have heard a number of stories narrated by virtual voice now and while not as good as a human, you don't the Inflection a human would provide, I have found that it doesn't interfere with the enjoyment of a well written story and doesn't sound at all robotic. I would listen to another book narrated by virtual voice

So much fun.

If your a cat lover, you will love this latest edition into the Magical Mystery Book Club.

I’ve definitely adapted to the AI voice, and it didn’t distract me from the story at all as I listened to the audiobook.

The story is full of loveable characters, a whimsical plot, and an unexpected King that the author smoothly wraps around you like a warm blanket. The opening reveals a surprising plot twist. So smart of the author to keep Mollie as a ghost since she can literally be the “fly on the wall” for the book club group. The ending was a clever twist, and truly worked with the story of the book.
