Veronica Mars meets the World of Warcraft in The Astonishing Mistakes of Dahlia Moss, a mystery romp with a most unexpected heroine.

You'd think that after I took a bullet in my arm following my last case, that I'd be timid about going in guns blazing a second time. But you'd be wrong. I faced down death, and the only bad thing that happened was that I got a cool scar. Which is a like a tattoo, but with street cred.

I may have been a little overconfident this time. Like, Leeroy Jenkins overconfident. Some small, but confidently made, errors committed in this audiobook include:

  • Unwisely meeting up with an internet stalker in real life
  • Eating a large breakfast before discovering a corpse
  • Kidnapping
  • Standing uncomfortably close to the edge of a steamboat while musing that nothing bad could possibly happen
  • Kidnapping, again

That's the thing about a sense of invulnerability - you usually get it right before things go terribly, terribly, wrong.

The narrator is tremendous. Lauren Fortgang could read the dictionary and I would enjoy it! ❤️
The book is buckets of fun and I've found myself actually LOLing in public with myself like a crazy person - on multiple occasions 😬. The villains could have been better reasoned though 🤷

geeky and hilarious:)

Listening to this it felt more like a stand up comedienne/story teller. The story is done in first person and the delivery is spot on. If you aren't familiar with gamer culture it doesn't take a much to compare this to any group of somewhat rabid hobbyists at a convention. The gaming is the background for the mystery and the mystery is the real story. Well, maybe Dahlia, herself, is the real story.

Laugh out loud funny in places

Inept pre-private detective is hilarious but somehow gets the job done with too many mishaps to name!

Hilarious!

Love this series. A cozy geek mystery. Perfect audio performance from the narrator. Where’s the third book?

Funniest book I own.

I’m going to keep this short and sweet: this book is great. The story is very nerdy and entertaining (and hysterically funny) and Lauren Fortgang as narrator is awesome. Seriously, I can’t stress that enough. I’m an audiobook enthusiast, and Lauren is the best narrator I’ve ever had the pleasure of listening to. 10/10, will listen again.

Hilarious writing and FANTASTIC narrator
