Daisy McDare is back and better than ever.

Just as things are finally coming together for Daisy's life, another murder strikes the small, coastal town of Cozy Creek. This time a greedy real estate developer is the victim.

At first, Daisy is content to leave this case to the police. She'd rather focus on her interior decorating and her blossoming relationship with her new boyfriend. When Detective Crumple arrests the wrong suspect who also happens to be a friend of Daisy's, she realizes it's up to her to find the real killer before it's too late.

NICE COZY MYSTERY

I agree with another reviewer who said that this book discusses food almost non stop. It's basically in relation to Daisy. Which leads me to my question, is Daisy a toddler or an adult? Because she carries around "chocolate treats" to snack on during stressful times around the clock. No joke, it's referenced about 5 times by chapter 4 how Daisy needs her treats to calm her nerves or soothe her boredom. It's really odd.. a functioning adult can handle life without needing snacks for every small stress. I don't quite understand this character, she seems immature for her age. This shows a lot throughout the story & becomes glaring obvious on a few occasions. Daisy could use some better character development & added depth.

The Deadly Real Estate Affair (Daisy McDare #4)
by K.M. Morgan

Thanks K. M. Morgan for the Daisy anthology. At first I was a little skeptical, when I encountered all the cliches. I thought “oh oh” this author hasn't quite “got it”, until I realized the series is one big cliché. After that I relaxed and enjoyed the “who dunnit!” This was a nice “change of pace.”


The narration was well done. The characters were well portrayed by Angie Hickman.

Would you consider the audio edition of The Deadly Real Estate Affair to be better than the print version?

Yes, because of the accents

Have you listened to any of Angie Hickman’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes, this is the same as her others, amazing and sassy.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Not really

Any additional comments?

I love the fun and flirty notes in this book, this is the first I've read in the series but it is worth it as a standalone. its not super long, but a nice series to get into if you love cozy mysteries. I received this free book, in return for an unbiased review

Worth it, if only for the food

Any additional comments?

This audiobook was provided by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review.

Turns out, if something gets repeated every 5 minutes, I get seriously irritated. I had stopped listening to Slaughterhouse Five because of "So It Goes". I stopped listening to this book because of the Chocolate Treat lines. Apparently the main character loves stress eating chocolates.

Meh

Daisy McDare and the Deadly Real Estate Affair (Daisy McDare #4), my fourth read/listen from author K.M. Morgan, although I own sixteen of her books I’d never gotten around to reading one until I read The Deadly Floral Affair. Each book has been better than the one before, a well-written clean cozy mystery. Since I own both the Kindle & Audible editions I was able to read along while listening. Narrator Caroline Shively talented narration added to the book's enjoyment. Up next is Daisy McDare and the Deadly Rock Star Affair (Daisy McDare #5). (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).

Enjoyable

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, I would. It's short enough for anyone to be able to finish in one sitting; it's also enjoyable both when it comes to the plot and the interpretation. The characters are skilfully sketched with a few lines/words and the pace of the story is swift, which is good for a cozy mystery...

What other book might you compare The Deadly Real Estate Affair to and why?

I'd compare it to some stories by Agatha Christie - it has a similar construction: first, expositions of all the characters through dialogues and situations seen or overheard by others, then the crime itself, and then the investigation carried out by the detective mainly through another set of conversations... And although Agatha Christie is a definite master of crime books, I think Ms Morgan is equally enjoyable:)

Which character – as performed by Angie Hickman – was your favorite?

I liked the way Ms Hickman "voiced" Grannie Annie:) She really sounded older than the other women characters.
Generally, compared to other narrators I've listened to so far, Ms Hickman is the one who doesn't act out the text of the book so much. Rather, she just reads it, adding some voice modulations for different characters but not trying to be really "manly" when the male characters appear, which is a good decision here because she has a rather high pitched though really nice female voice. She would have sounded really strange trying to sound like a 50-60-year-old man:)
I also liked the tempo of Ms Hickman's reading - it was quite fast but not too fast for a non-native speaker of English like me to miss anything from the story:)

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Well, it was funny in places:) I liked the "cupcakes and chocolate" theme coming back in the least expected moments:) And the conversation on "chick flicks" with the police detective was great:)

This was a cute story. The characters were very entertaining. I only wish it could have been longer. This was my first book in this series. I would like to go back and do books 1, 2 and 3. I received this book free from the author for an honest review.

Any additional comments?

The Deadly Real Estate Affair by K.M. Morgan was a good read. Daisy's life was just starting to get back to normal when her new boss turns up dead. Daisy wanted to leave the latter to the police until the police arrest her friend. This was a great read, I can't wait to read more by K.M. Morgan.

Great Read
