I love this series!

These are not deep, they have many amusing moments, and like most cozies, pretty much exceed what could possibly pass for realistic situations/solutions. The charm in this one lies in the author's ability to create a set a characters whose chemistry works well together. Light enough not to be a taxing, heavy, intense read, yet filled with enough action to feel like a page turner at the same time. I best enjoy Jordan, her uncles and the unlikable Vera. I find Officer Smiley a bit weakly drawn.
This book sees Jordan tracking after an old man she met while seeking the Sayers books. Upon returning to the house, the whole family is missing, a murder has been committed and she tries to find out info from a woman cop who is on the scene. It all builds to a spectacular ending, and the reader (or at least I) enjoy the twists and turns along the way.
Don't expect this to be John Grishom. This is a cozy series, meant for fun, and among those that I am aware of, it has lots of charm, is a great read and I look forward to hearing the next in the series.
Turning into a really fun series!

Would you consider the audio edition of The Sayers Swindle to be better than the print version?
I've not read the print version, so I can't say.Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
I wouldn't say it kept me on the edge of my seat. But it did intrigue me. It takes a good book to capture my attention. I've ditched on (not finished) books that didn't do that.Have you listened to any of Carla Mercer-Meyer’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Just listened to her reading the first book in this series. She's was good on that one, and she is getting better.Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
No extreme reaction, except my annoyance with the author's overuse of the word "glowering." She should search for this word in her manuscript and see how often she uses it -- often multiple times within a chapter. Sooner or later, every character in the book glowers. What's up with that? Buy a thesaurus and find another word. It becomes especially painful when you are listening to the audiobook; maybe it's not as noticeable in the print version.Enough glowering! Author needs to get a thesaurus

Would you try another book from Victoria Abbott and/or Carla Mercer-Meyer?
No, this one was so frustrating for me because the characters were so unbelievable.What could Victoria Abbott have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Made the plot interesting and the characters believable.Any additional comments?
I wish I hadn't wasted a credit on this book.Really very, very lightweight

There were several mispronunciations...the most notable for me was the car Audi, which is correctly pronounced "Ow-Dee" not "Aw-dee" as the narrator did repeatedly.
After the book was over, I listened (I was driving) to the same narrator give the credits. This was done with more skill than the actual narration of the book.
I've learned a lesson...go back to audiobooks where I enjoyed the narration and choose based on the narrator.
