In the second charming Jane Lawless mystery, the winter solstice nears and Jane, a Minneapolis restaurateur, is invited to spend the week at Fothergill Inn, a Victorian house-turned B&B. Jane's old friend Leigh has spent years renovating the house and reopening it as an inn and restaurant. The inn has become so successful that people drive the 50 miles from Minneapolis just for dinner. But when Jane and her best friend, Cordelia, arrive for a week of relaxation, they find that the weekend's guests are anything but pleased, and that relaxing is the furthest thing from their minds.

Broken glass litters the parking lot, dead animals turn up in the bedrooms, a bomb scare threatens the lives of the inn's guests - there is no doubt that someone is trying to scare the visitors. Then the pranks take a deadly turn when a customer ends up dead, and Jane must help her friend get to the bottom of these malicious and murderous events - before someone else dies.

Cordelia has the best comic relief lines. Lots of suspense, real life issues, and twists in this murder mystery. On to book three now for me, enjoying the audible version with excellent narration.

Book two is even better than book one

What disappointed you about Vital Lies?

I bought the book because the reader reviews were good, but the narration makes the story unbearable. She narrates the way most of us read aloud.

How could the performance have been better?

Use Barbara Rosenblat or Marguerite Gavin as the narrator.

What character would you cut from Vital Lies?

none

Terrible narration
