I love this book, first time reading Jude Devereaux; so glad I found this author. The characters were so likable, all of them, especially Aunt Sara; Jack and Kate. They were fabulous. I like how she went back in time and had real conversations while reminiscing. I like the way the sheriff was at first and then how he came around. Great Read, will read another one for sure. I highly recommend.

I was glad there were upbeat characters rather than the loner who has to fight everyone, but is brillant and right.

Fun to the end. Excellent reader! Wonderful repartee between characters in the story. An overall superior "listen."

Great book. Loved how Susan Bennet made the characters come to life.

Enjoyable mystery, though not a surprising ending, and good characters. Not sure she intends to make a series, but may read another if so.

My second Jude Deveraux book and it did not disappoint!

Really fun who dunnit book. Greatly enjoyable

slow. too wordy in places

This is a great series from a dependable author. You know you will get a good story. I love the character dynamics!!

The most unusual mystery that Jude Deveraux has written.

Really enjoyed this book!

Extremely tedious, I could not finish it.

Very predictable

This was much more of a romance than it was a mystery. Predictable. The narrator pronounced words that I had to go back and listen again to tell what they were. She read many sentences as angry when it should’ve come out sarcastic. I may stay with authors I am familiar with.

This was a great story! I love Sara, Kate, and Jack. They are a terrific trio. Jude Devereaux has always created characters you feel like you know and this is no exception. I did guess part of the mystery but there was still a plot twist that made it a really satisfying end. I wasn’t sure before I listened, because Jude Devereaux is known for her romances, but she pulled off a fantastic mystery! The characters (main and supporting) as well as the plot line we’re well developed and interesting. The narrator was good - not the best but there are a lot worse.

The narrator was very difficult to listen to.

I enjoyed the story, but the ending was predictable.

This was a very enjoyable book. The narrator was good and the story kept me interested.

Too long and not relatable. Prefer JDs period romances... tbh.

Couldn't put it down. An extremely well-written story that kept my attention throughout. The narrator did an excellent job of adding another dimension to the engaging and well-defined characters. As for the killer, not once did I guess correctly. But once I knew it made complete sense. What a wonderful book. I highly recommend it. Now, I'm going to go check and see if there are any more books written in this world. I'd love to see more about the characters.

Very repetitive, boring. Big waste of my time!!!

An enjoyable story with wonderful narration.

I really enjoyed this one. Lots of twists! Good characters and good story-telling.

I really enjoyed it! The characters’ personalities are well developed, and the narrator really brings them to life.

Very good book. Agree with several of other reviews. The connection and reaction between the 3 main characters was surreal. Narrator did a good job Definitely has an unusual ending.

Fun listen

I liked the story and the narrator. I liked the characters. It held my attention throughout. Some plot twists I saw coming, but not all.

Wow, I loved every bit of this book. the ending was amazing.

I enjoyed this book. I wanted the storyline to continue.

I really liked the fact that this was narrated by the author and loved her voice. I got drawn in right away with the character development and plot. It felt like I was on an adventure with Sarah, Jack and Kate. Even though I thought I had it figured out, there was a plot twist I didn't see coming. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would highly recommend it.

I really enjoyed this book. It was a great listen, easy to follow with good characters and flow. Kept my attention throughout.

I am in LOVE with Jack! This is a great mix of romance and murder mystery. It made me smile listening to their interactions. I am definitely listening to the rest of this series.

I enjoyed both the story and the narrator

Likable characters with interesting story

Jude Devereaux always comes through. i was glued! Very entertaining and the characters likeable. She always makes people seem so real - not over done or ridiculous as some writers do. I recommend.
