- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I liked the premise of this book, the characters and the writing when describing the house, grounds etc. Where it fell down for me was the - who could it be this one but he wasn't there or maybe he was that one but then again- this made up about 75% of the book. I know this has to be the case in a murder mystery but it was too much. There were also a few mistakes where the main character Hazel, says she 'must remember to ask Hazel who inherits' She means she must ask Myrtle. I guessed straight away who it was and I'm usually not very good at that. I have to admit after chapter 9, I skipped to the end. I will give the second in the series a go and hope it's not the same scenario. I do however love Leighann Dobbs series The Mystic Notch Mysteries.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5The word “twee” should be revived for use in describing fake vintage murder mysteries like this. Look it up and, if twee is what you like, listen to this book.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5So, so. The book couldn't keep my interest and I don't think it was the story, which was OK as far as the genre goes, as much as the voice was so irritatingly chirpy I couldn't listen for more than a few minutes at one go. I may look for a print copy to see if that's any better.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Forgettable. The author tried too hard to make sure we all know that Hazel is wealthy! And a writer! And is not interested in getting married again! And that her cat gives her clues! The writing was repetitive, and used expressions and behaviors that didn't fit in context.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Yaaaaaaaaawn!Bland writing, boring/flat characters, & dull narrative.... Main character blathers on & on w/ supposition of who could it beMatriarch has several near misses w/ murder, seems hazy w/ upset stomach most days.... Daughter-in-law killed instead by mistake...Mystery author/friend of family figures out who done itBoooooooooring!
