I was drawn to the audiobook of The Undercover Bookshop by Katherine Reay with its promise of a historical mystery set in a small Cotswold village in 1950. While it was slow to start, the tale narrated by Fiona Hardingham delivered a cozy mystery with spies and a curious amateur sleuth that I found charming.
I love the Legends & Lattes cozy fantasy series written and narrated by Travis Baldree, so I was excited to settle in with the audiobook Tales from the Territory. This collection contains five tales featuring characters from the series, and it was wonderful. Whether you are a fan like me, or just curious, this is sure to delight.
The Gilded Rose by Joanna Shupe gives readers a romantic Beauty and the Beast retelling set against the opulence of Gilded Age New York. An addictive romance from an author I both admire and enjoy.
If you are a fan of titles such as A Man Called Ove, you will want to grab Kathleen Fox’s debut novel Evie Walters Takes the Wheel narrated by Janet Metzger. This story features a seventy-year-old woman’s journey after her husband’s death. I laughed, cried, and soaked up every moment of this heartwarming tale.
‘Tis the season for horror and I dove right into Kelley Armstrong’s newest offering, Dive Bar at the End of the Road. Narrated by Helen Laser, Sean Patrick Hopkins, and Shane Ghostkeeper this supernatural horror has crash victims trapped at a dive bar on a deserted road surrounded by woods.
