Death of a Dapper Snowman

Stormy Day Mystery, Book 1

De: Angela Pepper

Narrado por: Tiffany Williams

After finding a corpse hidden in a snowman, Stormy is determined to find the culprit — with the help of a mischievous feline named Jeffrey. With nonstop twists and turns, this clever tale is a must-listen!

First in series!

When the daughter of a cop finds a body next door, she's the only one who can solve the strange mystery.

Stormy Day has moved back home, and it's not for the local coffee or nightlife, both of which are lacking in Misty Falls, Oregon. She's there to help her father finally retire from being a cop, and slow the heck down after his hip replacement. Plus she needs to give her brain a break from the high-stakes world of venture capital.

But when she makes a shocking discovery next door, Stormy's clever brain kicks into overdrive. This murder is too difficult for the local boys in blue to figure out. The new captain of the police department tells her to mind her own business, but he doesn't take his own advice. He's always breathing down her neck like a jealous ex-boyfriend (which he is).

What's there to be jealous of? Stormy's not even dating anyone. She's certainly not going to date the ruggedly handsome, bearded lawyer who's renting half her house. No way. Every time she sees Mr. Logan Sanderson, the town's newest resident, he's insulting her one way or another. The man should show his landlady a little more respect! He's the worst. Sort of. It would be easier to hate him if he weren't so cute underneath that bushy beard.

Now there's a murder to solve, and since the legendary Finnegan Day is recovering from surgery, it's up to his determined daughter Stormy to save the town from a twisted killer. If she fails to solve this twisted puzzle in time, someone close to her will pay a terrible cost.

Amateur Sleuth

I enjoyed listening to this cozy mystery audiobook narrated well by Tiffany Williams. This book has witty moments involving a cat. The main character literally stumbles upon a dead body.

Great Read

Death of a Dapper Snowman (Stormy Day Mystery #1) was a great read by Angela Pepper. Stormy Day is a gift shop owner wo is settling into her new life. Everything is going well until she comes across a frozen body that is hidden inside a well-dressed snowman. Her own father is implicated in the murder and she must chase down what actually happened. Unfortunately as the investigation goes on, her own life may be in danger. Until Jeffrey, the mischievous Russian Blue cat, that helps her figure out what happened. I enjoyed reading this book and can't wait to read more by the author.

Cosy mystery

1st in a series. Sets up the small town, lovable characters while telling a great story. Narrators were wonderful. Definitely be listening to the next one.

4 1/2 stars. Enjoyed this story and narration.

4 1/2 stars for me. I enjoyed this audiobook and beginning of this cozy mystery series. Stormy Day was smart, intuitive, and tenacious woman. She accidentally found her dead neighbor and took it upon herself to help law enforcement find the killer. I found all Stormy's personal interactions between each main character to be very entertaining, from the head detective (childhood classmate) to her new tenant (Logan, looking for more between these two) to her father and his current roommate. I have to add in the darling Jeffrey, a cat, that helped and loved Stormy. Looking forward to the next in the series. The narration by Tiffany Williams added life to the characters and the story. Enjoyed listen to her.

I received a copy of this audiobook, and this is my unsolicited review.
