Extracurricular Activities

A Murder 101 Mystery, Book 2

De: Maggie Barbieri

Narrado por: Gayle Hendrix

You'd think, now that she's off the hook for murder, Alison Bergeron, an English professor at a private college a stone’s throw up the Hudson from Manhattan, would be able to relax - but how can she with a wedding in the works?

Alison is happy for her best friend, Max. Really, she is. She loves Max, and the guy Max is marrying completely adores her. Even being in the wedding wouldn't be so bad, if it'd keep her from thinking about her off-again relationship with the married NYPD homicide detective Bobby Crawford. (Actually, if you want to be technical about it, he's separated, has been for years, but Alison is still getting over her own divorce and she's trying to make good decisions.) However, Bobby’s the best man, and that forces them into all kinds of awkward situations, like dancing cheek to cheek and sharing a bottle of champagne.

Then, when Alison's ex turns up dead, she’s dragged into another murder investigation. Convinced it's the handiwork of one of her former student's parents, a local Mob boss, and afraid for her life, she turns to Bobby for help, but threatening a Mob boss while he's fulfilling a vendetta may not be the best idea.

Romance, humor, and murder are sure to mix and mingle whenever Alison and Bobby link up in Extracurricular Activities, Maggie Barbieri's second charming mystery.

Wonderful

This was another awesome book in this series funny and a great mystery we really love the narrator

Narrator is terrible

The story is good but the narrator has such a whiny voice that I had to stop listening

Love the story, not so much the narration

This is a good story perhaps my new series of choice with one exception-the narrator. I found the narrator to be distracting. I would like more expression, change in tones and the pace. To me it sounds automated. I liked the story so I continued to the end and happy that I did. The ending was unexpected and worth hanging to the dnd of the book.

LOVE THIS SERIES

The main character is so human, quirky and fun. Lots of things going on, hated to loose, well, you gotta hear it to find that out!

Fun and entertaining

Extracurricular Activities is a fun an entertaining cozy mystery with engaging characters and an interesting plot. I look forward to the next book in this series.

Suspense and humor mystery

The plot provides a mystery with unexpected twists. What appears to be two related murders will provide a misdirection to puzzle about. The characters are well developed,and the humor throughout the story will keep the listener smiling, laughing, and head shaking.
This is a must listen; the narrator does an excellent job at telling the story.

I gave it a shot

I rolled my eyes at so much of this book. Most of it was just stupid.

Exciting

I'm really glad we get to enjoy this series with our membership. I wanted to read these books ever since I saw the movies!

Grow up

I think Allison would be a more enjoyable character if she didn't act like a 12 year old with her first crush.

The narrator throws the whole thing off

I absolutely love this author, and I love the books. There is the right amount of humor, and the right amount of mystery and danger. At the same time that all of these things come together, mixed perfectly is the right amount of lightheartedness to the book. However, the narrator sounds like a grandmother. She does not sound anything like a 30 something woman. So what happens is when it’s romantic or it’s flirtatious or she’s reading as the male perspective bad. It really sounds like my grandmother trying to tell me a sexy story. It’s often cringe because she sounds so old.
