Reseñas de la Crítica

“A highly enjoyable book in a brand-new series, I am loving this cast of characters - 5 stars!” (Rachel’s Random Reviews)

Village life and intrigue in Cumbria

Hattie inherits a house in Hollywood from her Aunt, and moves back to the district of her youth, after the death of her husband. On arrival a friend suggests she get a job, and she sets up a PI company to investigate the suicide of her neighbour's husband. She uncovers 2 more suicides in the village that could possibly be linked. The character building is lovely, and you are drawn into the affairs of everyone in the village as the mystery unfolds. The story is solid from beginning to the last words, and holds many laughs. I really enjoyed this one and, can't wait for the next in the series.

Fun Listen!

Hattie Goes to Hollywood by Caroline James first grabbed my attention by the title, then the blurb and then sample. This is a very good cozy mystery with some quirky characters. I loved the imagery, and could envision so many details by the descriptions. Gill Mills brought the characters to life with her voice. This book is a standalone listen and the start of a new series. I will definitely listen to more by this author and narrator.

Village life

Charming story of Hattie who becomes a private eye to keep busy and solves the village mysteries
Well narrsted

Truly delightful

This was such a fun story! It had the twists and turns and unexpected finish of any good Amateur Sleuth tale. The characters were well developed and easy to like or dislike as the story progressed.
But the Handsome Drake caught my fancy. Every single time that Duck quacked I chuckled. And his quirky heroism made me dream of having a pet Quacker!
The narrator was great! I truly enjoyed her performance. I will definitely seek out more books in this series!

Thoroughly enjoyed it

This is the first time I've read a Cozy Mystery and I thoroughly enjoyed it. This was the perfect escape read during this crazy time. The characters were great and exactly what you would find in a small town. And even though the mysteries were, for the most part, a bit predictable, I really enjoyed this book and would definitely read more of Hattie's adventures in the future.

Quirky TI uncovers secrets in Hollywood Parish

I simply read the title and figured that this book would be about a woman from England going to Hollywood, California. Once I got listening, I had to laugh at myself. There is more than one place with that name in the world with that name.
This story is about a woman who inherits a cottage from her aunt after she had lost her husband. She decides to move there and start a new life .. Her new neighbour puts her on the path of being a private investigator by asking her to find out the reason for a mysterious death. Soon all sorts of secrets are unveiled and the new PI is started on her career. I really enjoyed this book with its mixture of mystery,, romance and funny parts..
The narration was good and I would recommend it to everyone..

Pretty good

A strange start to the book and I was concerned if I would be able to finish it, but it developed well and in the end I enjoyed it. Small village, lots of gossip and everybody sticking their noses where they don;t belong, and in the end enjoyable
