To the Tome of Murder

A Beyond the Page Bookstore Mystery, Book 7

De: Lauren Elliott

Narrado por: Lauren Ezzo

Three weeks before Thanksgiving, bookshop owner Addie Greyborne already has a full plate - and a killer on her case....

Addie's determined to turn a seemingly ordinary November in coastal Greyborne Harbor into one for the books. The windows of her shop display carefully curated works by American writers, including a rare selection of traditional holiday recipes from the influential 19th-century publication Godey's Ladies Magazine. And then there's the town's Civil War-era themed cooking and baking competition, with a hefty cash prize and free publicity going to the winning dish....

But when she finds her cousin's boyfriend murdered, a stunned Addie reluctantly realizes she may be the only person who can blow the cover off a grisly crime. With so many unanswered questions surrounding the victim's death, Addie must figure out the strange connection between a mysterious vintage briefcase, the disappearance of a first-edition copy of Sarah Josepha Hale's famous nursery rhyme "Mary Had a Little Lamb", and a dangerously well-read culprit....

Poor Narrator

I have loved this series, but the new narrator is awful. All the voices sound the same. I hope I can finish this book.

bad narrator

i enjoyed the story, but do not like the new narrator. she is abrasive and ads emphasis in places its not needed.

Dislike new narrator

The new narrator distracts from the story. Also makes me like the main character less.

hopeful for new narrator

Struggled through the book because of the narrator.

Miss Karen White to complete the series

Narrator

I don’t know why you would switch narrators in the middle of a series. Not to mention one that doesn’t differentiate her voice between characters. They all sound the same. Hard to tell who’s speaking. Very very disappointed. Still determining if I want to return the book. 😖😖

Good story

The story line is a good one. The narrator is not as good as she could be. I really liked the previous narrator for this series.

Distracting Narration by New Narrator

I found the new narrator to be overly dramatic in many parts.
Some surprising pronunciations.

The new narrator

What a shock to hear new narration on a series I have really enjoyed. The narrator makes all female voices sound the same, as she also does for the males. Last narrator you could easily distinguish between characters by a change of voice. Now the male characters don't evem sound like men! And she accentuates where she shouldn't! I loved this series, but I don't think I can finish the series.

Touching series

This book like all the rest was great. Very touching, heartfelt, family history. This book had the excitement, the laughs and the tears. I hope that Lauren Elliot doesn’t stop here, there are so many unanswered questions. I now this one was wrote this year, but I just can’t wait until the next one comes out. As soon as it does I will surely read it as soon as it comes out. This series would make a good TV sleuthing series.

The story was great, Narration was hard to hear.

Love the series but why would you switch narrators? I am having a hard time following the story with the change.
