Story
High school wasn’t a grand time for everyone, but when a group of friends decide to meet up at a B and B ahead of their 10-year reunion, old grudges resurface, and one of them ends up dead. Now the owners, a kindly older couple, are on the hook for the accidental death due to anaphylaxis, but they insist no mistakes were made on their part. Fortune is asked to look into the situation before the inept local sheriff railroads the couple or simply allows gossip to run them out of business, which will cost them their home. Swamp Team 3 heads to Voodoo Island to find a way to clear the couple.

Overall a good story
Reviewed: 11-22-24
I've listened to all of the Miss Fortune books so far...and Cassandra Campbell is one of the best narrators around. However, her pronunciations of certain "French" names has always irritated me. She's pronounced the name "Hebert" a number of different ways & I don't remember a single one being the way any Hebert I've ever known pronounced it, which is "Ay-bear". Benoit is another name that is particularly grinding for me to hear. I have always & only heard it pronounced 'Ben-wah". Otherwise, Campbell does a stellar job on these books. I have enjoyed them all. It's a small complaint on my part and as a whole, it's a good story & presented well.

The characters in this series, especially the main ones, are all juvenile and under developed bordering on absolutely stupid. I would hate to live anywhere near these people. I thought they'd get better over time, that they have stayed the same and gotten worse in some regards. They have stagnated and this writer hasn't put any effort into character or plot development. The reader isn't any better. She has limited range on doing characters & her idea of emphasis only lends itself to a high pitched squeaking voice that's totally over done. Overall, the writing, characters & narrator are all quite annoying. Good thing Audible is giving them away for free.

Reviewed: 08-26-24
And she never learns. She makes the most unbelievably stupid decisions and no matter what her experience, she never learns to do things differently. The story is annoyingly full of stuff that doesn't really move the story along and doesn't enhance the story in any way. The reader is constantly using a high pitched, shrill voice, for emphasis, I assume. It gets old in a hurry. She isn't very good at doing different voices for different characters. This one was worth the money because it was free.

The entire town of Cranberry Cove is popping with excitement. Monica Albertson is baking cranberry goodies by the dozen, and shopkeepers are decking out their storefronts for the first annual Winter Walk - an event dreamed up by the mayor to bring visitors to the town during a normally dead time of year. But it's the mayor who turns up dead during the grand opening ceremony, his lifeless body making its entrance in a horse-drawn sleigh.

A lot of filler
Reviewed: 08-17-24
Without all the extra, unnecessary filler, this would be a nice short story. The prattle doesn't move the story along or develop characters. The main character is pretty much an air head who never EVER thinks of consequences. She is pretty irritating because of that. Everyone in this series so far squeezes one another's arms to the point of it being overdone. This book (and the series so far) are tolerable only because these were free.

It seems that Sam Culbert, who ran the farm while Jeff was deployed overseas, had some juicy secrets that soon prove fatal, and Jeff is ripe for the picking as a prime suspect.

She's lucky to have a helpful staff to provide support - as well as a handsome ghost named Jack standing invisibly by her side. Unfortunately, while the revelers head out on haunted tours, have their fortunes told, or grab a drink at Brews and Broomsticks, a killer walks among them. When Charlene discovers Morganna, a local Wiccan, dead in her shop, she starts getting cozy with the local coven, looking for clues to locate the crafty culprit.

Too many things to overlook
Reviewed: 07-27-24
The author & narrator both seem a little lazy with this one. The author couldn't be bothered to spend 5 seconds to look up the legal drinking age in Massachusetts...it's 21. Here, this B&B owner gives whiskey to two 20 year-old guys without batting an eye. As in book 1, the MC refers to her "classes" in marketing that she took in college rather than any experience gained from her 20 year career. The relationships are all expedited, going from meeting to absolutely committed in a matter of pages/hours. This detracts from the credibility of the story and makes this character, Charlene, come off as absolutely stupid.
As for the narrator: Her pronunciation of the character named Jimenez as JIM-an-ez, is really annoying. Her attempts at accents are cringeworthy. Sometimes she will start off with an accent (weak for all that) and it completely disappears by the end of the sentence. I don't know if these people had any editors or anyone overseeing the quality of the writing & narration, but they certainly need someone to fill that role. I'm glad I got this book for free & didn't have to pay for it.

A grieving young widow, Charlene needed a new start - so she bought a historic mansion, sight unseen, and drove from Chicago to New England to start turning it into a bed-and-breakfast. On her first night in the house, she awakens to find a handsome man with startling blue eyes in her bedroom. Terror turns to utter disbelief when he politely introduces himself as Jack Strathmore - and explains that he used to live here - when he was alive. He firmly believes that someone pushed him down the stairs three years ago, and he won't be able to leave until someone figures out who.

Overdone Story
Reviewed: 07-23-24
Very much like a lot of other 'ghost' stories. This one is a little harder to get into than others because the storyline is basically in fast forward. The main character is impetuous and doesn't ever really think things through. The basic timeline in this is little more than 2-4 weeks and already the woman gets over her grief about her dead husband & falls completely in love with her ghost. It might be better if it wasn't expedited the way it is. And if the character was more likeable and little less stupid. I'm just glad I got the book for free, which made it worth reading. I would be much more disappointed if I had paid for it.

The narrator has an annoying habit of doing a super high pitched voice a LOT of the time. Especially for women's voices. It's distracting & irritating. Otherwise, the story wasn't bad.

I really wish they'd figure out a way to cut out or minimize all the very loud & distracting inhalations on this recording. They are just horrible & really take away from the story. Other than that, this one isn't too bad.
