Acerca de esta escucha
A new audiobook in the Library Lover's mystery series from the New York Times best-selling author of On Borrowed Time.
Small-town librarian Lindsey Norris must solve a murder and a missing persons case involving two reclusive brothers.
Not his brother's keeper
Delivering books to the housebound residents of the Thumb Islands, just a short boat ride from the town of Briar Creek, library director Lindsey Norris has befriended two elderly brothers, Stewart and Peter Rosen. She enjoys visiting them in their treasure-filled, ramshackle Victorian on Star Island until she discovers that Peter has been killed and Stewart is missing. Now she's determined to solve a murder and find Stewart before he suffers his brother's fate.
Includes bonus short story "An Unlikely Meeting".

With a sprawling rent-free apartment directly above the Village Blend, her cat Java by her side, and plenty of coffeehouse redecorating ideas, Clare is thrilled to return to work. Until she discovers the assistant manager unconscious in the back of the store, coffee grounds strewn everywhere.

Kate McGuire’s life was sweet in Manhattan before she lost her restaurant job and fiancé both. But sometimes that’s just the way the cookie crumbles, and soon she finds herself starting from scratch in the island town of Coral Cay, Florida. It has everything she’s looking for: sunny beaches, friendly locals, and a Help Wanted sign in the bakery shop window. Once she convinces the shop’s crusty owner Sam Hepplewhite to hire her, Kate can’t tie on her apron fast enough. Little does she know that trouble, like warm dough, is on the rise.

Reseñas de la Crítica
“Sure to please cozy readers everywhere.” (Ellery Adams, New York Times best-selling author)
“A winning formula.” (Library Journal)
“A sparkling setting, lovely characters, books, knitting, and chowder! What more could any reader ask?” (Lorna Barrett, New York Times best-selling author)
Meanwhile, Lindsey still has to run the library and live her life. The scenes that take place with the members of the Crafternoon Club and library staff are a lot of fun. I especially loved the scene where Beth, the children’s librarian, goes undercover to check out the sexy new male librarian at another library in the area. Since he started his new job, the number of children attending Beth’s story hour has decreased, especially those being brought by their mothers, whom Beth suspects of selecting the other library’s story hour to get their fill of eye candy. So Beth takes her Curious George doll as a pretend baby and Lindsey wears a wig and dresses as an old lady.
This book has some great parts, but the story is a bit light, with less substance than the prior books in this series. The other books have Lindsey use her librarian skills to help solve the mysteries, but other than looking up old newspaper articles, she does not demonstrate her librarian skills here, whether by doing research for the case or by serving as the library director, other than her undercover visit to the other library.
The two main things that have endeared this series to me are the creative ways Lindsey has used her librarian skills to help solve the mystery and the delightful characters we see throughout the book. I already discussed the disappointing lack of research, but I did enjoy the characters. We see the library employees together in the library more often, and their interaction was fun. Further, the ladies of the Crafternoon Club give extra fun to the book.
In addition to the novel, we get a cute short story, “An Unlikely Meeting,” featuring Lindsey’s dog, Heathcliff.
I really enjoyed the performance of Allyson Ryan in narrating the audio edition of this book. She brings the book to life and has a voice that just seems to be that of Lindsey in her reading, yet she also uses great voices for the other characters as well. For example, she voices the characters of senior citizen women to whom she gives really unique voices. I was thoroughly impressed by the contribution that Ryan gives to the book.
Despite my previously stated concerns, A Likely Story gave me nine hours of delightful entertainment. I found myself carrying my phone around everywhere just so that I could keep listening to this book. I give it four stars.
