Eat, Pray, Die

De: Chelsea Field

Narrado por: Saskia Maarleveld

From a number one best-selling author: a fresh and funny romantic mystery series about a witty, down-to-earth heroine with a job you've never seen before....

Being an undercover poison taster for the rich and famous might sound glamorous, but for Isobel Avery it means stomaching bad clients and even worse coffee. The one side of the job that lives up to expectations is the money. Which is just as well for Izzy, since she needs an awful lot of it. Who knew when she made a lifelong commitment to a man that it would be one year living with him and the rest of her life paying for it?

But even her scoundrel ex-husband doesn't look so bad compared to her new client. He's competent, condescending, and annoyingly attractive, and Izzy doesn't know whether to sleep with him or poison him herself. Throw in a loan shark, a nosy neighbor, and a murder attempt, and Izzy will have her work cut out for her.

Perfect for fans of Camilla Chafer, Jana DeLeon, Janet Evanovich, Stephanie Bond, Julie Moffett, and JB Lynn.

Awesome

This is one of my favorite book series! The author and the narrorator have both done an amazing, totally entertaining job!

StephaniePlum-ish

really struggled to finish; Glad it was on sale; creative approach to solving murders by identifing food poisens, but stupidity of main character major distraction as well scenerio of another broke female detective making bad decisions. She's thinking about cleaning vomit- covered name brand shoes to sell on ebay for money??? Smarter indulgent male supervisor?? this isn't the series for me.

Surprisingly Good!

I'll be honest- I bought this book because it was cheap and I didn't expect a whole lot. What I got was way better than I expected. This book was funny, fast paced, and I loved the characters. It had a great balance of action, suspense and a little bit of romance thrown in too. I usually listen to audiobooks at night as I fall asleep- but I had to switch to a different one because I liked this so much it was keeping me awake. The narrator also does a great job voicing the main character's Australian accent. I'll definitely be checking out more by this author and narrator!

Awesome characters and performance

My Australian wife judged this talented performance as legit. It is such a fun story!

I love this series!

The first in the series Eat Pray Die is a fun cozy mystery built around a truly unique premise. Who knew the Hollywood rich and famous needed taste testers? Izzy has moved from Australia to SoCal for an urgently needed job. Conner is her hunky boss, Arthur her roommate, Meow the cat, Mr Black the enforcer and Etta the spunky elderly neighbor (who I’m convinced is ex-CIA). All are delightful and add to the fun. Can't wait to listen to the other books.

FYI, for those who have listened to the original Eat Pray Die audio book the biggest change is that the characters finally have their proper accents. It is well worth a second credit.

amazon got me hooked on this series

Downloaded this as one of my monthly free offers from Kindle First Reads that also happened to come with the $1.99 audio. Glad I did. not the typical genre I go for, but I always enjoy listening to Saskia Maarleveld.

This was a relatively quick "read". With my 2 hour round trip commute I got through it in a week. went and downloaded the other 5 books in the series via Kindle whisper sink $1.99. For the length I wouldn't want to waste a full audible credit on these. Maybe if the author would sell it as a box set I would.

As for the story, it was a fun easy murder mystery listen. ending was predictable, but poison taste testing for the rich and famous gave it a good foundation. I would recommend if you looking for something ligt as it doesn't require full attention to follow along. Perfect for commuting in traffic or multitasking at home.

side note: I completely sympathized with Izzy's need for a good espresso.

Good Fun and Entertaining

I'm reviewing so the author Chelsea Field will know how much I have enjoyed listening to her books
Thank You :)

I'm not a writer so please excuse my personal review
I have now listened to the 4 books in the series and loved them all!
I enjoy listening to books like this, you know, where the author doesn't need to rely on sex and profanity to engage readers/listeners. I enjoyed the fun characters and the premise was in my mind very original ~ I've never thought about wickedly poisoning rivals but I do know I am looking forward to book #5. Perfect choice for the narrator, Saskia was brilliant!

funny

I enjoy Chelsea'book book Eat Pray Die. Going to order the next book with my credit.

Wow, what a ride!!!

Eat, Pray, Die has got to be the most unique murder mystery, without being a supernatural, I have read! What a way to make a living! Tasting food for the rich and famous for poison and to distinguish between the poisons! Meanwhile, she owes a loan shark a lot of money thanks to a creepy ex- husband, she is stalked by a creepy rich guy that likes to drug his victims...all while working a case pretending to be a girlfriend but really tasting his food. It is full of craziness and lots of fun!

Great Series!

I'm loving this series! It's funny/sexy without being graphic. Can't wait for audible book 2! #tagsgiving #Thanksgiving #Sweepstakes
