This is my first audio book by this author. I enjoyed listening to it as the narrator made the story come to life. This is an engaging story where I had no problem imagining what was happening. I also enjoyed how the narrator used different tones to add to the story. This was an easy story to listen to and it provided much entertainment. This is a story about Emma and her adventures. This is a story where the characters are connectable and are supportive of each other. I look forward to listening to more from this author. I highly recommend this audio.

Her Mystery will keep you wanting more!

I've read her other books, and didn't realize there was a first! SO of course I had to come read this one as well! I use audibles at work, so I did this one! Emma is such a smart and observant girl. It all started with her mother. Her mother always taught her to be aware of her surroundings. Unfortunately, her mother passed away during a massive fire. Years later, Emma is a very curious teenager who tries to keep observant of her world. Thanks to this, she discovers and helps solve many mysteries and many more. Please try this series out! So worth it!

Mystery

This was an interesting story of Emma who grow up in the late 1800s and after surviving the great Chicago Fire. Emma is observes everything and notices things that no one else does. This leads her to start solving mysteries and solve a crime no one knew was a crime. I did feel like there could have been a bit more character development as some things I felt like were skimmed over. Overall, this was a fun listen with a twist at the end.

Adventure Awaits!!

This audio was fun to listen to. Enjoyable story and likable characters as we are thrown in after the Great Chicago Fire. Emma is all about adventure and has a keen sense in her way of thinking for sure. Emma is helping to run her family bakery and also help deliver as well…Emma discovers when helping deliver bakery goods is there a robbery being taken place?? Mystery, adventure and a notebook this story is fun and enjoyable!

I love this series. I read the other books and didn't realize I was missing book 1. So thankfully I was able to get it. Although I had read the others before this, I never felt like I was missing anything. I loved every minute of this. The narrator was perfect for this book. It made listening a relaxing time for me. My favorite part was the recipes included at the end. I can't wait to give some a try. Pick this up today. You won't be disappointed!!!!!

Notebook Mysteries ~ Emma (Notebook Mysteries Book 1) Audio Book by Kimberly Mullins

Emma is the first audio book in the Notebook Mysteries Series and I absolutely loved listening to it. This is my first audiobook by this author and I definitely can’t wait to listen to more by her. The narrator did a wonderful job of making you feel as if you are a part of the story. The narrator did a great job of changing the tone of their voice with each different character. This is a fun yet entertaining story that takes you on quite the adventure as we follow Emma. I found myself lost in the narration and couldn’t bring myself to stop listening until I finished. I highly recommend listening to this story and look forward to reading/listening to more by this author.

Great teen mystery

This was a great travel audible book. Emma, age 16, works in the family bakery and holds her own when things get rough. Now, even though she has been trained, she has no experience. But that does not stop her from getting involved. She has a habit of writing things down that seem out of place. Actually that's clever for someone her age. This was a high energy suspenseful story. Questions asked, and questions answered is what you will find throughout this story. The author has quite the imagination and her story keeps everyone entertained. This is a great story for teens and young readers alike. This is a historical novel, which generally I don't read, but this one drew my interest. I'm happy I took the chance, and look forward to reading the others in this series.

Does the case go cold?

I loved listening to this title! The narrator has a soothing voice and the story line is fantastic! Emma is growing up in a city recovering from the great fire and as she grows as a person she grows as a character. From the very beginning readers are sucked in and wanting to know what happens next! I am looking forward to more in this series!

Outstanding Story

Emma is an exciting story based in 1881,. She is a young girl that gets herself involved in mysteries and adventures that she probably shouldn't. But hey, she's an adventurous, brave and courageous young girl that enjoys solving problems. The story is well-written and full of mystery and suspense. It's even full of good sounding food. The mystery focuses around a bakery so there are recipes for some yummy deserts. Emma introduces us to her friends that will help her solve the mystery. This is an fun and quick listen for a teen. The narration is okay. I do wish there could have been a little more variety to the voice. The narration was a tad monotone. Overall, it was a good experience and I do recommend this for your teen/youth age group. Fun book that I enjoyed.
