Getaway with Murder

The Mountain Lodge Mysteries, Book 1

De: Diane Kelly

Narrado por: Holly Adams

Getaway with Murder is the first in a cozy series from Diane Kelly set in a lodge in the Blue Ridge Mountains, where secrets hide behind every hill.

As if hitting the half-century mark wasn't enough, Misty Murphy celebrated her landmark birthday by amicably ending her marriage and investing her settlement in a dilapidated mountain lodge at the top of the Blue Ridge Mountains. With the old inn teetering on both a bluff and bankruptcy, she must have lost her ever-loving mind.

Luckily, handyman Rocky Crowder has a knack for rehabbing virtual ruins and for doing it on a dime, and to Misty's delight, the lodge is fully booked on opening night, every room filled with flexible folks who'd slipped into spandex and ascended the peak for a yoga retreat with plans to "namastay" for a full week. Misty and her guests are feeling Zen - at least until the yoga instructor is found dead.

With a killer on the loose and the lodge's reputation hanging in the balance, Misty must put her detective skills to the test. Only one thing is as clear as a sunny mountain morning - she must solve the crime before the lodge ends up, once again, on the brink.

Very enjoyable to listen

Enjoyed the story and characters. The performance was great, loved the voices she added to characters and the kitty. Story was good enjoyable mystery and very likable characters.

What a delightful new series!

A fun new series based in a unique location. I thoroughly enjoyed the book and hope to see more very soon.

Yawnnnnnnnn

Was it the slow, off cadence. The uninspired dialogue? The narrator’s interpretation? All of these? Whatever it was, I’m not inspired to continue this series although I have enjoyed all of Kelly’s other series.

not for me

Getaway with Murder has a slow pace flat characters and uninspired plot. I returned it.

Aaacckk! Refund Please!

If you like cutesy over plot, this is for you. I am an animal lover and at times, have enjoyed novels where pets played a central character. This is not one if them. I could not even make it to the end of chapter 1.
