Hope Hadley Five Book Bundle

By: Meredith Potts

Narrated by: Rachel Carr

This cozy mystery bundle features the first five books in the Hope Hadley series.

Books in this bundle include: Fame Is a Killer, Fishing for a Murderer, Murder of a Yoga Instructor, Drowning in Deceit, and A Not So Merry Christmas Murder.

Hollywood actress Hope Hadley doesn't think that things can get any worse for her. In the last 24 hours, her boyfriend has broken up with her, and her long-running police procedural TV show has been canceled.

When a homicide detective shows up at her door the next morning with news that her ex-boyfriend has been murdered, she realizes that her troubles are just beginning.

She is shocked - not only to learn of her ex's death but also to find out that the police consider her to be a suspect in the killing. Hope soon realizes that the only way to clear her name is to find the real killer herself.

Love this bundle!

I love a good book bundle and this one was perfect! I listened to the first in the series previously and loved it. I love that this series has a bundle option so I can listen to them all. I love the Rachel Carr brings Hope's character to life!
I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.

Average

This is marketed towards a younger audience so it might be wrong for me to review as it’s not intended for me.

As I can potentially see it appealing to my kids. But it’s definitely to simple and straight forward for me

GREAT SERIES!!

Meredith, great series you have here! Love it, super entertaining and I love a good mystery, cozy or otherwise.

Hope Hadley is a great character, loved the story and it was beautifully narrated.
I'm definitely a fan of Meredith's books, and I'm sure you will be too after listening :)

Enjoy! :) Come on, you know you want to!

Good for an airport or long trip

While this is not great literature it is good entertainment for a long trip or sitting at a Airport.

The main character is not someone you can have great love for but the story can hold your
attention and not make you strain your brain.

five book collection

five book collection.
It strikes me that there doesn't seem to be a explanation for the stars that are given. So I thought I'd start giving my take on it.
1 horrible no redeeming qualities.
2 there are redeeming qualities.
3 good worth reading, or well written but not my cup of tea.
4 great but there's something off.
5 loved it.

To be fair I'll review each story in this collection.
Fame is a Killer- A great beginning for a series it gets a 4.
Fishing for a Murderer- this was fun it gets a 3 1/2.
Murder of a Yoga Instructor- this one was interesting it gets a 3.
Drowning in Deceit- this one was a lot of fun 4.
A Not So Merry Christmas Murder- this was ok 3.
Overall this is a fun series. But I ask myself if I'll listen to it again, and I have to say no.

A wonderful collaboration between author&narrator

Fame is a Killer (Hope Hadley #1), my seventh short read/listen from author Meredith Potts. I own both the Kindle & Audible versions of this book so I was able to follow along while being read to. A cute, well-written clean cozy mystery & an enjoyable read.
Fishing for Murder (Hope Hadley #2), my eighth short read/listen from author Meredith Potts. Another cute, well-written clean cozy mystery and an enjoyable read.
Murder of a Yoga Instructor (Hope Hadley #3), my ninth short read/listen from author Meredith Potts. Another cute, well-written clean cozy mystery and an enjoyable read.
Drowning in Deceit (Hope Hadley #4), my tenth short read/listen from author Meredith Potts. Another cute, well-written clean cozy mystery and an enjoyable read.
A Not So Merry Christmas (Hope Hadley #5), my eleventh short read/listen from author Meredith Potts. Another cute, well-written clean cozy mystery and an enjoyable read. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).

Great Collection!

Hope Hadley is a unique character that Meredith Potts has developed. I really enjoyed the collection of stories, and found them to be original. Rachel Carr did a great performance with these stories. I found the premise that Hope was able to participate in the investigations a little far fetched, but still so enjoyable. I requested this review copy audiobook and have voluntarily written this review. I will definitely listen to more books by this author and narrator.

Okay Heroine, Wonderful Narrator

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

This Hope Hadley set was an easy listen. It’s perfect for multitasking as it’s not particularly involved.

Hope can strike as periodically unlikeable. She can have a lack of empathy as quickly evidenced in the first book as she hates being viewed as a suspect, but is aggressive and accusatory when speaking to other suspects. This only happens sometimes, and generally Hope is someone I’d be glad to grab a cocktail with. However, I’m very empathetic and when it happened it took me out of the story straight away.

The narrator is lovely, fun and plucky, as I assume Hope would be herself.

There are so many cozy mysteries out there I don’t think I’ll pick up another Hope book, but I’m very certain they are someone’s cup of tea.

Real life mimics theatre

Everyone has a motive and everyone is a suspect,so you have to question everyone even if you think that you have the answer. An easy listen for those days when you are on lockdown.
