Refreshingly Christian Mysteries

The mysteries were shorter than I realized they were going to be. However, each one was unique and well plotted out. I loved the generosity shown by each of the characters and their caring nature. The romance was so sweet between certain characters that I really enjoyed the cherishing Christian qualities. I immediately looked for more Donna Doyle audiobooks to purchase!

Great series

I love the series of short stories. Characters are all lovable. Narration was excellent. Look forward to reading more by this author.

loveable characters

Wish the books were longer. I didn't except to like these books so much. Most of the time when the books are short you don't get enough time with the characters to become endearing. The story line flowed from one book to the next easily. Ending of the last book made me cry, I didn't expect that. Wish there were more books, it would be fun to see what mischief Lily and Blake could get into together. A honeymoon capper would have been fun!

Voice over actor was wonderful

The first several of the books were okay. They got better over time but still very predictable.

Less than Cozy.

Immature writing. A high school writing project? Even at a 12 in 1 at the cost of audible books this one should have been a free be or better yet not published. The words of the author do not coincide with the actions taking place. There is a constant reiteration of a kind of "brilliance and decency" nothing taking place quantifies this. The main character is less than extraordinary but gets verbiage galore stating she is. The author has the main character turn religion then political which does nothing except add a cringe factor on-top of the lacking story and characters. I guess the young nazis were just fighting for their country not partaking in genocide and are equal to the English soldiers whose country was invaded? Story line is beyond underwhelming and the love story is weirdly not seductive.
I usually try to give 5 stars but after 11 books I just couldn't make it through the last. I figure the books will likely get more reads since people who read this will be wondering what I'm getting on about. Hoping the authors next go will be more thoughtful.

Disappointed

I’ll like the cozy mysteries. They’re easy to listen to and enjoyable. This heroine is very annoying though. Apparently being a mystery writer gives you “training” in detective work and allows you to insert yourself into any situation. Lily is very judgemental regarding a profession she has had no exposure to. I’ll finish the books but I won’t be getting any more from this author.

The reader was great. The stories were not believable.

I really like the reader she was fun to listen to made the stories worth listening to. But as far as the storylines themselves go, I don’t know what I was supposed to be listening to, but they weren’t murder she wrote and they weren’t cozy. they were really bad or maybe first level Read throws if someone’s idea of a cozy.
