Useful to Start from Volume 1 in the Series

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

I must admit that I found it a little hard to understand what Kim did for a living and what her background was. I think that this book doesn't quite work as a standalone if you want to get to know the main characters well. I made the mistake of starting listening to the series from volume 2 and missed some insightful information. I will go back to listen to Volume 1 and see if that will fill some of the gaps. That said, the storyline is an interesting one, full of action, humorous, and entertaining. I liked the many characters that made their cameo appearance in this book, and enjoyed the perkiness of the main ones. I'm not sure how a guide tour gets involved in solving murder mysteries yet (that is one of the particulars that are not clear in this volume), but hopefully I'll be able to figure that out once I listen to the first volume.
The narration was pleasant and since there are so many characters with so many different accents, the effort of giving each individual his or her own voice, was a great one. Looking forward to listen to the first volume.

Story wasn’t what I expected

The story wasn’t what I expected. It was more of a comic hour and I was expecting that there so many twist and turns it hard to understand it even happened

Excellent

Good mystery with Kim looking for clues of who did it. Good series, best to start with the first one. Enjoyed the narration
Given audio for my voluntary review

Murder Most Malicious in Malcesine

A cozy mystery with European flair. In this quick listen, Kim goes undercover to help solve a case that, at first glance, seems like an accident. Of course there’s more to it than expected.

K T Ashbourne came up with an interesting storyline. The characters are really starting to grow on me.

Claire Nicholls did a nice job with the narration. Everything was pretty straightforward.

Lots of twists and turns

This audiobook had me hook, line, and sinker from the start. I couldn't put it down. It kept me guessing from the start till the end.
There was one part, in the beginning, I got a little confused. It could have been done a little smoother and a little less jumpy. Other than that it was really hard to put it down. I even got in trouble at work. Got caught listening. Lol

Another good K.T book

It was another very good listen can't wait for is the next part. I recommend you to have these books.

Keeps you guessing!

Great suspense...a wide range of possible suspects keeps you guessing right up until the end. If I had one negative thing to say, it would be that I wasn't able to feel any attachment to the main character, Kim.
But the mystery itself is well-written. The cast of characters all had their own small flaws and good attributes as well making them believable. I will definitely be looking for another audiobook from this author.

Time I Cannot get Back

Interesting book, however I really had a hard time following along. I'm not sure if it was because everyone sounded the same to me, with seldom change in tone or the story line just did not peak my interest. I will probably not listen to any other books in this series

Excellent Suspense

You will not take a break for anything. This book is that good. My dinner is damned - I HAD to know who the killer was. A real twist that pulls you in from the first page to the end!!!
