Peppermint Chocolate Murder

A Maple Hills Cozy Mystery, Book 2

De: Wendy Meadows

Narrado por: Becky Boyd

From the moment Nikki first made Maple Hills, Vermont her home, she has had a dark and dangerous cloud follow her. First, she discovered a web of underground Mafia members, and now there is a dead body at The Lodge - a dead body that just happens to hail from her own hometown of Atlanta. As the newest, and arguably the nosiest, neighbor in the area, she knows all eyes will soon turn her way and tongues will start to wag.

Nikki has no choice but to garner her new friends and put her extensive experience as a big city reporter to use, playing a modern-day Nancy Drew against a backdrop of gorgeous hills and the Canadian border. Along with her pseudo partner and maybe love interest, Hawk, a local cop who just happens to be the chief's son, the duo must unravel a mystery that gets more complex by the minute - all the while trying to stay one step ahead of a murderer with murky, yet dire, motives.

And to think...all Nikki really wanted to do when she moved to the quaint town was make chocolates...

Good

Nikki may have move to Vermont, has new friends, Murder and mayhem seem to follow her. Using her skills as a reporter and with friends another one to figure out. Enjoyed and the audio was good. Given audio for my voluntary review

Love that peppermint chocolate fudge!

Making friends in small town is not very easy with so many bad guys around.

Just OK

I listened to this story while doing some simple work. It kept me focused and I completed my task while listening.

A good short detective book

This was a quick read. Sometime I like my detective novels to be quick to the point. And this one definitely did that for me. I like the storyline, I didn’t realize it was that easy to cross over from Vermont into Canada. And again I live in California, what do I know about Canada. LOL. All I know, that we could cross into Mexico very easily somewhere close by San Diego. I would continue reading the series if I can. However, I did not get to read the first book of the series, this is the second book. As for the narrator, this is my first time listen to her work. I was given a free code for the audiobook by audiobook unleashed. For my honest review. I like the narrator just fine. I’m sorry, I have nothing else to say. Maybe I will come back and re-write my review when I hear some more of her work.

Only a little better

This 2nd book in the series is only a little better than the first. But this is only in being able to follow the story line a little better. I'm guessing Nikki has a crystal ball since she solves murders with mere guesses all on her own. Maybe it's just trying to cram too much into too little of a story. I'd rather have more defined characters and plot line.
