Fun and an easy listen

I listen to this genre to relax---I do not expect great fiction but I do want to be mildly entertained; this book did the trick. Cupcakes and murder and a cold glass of milk!

Sweet Cozy Mystery

This was a yummy, cozy mystery! There were many surprises that kept the story from being predictable. I enjoyed the friendship between Melanie, Tate, and Angie.
Angie's brothers were a hoot!
I liked the narrator too.

Such a fun book!!

What made the experience of listening to Sprinkle with Murder the most enjoyable?

I loved the storyline of this fun mystery! I have never read or listened to any books by Jenn McKinlay and I am so thrilled to have found a new author I love!

What did you like best about this story?

Fun little storyline. I did predict the ending, but it was still super fun to listen to! There is no real naughty language, I think they swear a couple of times, but it's not a constant. There's also no love scenes which I am glad for. My kids are around when I'm listening to books so I love books that are clean to listen to!

Which character – as performed by Susan Boyce – was your favorite?

Melanie.

The friendships

I Loved it! Funny scary intriguing. Can’t wait to read more from this author. Excellent work.

Love Jenn McKinlay

I have read other books by Jenn McKinlay and loved the humor and writing and and characters. This book is right up there with the others I have read.

WOW!

Wow! So very nice! It was pleasure listening to this first story of the series. Wow!

Whodunit that was disappointingly predictable!

Would you try another book from Jenn McKinlay and/or Susan Boyce?

Probably not.

What was most disappointing about Jenn McKinlay’s story?

I was really enjoying the book until a certain character was introduced and mannerism were so over-the-top, it was very easy to predict who the killer was. I was hoping to have found a light, but well written mystery, until it was obvious who the murderer was.

Was Sprinkle with Murder worth the listening time?

Yes, up until I easily figured out who the murderer was and it ruined the whole story for me.

fun book to listen to

this was a fun little book it made me hungry here in about all the different cupcakes it would be so neat if this was a real place enjoyed the book I know you will too

Fun, light mystery read

A quick read, fun to guess who the murderer is with some great sarcastic jokes thrown in!

Sprinkle with murder

The book was good and I enjoyed most of it except toward the last half. Not sure if the narrator developed a lisp when she became over excited or the audio cut off parts of words such as asked, which became ath and agth, and frosted cupcakes became froth,etc. etc. Certain words became much more mispronounced/cut off toward the end and I found I was dreading the mispronunciations/ or audio difficulty more than anticipating the conclusion. Other than that the storyline was good.
