Nothing heats up Old Town quite like the annual Pie Festival, and this year is no exception, especially since Sophie's professional rival, Natasha Smith, is barred from participating. Sophie, meanwhile, has been asked to oversee the pie eating contest. But the drama really rolls out when celebrity judge, Patsy Lee Presley, host of television's most popular cooking show, bites the crust during the competition, and Sophie's friends are suspected of the crime. As the folks of Old Town dish, the tough truth about Patsy's meteoric rise to domestic stardom begins to leak.

Look up pronunciations, please

This is not the first time I’ve listened to books in this series. The performance is good. But it irks me every time she says the cat's name. It’s not mo-ki. It’s moh-chee. OK, it’s got an ''e' at the end. But it should still be pronounced like the sweet Hawaiian treat. Cringe worthy.

Any additional comments?
These are pleasant stories, well read. But, while I understand some occasional mispronunciations, you’d think something as important to the geographical area of the book as Mackinac Island and the bridge would warrant some instruction as to how to pronounce the word, Mackinac. I’m only part way through and wonder how many more times I’m going to have to yell, “Mackinaw” at my car radio.

When Mattie Winston catches her husband Dr. David Winston receiving some very special loving care from R.N. Karen Owenby, she quits her job and moves out. Mattie's best friend Izzy offers her a place to stay and suggests she'd be a natural as deputy coroner. Now, instead of taking patients' pulses, Mattie's weighing their hearts and livers. But Mattie's first homicide call turns out to be for none other than Nurse Karen, and even though she saw her ex in a heated argument with the newly deceased the night before, she refuses to believe David could be a killer.

Reader has problems pronouncing words correctly
Revisado: 09-05-16
Where does Working Stiff rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This book is OK - I'm still listening to the series. I'd really like it, though, if the reader had read through her material and looked up words she didn't know to find out how to pronounce them.
Any additional comments?
The reader's voice is great for this book - easy to listen to. But she's clueless when it comes to some words. She should know to look up the pronunciation of words for which she does not know the meaning to learn how to pronounce them. Examples: She pronounced (in at least two books) the word "cache" as if it were "cachet." "Cacophony" was "cack - a - FOE - nee." And I'm really getting tired of hearing HIPAA spelled out rather than pronounced "hip - puh." Lots more; those are just the most egregious.

Baseball may be America’s official favorite pastime, but for Martha Rose and her friends, quilting is far more fun… and a lot less dangerous. A diamond brocade pattern is more quilter Martha Rose’s style than a baseball diamond - especially when it comes to the new eyesore of a stadium ruining her lovely San Fernando Valley neighborhood. Martha doesn’t know a bunt from a bundt cake, but when she stumbles upon the battered body of baseball coach Dax Martin, she doesn’t need a scorecard to know it’s foul play.

Narrators need to be literate
Revisado: 12-31-14
Would you try another book from Mary Marks and/or Dara Rosenberg?
Yes to Mary Marks. I would totally avoid any book by this narrator.
What did you like best about this story?
I like the character development and concise but clear scene descriptions.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
Yuck! First of all, this squeaky little teenie bopper comes on trying to be the voice of a 55-year old. OK, that happens frequently no matter how much it detracts from a book. But this narrator doesn't know some basic words. Corpse of Engineers??? It wouldn't have been so bad except that the CORPS of Engineers comes up in this story a lot. I was driving while listening and wanted to smash my speakers! Totally ruined this book for me.
Was Knot in My Backyard worth the listening time?
No. The story is all right, but the time listening to it was wasted.
Any additional comments?
Don't waste your money on the audio version. I did and now will have to buy a kindle copy.
