Historia
A murdered guest at her first catering event? Definitely not good for DeeDee’s fledgling business. So much for post-divorce new beginnings. When Lisa, a well-known Seattle art gallery owner, is murdered at the event, shock waves ripple through the local Seattle art community. The following day, newspaper reports indicate the cause of death might have been poison in the food DeeDee served. She has to find the killer to save her business and her new life.

One of the best of the series

Such a fun story--it moved along well, with many false clues and turns. Wonderful narration, again, and terrific characters. I couldn't turn it off, and finished the book in one day!! Everytime Mr. Fogg barked, my three dogs chimed it. Can't wait for the next in the series.

The gang's search leads them into the antiques business, where the tricks of the trade are as old as the objects themselves.

Such subtlety with dementia and dying, interspersed with a cracking good mystery. Can't wait for the 5th in the series

Fun story ruined by narration
Revisado: 08-10-23
Too bad the tone of the narrator doesn't fit at all with the main character. It sounded like a child's story-not appropriate for adult subjects at all. And her accents are horrible.
Can't finish this one

Cliched and trite--avoid this book
Revisado: 05-19-23
I cannot finish this book. I would return it, but Audible won't let me. The only positive is the narration by Jonathan Cole--Cindy Kay is impossible to listen to. Even apart from the narration, the story line makes no sense, there is no charisma between the main characters, no logical sequence of events, no tension or anticipation building. The book is just an excuse to be as brash, as crass, as in-your-face as possible. Don't waste a credit on this.

Historia
In this mesmerizing memoir-in-essays, New York Times best-selling author Erica Bauermeister renovates a trash-filled house in eccentric Port Townsend, Washington, and in the process takes listeners on a journey to discover the ways our spaces subliminally affect us. A personal, accessible, and literary exploration of the psychology of architecture, this book is designed for homeowners, remodelers, and those who are simply curious about how our built environments shape who we become.

These are house-and life- lessons for us all
Revisado: 06-07-20
This beautiful memoire is so much more than the renovation of an old house, but the impact that process has on the people involved. Beautifully written, and beautifully performed, I was charmed by this book, wanting to visit this home and befriend the author and her family. It made me look around at my own home and see it with renewed eyes. I loved the audio version so much, I also had to purchase the hard copy.

Historia
Syd never considered the possibility of turning her passion for spinning and knitting into something more than a hobby, but when the unique composition of her wool draws attention, a door is opened - the first among many. Yet even as she ventures out of her comfort zone, Syd finds herself stepping into the embrace of a community rich with love, laughter, friendship...and secrets. And as long-hidden truths are revealed, Syd faces a choice: spin a safety net - or spin decidedly forward and never look back...

Cliche with little character development
Revisado: 01-20-15
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
Someone who isn't paying much attention to the plot or the characters
Would you ever listen to anything by Terri DuLong again?
No--much too trite
What didn’t you like about Kate Udall’s performance?
Whiney
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
No--it was irritating
Any additional comments?
The author threw in every conceivable trite plot twist--adoption, gambling addiction, sex after 50, right to die--but never developed any of it.
