As someone who discovered the first book in the series and enjoyed it, I wanted to finish the series. This one is ok. Not the best. Not the worst. A little below par compared to book two. I only say that because if you have listened to both previous books you will see that something has gone amiss. It seems the author lost the voices and personality she had given the characters of Edith and Millie that had made them great for cozy mystery. In this book Edith and Millie aren’t the same. Suddenly Millie gets “dreamy” over the Time Travel Agent? Edith talks like she is suddenly 20-30 years old. You only remember that they are endearing 70 year old knitters when she mentions it. Otherwise you could think they were much much younger through their actions, language and interactions with the setting and plot.
The voice this time - the worst it’s been. Either this piece is not edited for spelling errors or the voice is struggling to read. Example: macho. He is a macho man. Read as “ma-ko”. Millie became mile at times. To a listener, unless you are focused on the audio and nothing else, like knitting or cooking or walking, these kinds of errors really distract and disrupt the story. There were more “wait, what??” moments to rewind and try again to understand it.

Quirky little cozy mystery

There were so many errors and different pronunciations of the same word that it took away from the story, even things like “use” being pronounced “us”, French names being pronounced different ways throughout interchangeably which made it confusing at times and hard to enjoy.
As a story, this was different from the first in the series. Same main characters but this was more the feel of Magic Tree House meets Quantum Leap. I did not enjoy it for my taste mainly because very well known historical figures were characters which took it far above the previous feel of m cozy mystery with some suspension of disbelief for time travel.
I really had to make myself finish it on principle. I am hoping that the third in the series goes back to what originally worked the first time.

Edith and Millie are adorable characters and the story was a great little mystery! I was very hesitant to listen as I avoid the virtual voices. I gave it a few minutes and was shocked at the voice. It has intonation, great pace, and very very few errors in words like read in present tense, read past tense. Definitely worth the listen! On to the next in the series!

It would have been just as great, maybe better, if the graphic sex scenes were cleaned up. It was a great story, and I’m going to begin the second in the series.

This abridged version, (the good parts only) is exactly what it says. Reiner’s narration is perfect! Great story telling!

I always love to hear a biography through the author’s own reading. Martin Short is an inspiration and hearing about his life, his love and of course Nancy has made me laugh, and cry, and smile, I must say.

This is one of my favorite listens. Not only is he a stellar narrator, this format was perfection! Magic meets choose your our adventure meets biography meets humor, with so much love and personality thrown on top. Everything I could have hoped, and even more. I laughed, I felt every emotion, I learned more than I expected and had a lot of fun! This is one that I will need to listen to again, and this time with one of the recipes!
