Publisher's summary

Three months has been Gladie Burger's limit when it comes to staying in one place. That's why Gladie is more than a little skeptical when her Grandma Zelda - who is more than a little psychic - recruits her into the family's matchmaking business in the quaint small town of Cannes, California. What's more, Gladie is also highly unqualified, having a terrible track record with romance. Still, Zelda is convinced that her granddaughter has her clairvoyant "gift." But when the going gets tough, Gladie wonders if this gift has a return policy.

When Zelda's neighbor drops dead in his kitchen, Gladie is swept into his bizarre family's drama. Despite warnings from the (distractingly gorgeous) chief of police to steer clear of his investigation, Gladie is out to prove that her neighbor's death was murder. It's not too long before she's in way over her head - with the hunky police chief, a dysfunctional family full of possible killers, and yet another mysterious and handsome man, whose attentions she's unable to ignore. Gladie is clearly being pursued - either by true love or by a murderer. Who will catch her first?

Just enjoy

This is a book meant to kick back and enjoy. I found myself wanting to keep listening whenever I had to stop.

Worst performance ever

I couldn’t get very far into this book because I couldn’t stand to listen to the reader any longer

Lacks Energy

The narrative is written with more energy and levity than the narrator is lending it. Unfortunately I couldn't finish because her Cadence was slow and stilted.

Narration sounds like AI

This is an easy going cozy story as expected. I felt like the story would have been more interesting with a different narration style. Its weird, support character voices seemed fine. However, when the story switches back to the main character its sounds like it's AI produced, very distracting. Shame otherwise I might have continued with the remainder of the series. Maybe just read them instead of audiobooking.

Funny

I enjoyed reading this book so much. I wish it was a few chapters longer so I could still be reading it.

It’s good if you speed up narrator

I really like the book but the narrator is HORRIBLE!! I sped up the book to 1.2 and it sounds normal which makes the book good!

Interesting

Lots of twists and turns. Story was good. There reader sounded like a bot. Very annoying. I think if she hadn’t used a robot voice for the majority of the narration I would have enjoyed the book much more.
