Home Run

Be prepared for a long read, that will hook you and not let go even when the book says the end. Each of the series keeps on going with the story getting bigger and more twists and turns than spaghetti. I would recommend this book.“I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.

On the Road to Death's Door

On the Road to Death's Door: On the Road Mystery Series, Book 1
: M J Williams

A cozy mystery with a strong female protagonist.The husband is a bit scatterbrained but intriguing. Emily is a recently retired police officer. She and her husband set out in their newly inherited RV to travel the country. People and events from their past re-enter their lives setting up this story. A body turns up in an unusual place and the investigating begins. Many twists and turns bring the listener into the story. A great way to spend a Saturday.

The narration was well done.The characters were well portrayed. Jane Oppenheimer brought the story to life.

I would recommend this to anyone that enjoys cozy mysteries.

Solid mystery.

A retired police officer and her husband acquire a motor home and hit the road. Naturally, they almost immediately have a corpse literally fall at their feet. Worse, they know the victim. Their story is so improbable, the local sheriff is immediately suspicious. I thought sure I knew whodunnit, but I was wrong. See if YOU can figure it out.

The premise (nomadic retired cop) has potential. It'll be interesting to see where the author takes this series.

Great cozy mystery

This book is a fun, smart read, with plenty of twists and turns to make it completely worth your time!

A weekend reunion of college buddies known as the "factious four" turns into an investigative mystery for a retired sheriff when one turns up dead.

The story has enough details and dialog that the characters and scenery become real. The characters are likable and real. As the story progresses there are just enough hints as to whodunnit without giving it away until the end.

Jane Oppenheimer has a very easy listening voice. Her narration helps to make the characters and story come alive.

Grab a cup of coffee and keep the pot on as you curl up and listen or read to your hearts content, because you aren't going to want to put this one down!

Fun story

What a fun cozy mystery. Emily and Stan are great characters and I hope I can read more about this couples adventures. Jane does a wonderful job of narrating this book. I would listen to more read by Jane she is great. This story takes place in Door County in Wisconsin I have never been here but after listening to this book I would like to visit. I received this audio book free with the understanding I would leave an honest review.

Great Who Dunnit! Great Narration!

Where does On the Road to Death's Door rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Top 5 definitely!

What other book might you compare On the Road to Death's Door to and why?

In Milady's Bed Chamber. Both very good who dunnit mysteries. However, "Milady" takes place in London.

What about Jane Oppenheimer’s performance did you like?

Being a female narrator, she did a great job portraying the male voices, of which there were many. I always knew who was talking even when there were 6 people in a scene.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I think the moments when Stan discovered something that reminded him of Father Vic and it made him teary eyed.

Any additional comments?

This audiobook was given to me for free by the Producer / Author in exchange for an honest review.

WOULD MAKE A WONDERFUL MOVIE!

I really enjoyed this road trip gone wrong story. One murder after another with the perfect balance of not being able to figure out who done it from the start. Really good, strong, female character. I can say after listening to book 1 I will look into book 2. I recommend this audio book to anyone who enjoys a good murder mystery with some humor.

"'Bout time you got here, Miss Marple!"

What a delightful book. Retired Michigan police officer, Emily Remington, and her history professor husband, Stan, have inherited a ten years old camper van and intend to put it to good use, enjoying a fun holiday without hotel bills. They are also meeting up with old college friends: the four men of the couples had once been known as the Fractious Four. But everything starts to go wrong when one of their number, a priest, turns up not at their prearranged dinner but dead, rolled up in an old carpet. Then another murder victim is found at a local hotel, Stan and his other surviving friends instantly become suspects and Emily jumps into police mode, to the annoyance of the local inspector - well, for the reader, at least, it's going to be a memorable holiday.

The characters are all beautifully portrayed and the emotional chaos of an anticipated holiday and reunion of friends totally disrupted is perfectly observed, with excellent, natural and, sometimes, humerous dialogue. This is further brought to life by Jane Oppenheimer's narration. The conversations are well nuanced, the text read clearly and well paced. Her reading gives even greater reality to this warm hearted, inclusive book - and the mystery story is pretty good, too.

I was very fortunate in that i was gifted this book by the rights holder, via Audiobook Boom. Thank you. This is a gentle, pleasurable stand alone story which I recommend to anyone looking for an enjoyable way to pass a few hours, perhaps whilst on holiday!

Thoroughly enjoyable thriller/mystery

Would you consider the audio edition of On the Road to Death's Door to be better than the print version?

I am not familiar with the print version, so I cannot compare.

What did you like best about this story?

I liked that it was easy to follow and transitioned well.

Which scene was your favorite?

I liked when the sheriff asked the main character if she was sure she and her husband were napping the whole time in their RV, and she said, "Well, not the whole time!" and it didn't dawn on him right away what she meant.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I would've liked to listen to it all in one day, but the length would make that hard to do (8 hours).

Any additional comments?

The story was great and made a lot of sense. The description of setting was done very well. However, I did feel the plot had some predictable qualities to it (involving the senator, for one, in a cover up of his past). I'm also a picky reader and don't necessarily like phrases like "shrugged his/her shoulders," A tighter edit would fix these problems, but they weren't so frequent as to keep the story from flowing. Thank you again for a great "read!"
