Narrated
by: Charlie Norfolk
(A Flora Steele Mystery, Book 1)
In the quiet little town of Abbymead you
will find a bookshop, the “All’s Well”.
The proprietor Flora Steel has inherited the place from her beloved late
Aunt Violet. While Flora does her best
to keep the shop running, a dead body found between the stacks has dire effects
on business, as well as, of course, the poor young chap lying there dead. Flora
senses something is not right with the sudden death and enlists the help of the
village recluse and crime author Jack Carrington to delve deeper into the
mystery in the hopes of getting business back on track.
The
story moves along at a decent pace and keeps you interested. You get a good look at the determination of Flora
and for those that like a bit of romance mixed into the mystery there is that
as well. There are a few avenues for suspects
and motives so the reader has a few theories they can follow. The book does have a nice English cozy feel.
The
narrator does a nice job overall. The
character voices can be distinguished but not greatly so. The articulation and speed are on point.
I would give this book four stars as I would recommend it to others looking for a nice cozy read that sets the stage for the series. ⭐⭐⭐⭐
