After a cupcake-flinging fiasco at a photo shoot for a local magazine, Melanie Cooper and Angie DeLaura agree to make amends by hosting a week-long corporate boot camp at Fairy Tale Cupcakes. The idea is the brainchild of billionaire Ian Hannigan, new owner of SWS, a lifestyle magazine that chronicles the lives of Scottsdale's rich and famous. He's assigned his staff to a team-building week of making cupcakes for charity. It's clear that the staff would rather be doing just about anything other than frosting baked goods.

Distracting
Where does Flipped for Murder rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
I haven't a problem with the storyline. My issue is with the narrator. The story is about a young woman, the narrator sounds like an older lady whose voice has a hint of shakiness in it. It makes it hard to focus on the story and what is going on. My mind keeps picturing an older lady. I have to remind myself she is not.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Laural Merlington?
absolutely not.

Incredibly Bland
Flipped for Murder had the potential to be entertaining, if only the characters were not so incredibly bland. In particular, country store/café owner Robbie was hard-working yet boring as hell, however none of the small town residents were unique or engaging.
Robbie did not seem to fit into the small, mid-western town where her mother grew up. She kindly rescued a stray cat but did not take the animal to a vet (anyone in food service should be more health conscious); she went for a walk in a state forest without being aware of the possible dangers (wild animals, hunting season).
When there were several attempts on her life, Robbie seemed too dense to realize that her life was seriously in danger. I really expected that a woman in her late 20s who had the ability to open her own business would have more common sense. I wanted to care what happened to Robbie but I could hardly stay awake.

Antiques, Atmosphere, Allegations and Arrests
A fun and interesting murder mystery set near Nashville, Indiana . . . an artsy, touristy area in the southern part of the Hoosier State . . . known for the beauty of its fall leaves, country crafts and down-home feeling, folks travel there in droves . . . myself included . . . not far from the state border with Kentucky . . . plenty of hillbillies reside in Indiana, having crossed the Ohio River, north into Indiana . . . so it is the perfect setting for Robbie Jordan's Country Store/Restaurant, Pans 'n Pancakes . . . I agree with other reviewers, that the narrator's voice sounds a bit old for a 27 year-old woman, but do like the quaint, country sound of it . . . another irritation is the author's obvious dislike of firearms, which lends nothing to the story, and her "new age" religious beliefs, which not explored to great lengths, also add nothing to the book . . . the overall tale of the murder, townsfolk, Robbie's family . . . and discovery of her past are great . . . well worth the listen . . .

Had a really hard time with the narrators voice. The character in the book was supposed to be younger but voice did not match. Very disconcerting. Had a hard time feeling like I could get lost in the story.

Tasty muredr
This is. A fantastic sweet and fun story of a young woman who 1st is way more than meets the eye also she decides to open up a sweet country dinner and because of that she seems to be in the cross hairs of some of the past she never even knew about. This is a fun story and I will be listening to the 2nd one as soon as I can.
