Former English professor Cat Latimer is back in Colorado, hosting writers' retreats in the big blue Victorian she's inherited, much to her surprise, from none other than her carousing ex-husband. Now it's an authors' getaway, but Cat won't let anyone get away with murder. The bed-and-breakfast is open for business, and best-selling author Tom Cook is among its first guests. Cat doesn't know why he came all the way from New York, but she's glad to have him among the quirkier - and far less famous - attendees.

Chick lit or mystery?
Actually, it is both. If the Shoe Kills is a lighthearted and fun novel that is mostly about women's relationships with each other and with the opposite gender. But there is also a murder mystery to be solved. This book is fun listening especially after the four thrillers I listened to earlier in the week. It is a nice break. Narration is perfect!

Any additional comments?
This series is just delightful. No, it's not fine literature, but if you're driving or doing chores, it's highly entertaining. The characters are nuanced enough and the stories are interesting. Please hurry up with #4!!!

A bit the same.
I enjoyed the first book a lot. A nice listen in the car on trips. The second one was good. This one seems to be much the same. The heroine is portrayed as a bit dull and flighty. The other characters don't like her. The boyfriend wants to wrap her in gauze and keep her safe at home. The story line is a bit predictable from the first two books: Same general story, Different names. I'll read the next one but no more if they stay predictable.

Another winner!
This book was just as good as the first. Kept me guessing until the end. Although the end seemed a little rushed. I love the house, her Shop and the town. I would recommend this series so far.

Entertaining
Would you listen to If the Shoe Kills again? Why?
Maybe in a few years. I will forget the ending by then.
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
Not on the edge of my seat, but certainly engaged.
Have you listened to any of Susan Boyce’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No idea. She does a fine job.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Don't wish to provide a spoiler.

It might be different with a different narratetor. She sounded to me she was very nervous, or was new at this. I would not recomend this to anyone. There was nothing funny or cute. I finally just gave up. I would like to return it.

Good reader, annoying heroine
These stories have good bones, but Jill annoys the heck out of me. The internal voice of this presumably 30-something woman sounds like an insecure, elderly church lady. Her idioms are way out of date for someone born in the 80s.
She lets other people push her around, stresses out over any real or perceived social gaffe, and worries that her condescending boyfriend will be mad at her every time she has an independent thought. Not to mention her septagenarian attitude towards technology.
She's the owner of the business and grouses about poor tippers. You're not supposed to tip the owner anyway! In the first book, she complains in the opening scene about "keeping the change" from $5 for a $3.50 espresso drink. In my world that's a pretty hefty tip.
But the characters are colorful and distinct enough to easily keep track of, the settiing is appealing, and it's a good listen while doing other things.
