Publisher's Summary

Tucked next to a pristine lake, the part-Medieval Europe, part-Renaissance Faire hamlet of Whispering Pines, Wisconsin, is a utopia...except for the recent murders.

One month after arriving in the Northwoods, former detective Jayne O'Shea has settled comfortably into small-town life and is making good progress with her task of getting her grandparents' house ready for sale. Then, the shocking death of one of the carnies rocks the community, and the villagers look to Jayne for help, placing her in an impossible middle ground of not wanting to get involved and needing to ensure justice is served.

When a second carney turns up dead and the newly hired sheriff - more concerned with ticketing tourists than catching the killer - dismisses the death as an accident, Jayne has no choice but to step in. Can she uncover the truth before the murderer strikes again?

Fun story, mediocre narrator.

I'm enjoying this series. Whispering Pines is a fun village to go to inside my head. I also appreciate the Wiccan references which I find interesting. Nothing too complex, just a fun light hearted murder mystery.

The narrator has a pleasant speaking voice when she's voicing the main character and the narration, but the other characters' voices I find are not much of a change from her regular speaking voice. In this story, there were a few characters who had either an Italian or a Spanish accent. Could have fooled me! They both sounded like a bad attempt at a Transylvanian accent to me. The narrator also has a very odd cadence to her speaking voice, where she seems to emphasize every third syllable or so with no particular reason. It's not irritating but I do find it rather odd.

I do look forward to the next book in this series so that I can escape from this pandemic-ridden world for a few hours.

Love this series!

These books are fantastic. Easy to listen to and the plot always has me intrigued. Amazing inclusions about Wicca. Definitely will be a repeat listen.
