About this listen

FBI agent Cookie James is enjoying her extended leave from the agency on Secret Seal Isle, managing her quaint inn and flirting with the oh-so sexy-handyman, Dylan Creed… until her sixty-year-old mother goes skinny dipping and is almost drowned by a corpse.

A phone call to the sheriff should mean the end of Cookie's involvement, but when it's clear the sheriff has no interest in the investigation, Cookie calls in reinforcements… her ex-partner Hunter O'Neil. Suddenly it's like old times while the pair questions the residents of Secret Seal Isle. Except it's not. Now she has both Hunter and Dylan vying for her attention, a wayward hippy mother, and a potential killer on the loose.

With her love life heating up, her mother lighting up, and all signs pointing to the most unlikely suspect, Cookie does the only thing she knows to do—focus on solving the case.

Thankfully it was free. The premise of the story was cute, but the author took a lot of liberties when it came to things like the FBI agents’ procedural methods. I’m not expecting 100% accuracy, but anyone who has ever watched any kind of cop/FBI show would be able to pick out the issues. There wasn’t much in the way of character development either.

More research needed

There were a few questionable plot developments but over all was ok. I won't be buying any other books in the series.

Pretty much everyone but the main character sounded like they were in an old time gangster movie. Such a weird choice. listened to the narrator in other books and she wasn't as bad.

overall I wouldn't recommend paying for the book.

For a free listen it was ok. Narrator was terrible.

The book was good. I enjoyed it. It was free and worth the listen. The narrator could have been better. I have never heard an “accent” like the one she was giving a couple of the characters. She sounded the way I sound when I am mocking what a man said. At no point was I lost in the story, I just wanted the men to stop talking. Maybe consider duel narration. 🤷‍♀️

The “male” voice was hard to listen to
