About this listen
Recent widow Jane Marsh is determined to recapture a rich, full life. She strives for youthful fun by riding a bicycle downtown on her lunch hour in a suit and heels, smoking cigars, eating at hipster restaurants, and re-entering the dating scene, even if her dates prove to be peculiar.
Her most fervent desire, though, is to join an exclusive dinner club. She auditions, but is barred when her housekeeper is found murdered, and she and her guest list become the suspect list. Her, a killer? So what if her two late husbands died under suspicious circumstances. It doesn't make her a killer.
Having passed off a store bought Bundt cake as her own creation, she may have committed a culinary crime, but never murder!

We'll take a cup of kindness yet ...
Jane's world is feeling empty. Both of her son's have left home, one for college and the other for the army. And she has recently been widowed for the second time, both of her husband's having died somewhat suspiciously falling to their deaths into the sea. So when her newly employed cleaner is found dead in her basement on the day of her first attempt to add the gourmet dinner club meetings to her calender, it was not too surprising that she became a prime suspect.
The police don't seem to be doing much to solve the murder and the dinner club group won't accept her as a member until the perpetrators are caught, so Jane, with the assistance of friend Cheryl and a lot of nosing about, decides she has to solve the mystery herself. But Miss Marple she certainly is not!
This intriguing little mystery story is an undemanding listen, ably read by Ann Simmons, whose delivery is clear with good intonation and a reasonable individualising of the voices of the different protagonists. Her reading was, however, rather cozy slow and this reader found it much more acceptable with the playback speed increased to 1.25.
The story has a host of suspects in addition to Jane herself, with clues included for the reader to guess who-dun-it, as well as a scattering of red herrings along the way. However, the main focus revolves more around Jane's life and friendships besides the crime solving and, although fulsome in detail, this felt rather two dimensional and shallow. The characters themselves seemed to act a couple of decades younger than their ages, but this could easily be simply the bias of this reader.
Overall, an easily read, light mystery story requiring little reader work or participation. I was fortunate in being freely gifted my complimentary copy, at my request, by the rights holder, via Audiobook Boom. Thank you. Whilst i would not actively recommend this to friends, it was still an enjoyable listen to pass the time.

Dinner club or murder club
It took me a while to get into this book because it was a bit slow but I got into it in the end, just listened to a few other books In between. I think it wasn't helped by the narrator who was a bit slow. The idea for the plot was good and there was a lot of suspects to keep you guessing but a bit to much on the main characters home life that had nothing to do with solving the murder. Still it was interesting just didn't grab me right away.
Jane newly widow and feeling lonely with her son's having left the nest, wants to make some new friends by joining a dinner group and finding herself a social life. Her first attempt at hosting the party ends in disaster when she runs out of time and needs to nip out to the shops to buy a desert, leaving her new cleaning lady home alone to get murdered. It doesn't look good for Jane's hopes of joining the club unless she can prove one of the guests isn't the killer. The cleaner wasn't well liked even by her own family so Jane believes there are plenty of other suspects the police can look at they include the man on the motor bike stalking Jane and the drug dealing ex husband. Can Jane get the kind of approval to join the club or will she find herself joint another sort of club? One behind bars?
As I said the narrator was a bit slow speaking but once speeded I found the I enjoyed the story more.
