About this listen

To solve or not to solve? When a visiting professor is found dead, English major Pepper Brooks is caught in the middle of the investigation. Literally. While the detectives focus on crime scene forensics, Pepper can't ignore the Shakespearean clues left by the killer. With the help of a handsome library clerk, a dog named Hamburger, and The Bard himself, this unlikely sleuth might just close the book on this case.

A great start to the series

A fun cosy mystery with a hint of romance and a decent mystery.
I loved the literary references and how they tied in with the murder. I thought Pepper was a fun character and I enjoyed following her investigations and the drama that came with it.
Some suspense is a must have for me when I'm reading a mystery and this book had quite an exciting ending. The identity of the murderer was not obvious for a good portion of the book and I was taken by surprise when the murderer was revealed.
The narration was very good and I wouldn't hesitate to listen to more works performed by the narrator.

This was a good, entertaining listen and I look forward to reading the rest of the series.

I voluntarily reviewed a copy provided by the author/narrator at my own request.

Work of art

I enjoyed Erin's stoneybrook mystery series so much that I just had to give this new series a go to. Glad I did, it is just as much fun and a great start to a new series. I liked the characters and the spark between them, romance is in the air? It doesn't detract from the mystery and In some way enhances it because he it the police chiefs son and keeps letting information slip. The home life was fun, I especially liked the naming of the dog. Also growing up reading Nancy Drew I loved all the comments about what she would do, Shakespeare plays also plays a part in the story. The only down side is how quick the main character was to accusing the suspects without gathering all the fact first, it did mean there was plenty of suspects to accuse and kept you guessing. All in all a fun light hearted humorous mystery.
Pepper stumbles over the guest speakers dead body in her favourite professor office. The suicide not was a line from Macbeth but surely an English professor wouldn't write it down wrong would he? The police already suspect murder before Pepper points it out but In doing so, she points the finger at the professor. The two professors had a history and Pepper fears that if she doesn't step in and investigate the professor might be arrested for the murder. With help from an unlike source, the campus library in the form of the new staff member and the books, Pepper must piece together the clues left behind by the killer just like her childhood hero Nancy Drew.
I liked the narrator and thought she did a good job with the voices, even the ones needing accents.

Shakespear Entertwined

I loved this cozy mystery. How this self made detective just wants to solve the murder and how shakespear pops up every now and then. Easy to listen to but keeping you listening till the end.
