About this listen

New York Times best-selling author Wendy Corsi Staub is back with the second in her critically acclaimed cozy mystery series.

After agreeing to stay in Lily Dale through the winter as caretakers of the Valley View Guesthouse and its feline residents, widowed mom Bella Jordan and her son, Max, are looking forward to the peaceful off-season after a hectic summer. That is until the medium next door, Odelia Lauder, recruits Bella to host a destination wedding for the world's most petulant bride, Johneen Maynard, a friend of Odelia's granddaughter.

Things take an even more stressful turn as the wedding day looms amid an October blizzard, when suddenly the spirits start giving Odelia a major heads up that the bride might be fated for death. And when the prediction comes true just as the storm begins to break, Bella finds herself trapped in a house full of murder suspects.

It's a race to figure out who killed Johneen - and what clever murder weapon made it appear to be natural causes - before the killer catches on in Something Buried, Something Blue.

I would say I enjoyed this book and for the most part I did. However I couldn't help but think the author forgot to add in the mystery and it felt more like a romance. Of the eleven or so hours long story the crime only happens in the last two and a half hours, the rest was setting up the scene for the wedding. Which although fun, especially with all the kittens and interesting characters wasn't why I was listening to the book. The ghosts also never really did anything and were just eluded too as being culprits of the strange goings on. I did like the characters, of which there is a lot, especially the two young boys, with there innocents and often humorous comments.. I will probably listen to the next book because as it is about Jiffy and his premonition of being kidnapped
As a way to say in Lily Dale Bella agrees to host a wedding at the b&b. Especially when the bride is friends with her best friends daughter. It is only After meeting the bride that Bella worries that she has made a mistake. Bridezillar is understatement. Can Bella keep her happy? At the same time Bella's own mother-in-law turns up for a surprise visit. Then a storm rolls in and what was worrying signs that the bride might be a target of a stalker turns serious. Instead of making sure the wedding goes of with out a hitch Bella soon finds herself trying to keep the bride alive.
I liked the narrator, especially the voice she gave the young boys.

I quite enjoyed the story but the performance was not great. Worst English accent I've ever heard and the rest was very stilted.

spoilt by narrator

Story is very average, although there are one or two amusing parts. But the narration is horrible. Random punctuation, suspect pronunciation- and what is that British accent all about! I stuck with it on principle, just to see if it was worth it

Prepare to be irritated

I quite enjoyed the story and on the whole it was well narrated as the reader had very good diction reminiscent of old Bette Davis films though accents are clearly not her forte, the English one being hysterically funny veering from cockney to Yorkshire in a single sentence. On the whole an enjoyable experience though.

fairly good listen
