Candy Coated Murder: A Pumpkin Hollow Mystery, Book 1

by Kathleen Suzette, Virtual Voice (Narrator)

Have you ever made decisions that you later regretted? Maybe I should have kept my mouth shut about how mean Hazel Martin was. Because when she ended up dead, the police were looking at me.

Mia Jordan has done the one thing she swore she wouldn’t return to the small town she thought she left behind. But Pumpkin Hollow has changed. The once thriving Halloween-themed town is down on its luck, and to make matters worse, someone killed Hazel. Can Mia help save the town and find the killer before she winds up in jail? Or dead?

Welcome to the warmth and charm of Pumpkin Hollow, where you'll find a family-owned candy store, loveable characters, and a dead body or two. Pumpkin Hollow Mysteries are clean cozy mysteries without paranormal elements.

Listened to audiobook; storyline was decent but the virtual voice narrator killed it. Really wanted to give 1 star for that but I did enjoy the storyline. Idk why anyone would want Ai to narrate. It’s awful and does not pronounce things properly or give any sort of inflection in their speech. Makes the story flat.
