About this audiobook
Book 1: Lovely Lethal Gardens
Riches to rags. … Controlling to chaos. … But murder … seriously?
After her ex-husband leaves her high and dry, former socialite Doreen Montgomery's chance at a new life comes in the form of her grandmother, Nan's, dilapidated old house in picturesque Kelowna … and the added job of caring for the animals Nan couldn’t take into assisted living with her: Thaddeus, the loquacious African gray parrot with a ripe vocabulary, and his buddy, Goliath, a monster-size cat with an equally monstrous attitude.
It’s the new start Doreen and her beloved basset hound, Mugs, desperately need. But, just as things start to look up for Doreen, Goliath the cat and Mugs the dog find a human finger in Nan’s overrun garden.
And not just a finger. Once the police start digging, the rest of the body turns up and turns out to be connected to an old unsolved crime.
With her grandmother as the prime suspect, Doreen soon finds herself stumbling over clues and getting on Corporal Mack Moreau’s last nerve, as she does her best to prove her beloved Nan innocent of murder.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This cozy mystery involves murder but it's not explicit or violent. I was in the mood for something light, and this audio book was on sale, so it sounded like what I needed.And it is a decent cozy mystery. It has logic holes you could drive a truck through, and wildly improbable happenings, but I don't mind that. It was a fun read. Not great writing. What bothered me was the ending and the epilogue. The ending felt lame to me, and there was too much ho-hum after the big reveal. The epilogue was worse. Part of it was an epilogue, but on the whole, it was too much of a recap of the story I'd just listened to, and a teaser for the next book. And much too long. Still, it was a silly, fun story.
