About this listen
Welcome to Waterfell Tweed, where things aren't as cozy as they seem....
Sandy Shaw was happy with her life running the village cafe and bookstore, until a series of murders in the sleepy village cause everyone to second-guess just how peaceful things are.
Join Sandy as she sets out to solve the killings, and get peace restored, in this box set collection of the first three books in the Waterfell Tweed Cozy Mystery Series.
This box set includes Once upon a Crime, A Tale of Two Bodies, and A Valentine's Kill.
Each novella is a cozy mystery, meaning they are safe from swearing, sex, violence, and cliffhangers. Each audiobook can be listened as a stand-alone, but the series is best enjoyed if listened in order.

Book One: Once Upon a Crime.
Sandy's shop was struggling. Although the cafe with it's delicious came selection was reasonably successful, no one seemed interested in buying books. Then Sandy becomes prime suspect in the murder of a man who had announced his intention of opening a top of the range bookstore opposite her own shop. Sandy needs the help of her sister and her loyal customers to try to clear her name.
Book Two: A Tale of Two Books.
The major bouse, left empty when the owners left for a very long vacation, and been occupied by squatters, which annoyed many of the village's inhabitants. When one is killed in a hit-and-run incident, Sandy feels remorse because she had earlier refused him a job. When another young man working in her kitchen is also hit by a car, Sandy and handsome neighbour Tom try to work out what is happening.
Book Three: A Valentine's Kill.
With the shop doing well and romance in the air, Sandy finds her emotions stretched when Tom himse!f becomes a murder suspect and he suddenly becomes cold towards her.
The books, individually, are quick to read and not taxing. The writing style is direct and simple with uncomplicated snappy sentences. There is a lot of eating and drinking, mostly coffee and cake, with recipes liberally sprinkled throughout. Despite frequently detailed descriptions of the characters, they remain essentially two dimensional but become familiar as they reappear in the different bolks. It is a fun read with intriguing mysteries and having the first three books to read in sequence is a bonus as the background story builds as the cafe-bookshop develops. Interestingly, although Wendy's main love is books, their is a noticeable absence of any literary references along with the obsession with food.
Nano Nagle has a pleasant English voice, easy on the ear, clear and with good intonation.She modifies the emotion according to the text and voices each protagonist individually, even if some of the characters seem to have disproportionately rough accents. It is a good reading but one which, for this reader, did not quite fit the stories but nevertheless helped breathe life into some of the numerous characters.
An enjoyable, if rather flat, read in an interesting location - the cafe. The who-dun-it? aspect is also intriguing, allowing the reader to assess and guess at the perpetrator from clues dropped along the way. My thanks to the rights holder of this Waterfell Tweed box set who, at my request, freely gifted me with a complimentary copy, via Audiobook Boom. Recommended for fans of non taxing cozy mysteries who enjoy the chance to work out the perpetrator in advance of the ending.
Books: her closest friends and greatest teachers.

The stories are short which means you can listen to one full story in a few hours.
Each individual mystery is very well written with good, fun characters. The mysteries are not overly complicated but they will still keep you interested and guessing. I really enjoyed the narrator's performance and I look forward to listening to the rest of the series.
I voluntarily reviewed an advance reading audio copy.
Easy listening

This was no different, set in the British town of Waterfell Tweed really made me feel at home, coming from a small village myself. Although where I live is nowhere near as exciting.
This is a boxset of 3 separate stories, so great for a short listen and I had a break between each one to listen to something else, the stories are gripping but fun...hopefully there will be more to this series.
Please note, I did receive a free copy of this book in return for an unbiased review.
Enjoyable
