About this listen

Jessica Fletcher, Cabot Cove's crime-solving novelist, travels to sunny Mexico only to find her life is in danger in this installment in the USA Today best-selling series.

Jessica is happy to accompany her publisher to Mexico for a little rest and relaxation. San Miguel de Allende is the perfect place for Jessica to soak up the sun, bask in Mexican culture, and spend some time with her good friends, Vaughan and Olga Buckley. But when Vaughan is kidnapped for a large ransom, Jessica must put her life on the line to find her old friend.

I really enjoyed this audiobook and was sorry when it ended. It was gripping from beginning to end. I liked the exotic location, and it was very well written. It was interesting to learn about life in Mexico and there was a good range of characters, some very likeable and others who were on my list of suspects. The ending was surprising and very well done. A perfect mystery, with no bad language, no obscenity, and no violence. The narrator was also excellent, each character had a distinct voice, and sound quality was perfect.

Excellent

I heard it all, liked the narrator, good descriptions, far fetched plot but enjoyable none the less.

Enjoyable

This was a very slow book to get into especially with the "Angela Lansbury" accent the narrator attempts. Its awful. The plot was not hard to figure, a disappointment all round.

Grating accent spoils it.

The story is nothing like the television series if that is what you are after. It is dull, and frustrating, and rather drawn out, but I listened to it on a long journey so it was passable. Wouldn't listen again, so good that it was included in my membership.
Will try another one on a long journey as very little concentration needed.
(Oh, and they got it right that she doesn't drive!)

Ignore It Is Supposed to be a Jessica Fletcher Sto

I grow up watching Angela Lansbury playing Jessica Fletcher, so when I saw there was an audio book of one of her stories I jumped at the chance to relive my childhood. Although the narrator didn't sound like Jessica and the other Cabot Cove residents that I know so well were not present I did enjoy it. Mainly I think because it was an interesting mystery and I don't think you need to have watched the tv show to enjoy. The story is fairly slow to start but I think that works well because it is setting up the scene and setting for the mystery. There is a number of suspects to keep you guessing and like a Jessica show other than the murder there is no violence. I think I would join Jessica on another audio book adventure.
After a busy schedule Jessica Fletcher accepts an invitation to join her publisher and his wife at there holiday home in Mexico for rest and relaxation. The journey there is eventful with delays, missing drivers and even a hold up at gun point. When she finally arrived Jessica hopes the fun and games have finished and she can sit back with some Margaritas. Unfortunately things don't go to plan and when her host goes on a trip to collect the expats mail he and his friend gets kidnapped. They receive a ransom note by the local newspaper and then a body is discover. Can Jessica find the kidnappers before another body is dropped?
I think I was expecting to hear Jessica speaking, so was slight disappointed that the narrator gave her more of an accent than I was expecting but I did get use to her voice and enjoyed her interpretation.

No Cabot Cove
