About this listen

The food here is to die for...

Thirty-year-old Allie Treadwell is a singleton. She's a foodie and a runner. A restaurant reviewer by day, and a Netflix aficionado by night.

Even if it doesn’t make her the most popular dinner guest in the charming southern town of Lanai, Georgia, Allie’s reviews are always honest.

And her latest is no different from any other.

But Allie’s review isn’t the only thing to hit the newsstand. The restaurant’s owner and Allie’s one-time high school nemesis, Jessica Hayes, was found murdered. When Jessica’s husband, Miller, is labeled the prime suspect, Allie’s convinced the police are mistaken.

As if dodging the bad press while she works to clear Miller’s name isn't enough, one false step could put the real killer onto her.

Can Allie clear Miller’s name without winding up with the next obituary?

Foodie Files Mysteries are quick reads of around 30,000 words.

This is a new cozy series to me, narrated by a familiar one. It was an interesting story and am looking forward to listening more to the series and the characters developing. The author is new to me, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Oh this was so much fun so glad found it

This a fun cozy mystery. Not sure it need the comments or reviews for the blog at the start of some of the chapters, didn't really see the point of them as they didn't seem to have any relevance to the chapter. Other than that it was fun, the characters were like able and the mystery was good, with the added bonus of the love interest. With plenty of suspects to keep you guessing it kept you listening until the very end. A good start to a new series.
Allie is a food critique for the local paper and the night before her bad review for the local restaurant, Melissa is murdered. Melissa is the wife of the husband and wife team of the new restaurant and also happened to be Allie's biggest rival at school. Feeling bad about the review, not that the restaurant didn't deserve it, Allie is horrified when the new police detective starts looking at Melissa's husband. who was also a school classmate. While writing and taking photos of food Allie can't help but ask questions, especially if getting more information on the case mean spending more time with the hunky detective. This however puts her on the radar of a killer and jogging her home town streets become dangerous. Can Allie get to the bottom of the murder before someone else is killed?
The narrator was fine and did use different voices for the characters but was a bit slow so I sped up the listening speed.
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
