About this listen

When a crime-stopper senior citizen starts to act oddly, a new business sells fake products, and the New Year’s Eve fireworks display disappears, Mayor Cora Mae Bingham and the Spicetown Police Chief Conrad Harris have to get involved.

Cora keeps an eye on her quaint small town nestled in the Southern hills of Ohio. Although Spicetown is sprinkled with culinary street names, stores full of spices, and quaint lifelong citizens, out-of-towners can bring in a dicey element.

This was a fun cozy mystery. It did seem strange not to have a murder happen (and to be honest I kept expecting to stumble over a body) but all the same I did enjoy it. The characters were fun and like able. I did wish the author had chosen some different names because a few did start with the same letter and it took me a while to sort out who they were, but that could just be me. The plot was interesting and I liked the unusual shops in the town. It felt like the author knew what she was talking about and put a lot of thought into it making it easy to picture. All in all a good start to a new series and a book you don't have to worry if little ears are listening to.
Things in Spicetown are not right, the fireworks brought for a big New Year's Eve party are stolen and disappear. Also the Mayor Cora Mae Bingham is sold some essential oils that seem less than perfect from a new shop that has just opened up in town.with the towns reputation on the line can Cora and Police Chelif Conrad Harris get to the bottom of it? Could a local resident be behind the theft or is it a visitor from out of town? A van with doctored plates is seen spotted in town, could the owner be connected? Cora's assistant has just started seeing a new man and has fears he might be involved with the lady running the oil shop. If only she could test him as easily as she can run a test on the purity of the oils. Is more than a cold winter about to hit the small town?
I liked the narrator, she used a number of voices to bring the story and characters to life.
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
