Little Shop of Homicide: A Devereaux’s Dime Store Mystery, Book 1 by Denise Swanson
Finished: June 25
“Loved, loved, loved this book!”
That was my first note I made about this book upon completion. I loved it so much in fact, that once I finished it I grabbed the next book in the series. I was sad to realize it was a series in its infancy, and only had 2 books. I really hope the author continues on, because I fell in love with this series! This is another good ol’ found it on Audible sale book. I am starting to notice a trend here, I am really being pleasantly surprised with how much I am loving the books I pick up at random on Audible sales! This is your somewhat typical “who done it” book, but the combination of the author’s writing style and the narrator I became more involved in the characters individually and as a group more than the plot itself. I felt as if I had known the characters for a long time by the time I went on to book 2, almost as if this were my favorite TV show I had been watching for years. I won’t give much away about the plot of the book, because the summary on Audible doesn’t either, but I will warn you, the narrator is probably a love or hate her type of narrator. Just so happens I loved her after a little while, so I encourage you to not give up on her too soon!
Dev Sinclair is the happy new owner of the old-fashioned shop in her small Missouri town. But if she doesn’t focus on finding the killer of her ex’s fiance, this five-and-dime owner may find herself serving 25 to life.
That’s all folks!
TaTa,
Amanda Ellen
