About this listen

Welcome to Myrtlewood, a quirky town steeped in magic, tea, and mystery…

Life’s a struggle for Rosemary Thorn and her teen daughter, Athena. But their regular troubles are turned upside down after Granny Thorn’s mysterious death.

Despite her cousin's sinister maneuverings, Rosemary returns to Myrtlewood and the sprawling, dilapidated Thorn Manor. There's more to the old house than meets the eye, as Rosemary and Athena soon find out—in a whirlwind of magic, adventure, mystical creatures, and endless cups of tea.

Life in Myrtlewood would be bliss if Rosemary could only clear her name in a certain murder investigation, solve the mystery and stay out of mortal peril—for at least a little while!

A small town with endless secrets, strange activities, and a house with a mind of its own.

Disappointed

Really wanted to like this book, but the narrator spoiled it completely. The main character sounded like a fed up old woman. The pause at the end of each sentence and the countless times we heard ‘Rosemary said’ was so annoying. Disappointed.

could have been great

I gave up on this book due to the painfully slow narration. Otherwise I think I would have really enjoyed it. May try just reading it.

Lovely cosy magical mystery

This is a lovely cosy small town magical mystery I very much enjoyed listening to.
Some of the storytelling was a little obvious but definitely not the worst I have read. Also the narrators voice was lovely if a little slow, my only criticism of them would be that they muddled which voice they used for who in some of the lengthier scenes. I doubt it with bother most people. Those are my only criticisms and I'll admit they are pretty picky, I really enjoyed the book on the whole.

Proper Escapism!

I really have enjoyed this series and would recommend it. The narration is passable but I did find it irritating that the narrator couldn’t say the name of a main character correctly - Rosemory instead of Rosemary. Perhaps it was an error in her script - if that sort of thing bothers you I’d give it a miss because it’s relentless and started to spoil the experience for me. I am grateful I read the books prior to getting this audio version.

unbearable narrator

gave up listening to the audiobook after the 4th chapter, the voices the narrator puts on are so off putting, Athena sounds like a spoiled annoying brat and Rosemary sounds like an angry old man, not to mention the weird voice and accents the narrator gives the other characters. Might read the book and see where it goes, some elements I enjoyed from the storyline so far, but not convinced yet.
