Summary

The chips are down in Scumble River.

School psychologist Skye Denison-Boyd had hoped that her maternity leave would be at least a little relaxing, but when she and her husband, Wally, meet with the priest to discuss their newborn twins' christening, an explosion at the nearby bowling alley rocks the rectory. And although the business was closed at the time of the blast, there's a body inside.

As police chief, Wally is inevitably drawn into the investigation, which seems to indicate that foul play is afoot again in Scumble River, and Skye can't help but do a bit of her own sleuthing. But the clues come fast and furious, ranging from an odd new stranger in town to animosity toward the gambling machines that had recently been installed at the bowling alley, and Skye finds herself wondering if this could be the puzzle that stumps her for good.

Awfully nasal narration

Too bad they changed the narrator. Last book I will listen to if same narrator. Grating nasal voice. Too bad!

Couldn’t finish

I listened to the first book all the way through, Stopped listening to this one a chapter in.
I don’t know why the narrator changed, but the new one was too nasal for me.

Cheesy

I personally find the constant sweet talk between the couple irritating. Not my cup of tea.

Enjoyable froth

I probably wouldn’t have finished the book if I hadn’t been feeling ill but it was very easy listening and didn’t seemed to matter if I snoozed through bits. I don’t know if it was my ears or some over processing of the recording but Wally seemed to sound more like Molly at the start of sentences. But that is a small gripe.

not convinced

I love a mystery but magical realism completely spoiled it for me. As did a bit of flag waving right near the end. too fairytale-like for me

Loved it!

Great little mystery wrapped up in a charming cast of diverse chatacters.
The story continues, as Sky and Wally's family grows and everyone welcomes the babies. Sky isn't ready for her maternity leave to end but is drawn back to assisting with matters at the school. She also ends up assisting in her Police Psych role too.
I am finding this series entertaining and addictive, which is saying a lot considering that I never read/ listened to the original series! I may have to rectify that!
Anyway, I certainly enjoyed this audiobook and possibly wouldn't have tried it if it hadn't been amongst the 'Included' titles, so thanks Audible!

Enjoyable

It’s a nice series to listen too.

My daughter was in stitches in parts. We were both listening to the book while sewing.

Ok

Reasonably interesting book but far too much focus on babies and too little murder mystery
