Welcome to Litsy!

A suspenseful short story. Maggie Cabot is a devoted wife to her husband of twenty years. She is navigating her daily life as an empty nester since their daughter recently went off to college when the police show up on her doorstep. Her husband, James, is wanted for questioning when the body of his long ago girlfriend is discovered. 🏕️

Ugh. I get SO sick of the insecure wife trope. Main character was literally jealous of a dead woman, and upset that she was the center of attention during her own murder investigation. I just can‘t.

This book was just ok, nothing to brag about and It got me through part of my work day. If you're into mystery it will be kind of easy to figure out.

I generally don't enjoy reading short stories but I'm finding (thanks to audible plus!) I do like to listen to them. This was good. I liked the MC and enjoyed the way she uncovered the details from the past. I'm quite conflicted about that ending but I'm meant to be so I'd say this was well done.

Since this murder mystery audiobook was pretty short, I stayed interested throughout. The ending wasn't earth shattering but I didn't guess what it would be right away.

This was # 22 on my #bookspinbingo card. I need to get serious about reading to actually get a bingo. I haven't even read the bookspin picks yet. 🤷‍♀️

This is the length mystery I like - short! 😂 A scattering of suspects and a twist. Over like a beautiful girl‘s life.

Five people go on a camping trip. One, a model on the edge of making it big, doesn‘t come back. Twenty years later, a wife tries to exonerate her husband of the murder.

4⭐️ to this great #audibleoriginal, deftly narrated by my favorite, Therese Plummer.

Good book, I didn't care for the ending.

Not the best thing I‘ve listened to lately, but the narration was good, the premise intriguing, it kept me listening for a quick 2 1/2-ish hours, & it was free, so I give it a pick. I guessed some of it but it kept me entertained & I was interested enough in the outcome that I was compelled to finish it up tonight rather than wait for next week‘s #audiosouping. 😉I would try more from this author & the narrator, Therese Plummer.

#Audiosouping to my 2nd Audible Original pick, a mystery. About 30% in & so far it‘s not bad. The narration is good & I‘m interested in how it will unfold. Today‘s soup is Mark Bittman‘s Mushroom Barley (before the broth is added). Pretty simple but I am adding a few touches of my own & it smells really good cooking. Finished soup pics coming later.🍲📚❤️

I didn't buy in to the premise from the start. This was a murder mystery told through the eyes of the irritating Maggie, a housewife living a "perfect life" until a 25 year-old missing person case involving her "perfect" husband comes back to light. Most of the rest of the book involves Maggie in the role of tenacious detective. Next time let‘s leave the investigation in the hands of professionals.

So this I just randomly picked up as one of my audible originals because I like murder mysteries and... it did not disappoint!!!
