My thoughts on Murder on Pointe by CS McDonald

The Fiona Quinn Mysteries are for everyone–adults love the books and they are appropriate for teens and tweens too!

I am reviewing the audiobook and the Kindle edition.

After reading Back to the Burgh and Beyond, I was anxious to read more from C.S. McDonald. Murder on Pointe seemed the best place to start. Now on to my thoughts.

This cozy mystery is a quick, fun listen or read. The author hooks you in the opening pages with a murder and then keeps throwing twists, turns, and red herrings at you until the end. I was so sure I had it figured out, but I was wrong.

The book has all the cozy mystery devices needed for a delightful story. Loyal best friend…check. Cute dog…check. Dreamboat detective…check. Antagonist you love to hate…check. Multiple suspects…check. Don’t take my word for it. Read the book for yourself. If cozies are your genre, you’ll enjoy it.

As for the audiobook, I loved it. Maren Swenson Waxenberg does her usual magnificent job portraying the various characters. Her inflections make it easy to differentiate the large number of people in the cast. Maren’s voice is so soothing and pleasant, I could listen to her read a phonebook. Well, that statement certainly dates me, doesn’t it?

Overall, I highly recommend this book to lovers of a quick, fun, mystery.

I received the audiobook as part of a blog tour and read the digital version through Kindle Unlimited. This review is my honest, unbiased opinion.
