Murder on Devil's Pond by Ayla Rose

adventurous lighthearted mysterious relaxing medium-paced

3.0

Hannah Solace has decided to renovate an old Victorian hotel and turn it into an inn. She has a weird interaction with her friend Ezra Grayson and wouldn't you know it, he turns up dead. Hannah has inherited everything from Ezra and people are starting to suspect her, so she has one thing to do to get out of the limelight: solve the case! 

I had really high hopes for this one and I think I might have ruined it for myself. It was slower than I was expecting, and I know it is a cozy mystery so it should be slow but I thought the pacing was a little bit off. There were too many characters introduced and too many plot lines. The book felt a little confusing at times. I am sure I'm going to enjoy the second book more as long as we keep the characters from the same book. 

The absolute highlight of the book was the narration. I enjoyed it a lot. I thought the narration was excellent. I would recommend to people who enjoy lots of characters and multiple plot lines that sometimes don't get resolved and people who like good narrations. 

Thank you to NetGalley, Dreamscape Media, and Ayla Rose for giving me the opportunity to review this advanced reader audiobook. All opinions are my own.
