Summary
Meet Alexa Owl. She's returned home to Pittsburgh after a divorce to start a new life and a new business, The Owl’s Nest Couturier Shoppe. Much to her surprise, she's getting more than she ever bargained for: Detective Bobby Starr, and he's no ordinary sleuth. Bobby is an angel who's returned to Earth in hopes of earning his way into the Guardian Angel Squad. He's been sent by none other than Saint Pete to acquire Alexa’s help to solve three cold case murders he left behind.
Except, here’s the catch: He’s been allotted only four days to solve the first case! How in heaven’s name is she supposed to do that? Alexa is a professional seamstress - not a detective. Bobby insists the only way to solve the first case is to return to 1953, and Alexa’s not in love with that idea at all!

Just does not come together
This story has some interesting elements in it, such as ghosts and time travel. However, it feels a little forced. Although I like stories with a twist, this plot just feels that the author has sacrificed character depth in order to get us to focus on a very convoluted plot line.

My first taste of a cosy mystery
So I want to start off this review by saying that I've never really read/listened to a cosy mystery before so I didn't really know what to expect, but I've always liked the idea of them.
I'm not usually a fan of historical fiction but I loved the time travelling element to this.
And I did really enjoy the storyline, and in the beginning I found myself very absorbed, but my attention soon started to drift and I missed a lot of the plot, and I've never had that with an audiobook before. I can only put this down to the narrator as I feel like the story had all the components I should have enjoyed.
I've got the next books in the series to listen to and I'm hoping with a fresh set of ears I'll enjoy these more as I don't feel like I got as much out of the story as I should have done.
