About this listen

The start of a page-turning cozy mystery series

A retired librarian. A chatty orange cat. A murder in a charming seaside town full of secrets.

After being fired from the library, 68-year-old Jim Butterfield decides to retire and move to Oceanview Cove to fulfill his late wife's dream of living near the ocean. But Jim never expects that he will end up in the center of a murder mystery instead of reading about one.

On the second day after coming to the town, his neighbor is found dead, and Jim becomes the prime suspect. Together with Ginger, a cat with extraordinary sarcastic abilities, Jim must untangle a web of secrets and lies hidden behind Oceanview Cove's colorful facade to clear his name.

Can this unlikely duo of amateur sleuths find the real killer before Jim becomes the next victim?

Murder Next Door is the first book in the Jim and Ginger cozy mystery series full of twists and fun. Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie and Richard Osman.

An excellent and well narrated, i look forward to hearing others in the series. The cat is a character on his own and fits well with the retired librarian. A 5 star read in all aspects and i look forward to hearing the others.

A good first book
