About this listen

Temp jobs can be murder!

Scarlett Chase is working the cushiest temp job ever—house-sitting a gorgeous luxury home for a vacationing family and taking care of their cute little dachshund. Then she finds a body facedown in the pool, and her relaxing job turns into a nightmare. It seems that the home’s security system isn’t keeping everyone out as thoroughly as it should. And even though the family members were outside the country, their alibis may not be as solid as they appear. Scarlett was ready to let the police figure everything out, but she gets sucked into the mystery and uncovers more crimes than she bargained for.

Murder—unlike her job—isn’t temporary.

Poisoned by the Pool is the third book in the fun and clever Temp Jobs Cozy Mystery Series.

Mysteries, fraud, intrigue, friendship, love, an adorable dog - this book is captivating from beginning to end. The writing is just brilliant and the characters and the story are amazing. The narration by Amber Battaglia is excellent. Highly recommended!

Excellent!

Oh, wow!! This series just gets better and better and I am loving it. This is book three in this entertaining series and although not entirely necessary I would recommend that you start with book one and work your way through, in fact I did recommend it to my mum, it's that good. What I like is the fact that Scarlett is a temp worker, so in each book she has a different job making each book very different from the last and keeping it fresh. There is a long running mystery of what happened to cause her dad's accident but I actually like that you only learn a little bit with each book. The main mystery does get solved and with plenty of suspects it kept me guessing for a while but I did come up with answer in the end. I think this might be my favourite of Scarlett's temp jobs (and book), so far. I love the main characters and although I would say the story mainly focuses on the mystery, I did enjoy the family drama and the budding romance, as well as the mystery surrounding her dad. Wow just realised how much is going on in this story. Just a really good mystery and a great series. I can't wait for the next book.
Scarlett's next temp job is house sitting for her brothers business partners family. Giving her plenty of time between dog walks to search his house and find out if he his conning her brother. Instead she finds a body floating in the swimming pool, a body that the police chalk down to accidental drowning while drunk. Scarlett doesn't think so and calls her detective friend to share her suspicions. With the family back from holiday and the death looking more like murder he asks Scarlett to continue staying at the house to get to know the family and find any clues the police might have missed. Can Scarlett find the reason for the teenagers death? Or is the detective barking up the wrong tree?
I like the narrator and hope she sticks with the series as I can't imagine anybody else voicing Scarlett.I
