About this listen

A cozy/thriller mystery!

The starry skies over New Mexico, the "Land of Enchantment", may hold secrets of their own. The Shoemakers and the Ferraros, on an extended camping trip, find themselves picking up a souvenir they don't want and taking sidetrips they didn't plan on.

This one has a bit of everything, from an escaped murderer to, snake bites, kidnappings and a weird cult too. What's not to like?

Recommended to any cozy mystery fan.

The Space Invader is a Frannie Shoemaker cozy mystery / thriller by Karen Musser Nortman. The Shoemakers and Ferraros (Frannie’s in-laws) are in Roswell NM. An escaped prisoner and crazy cult contribute to murder, attempted murder, kidnapping and theft! These crimes are very personal to Frannie and her friends and really is a thriller. The narration by Michelle Babb is outstanding. She creates unique character voices and maintains the tension in the story. Absolutely great!

Great mystery

This was probably the one of the series I had most reservations about going into it but turned out to be one of the most enjoyable books. The pace was a little slower than I’m used to at times but it was a slow build towards the end which I personally thought was great. We had suspense, a completely new avenue for the story to turn down and it really paid off to keep this one pretty unique.

Michelle narrating this one, like the others in the series she’s done, was fantastic. She really adds some personality to both male and female characters and keeps them interesting and individual too.

I really enjoyed this one and it turned out to be one of my favourites from the series.

Loved it!
