He was born to write mysteries. Now, he has to solve them.

When Dashiell Dawson Dane moves across the country to a small seaside town called Hastings Rock, he has one goal: get away from his ex. Okay, two goals - because he wouldn't mind a little help from his new boss, celebrity mystery author Vivienne Carver. With Vivienne's mentorship, Dash is sure he can get over this blasted case of writer's block and start telling his own stories again.

The only problem? Vivienne is murdered on Dash's first night at Hemlock House. And when police find a secret passage that connects Dash's bedroom to Vivienne's, they're sure they know who did it. Now Dash has to prove his innocence - and the only way to do that is to figure out who really killed Vivienne Carver.

A complimentary audio was provided in exchange for an honest review. Review contains spoilers so read with extreme caution!

This was awesome! I loved the narration first of all. That was an excellent choice! Andrew Gibson is a new narrator for me but I certainly plan to look for more books by him. If you like audios, have no fear here. A cozy mystery with no sex (yet, but who knows) and I don't recall any swearing just the implied swearing off page.

As for the story, this was just a very fun and great story. I loved the characters, the murder mystery and the budding (it's waiting to bud really) romance between our MC Dash and Deputy Bobby, lol. From the blurb you already know that there is a murder afoot and of course Dash is encouraged by his merry band of misfits to solve it. The fact that Dash has a vested interest in solving the murder helps too because who wants to go away for a murder they didn't commit? [Which is funny because the whole ending is about the fact that (real spoiler coming) [Vivienne isn't actually dead. She conspired with the police chief to get a body from the morgue (pretty sure) and planted it to make people think Vivienne was dead but it was really so she could flee and get away with murder! Yes, she framed someone (grr, blanking on her name) for murder, then also killed someone else in the present day and was trying to get out of the country to escape all kinds of legal problems. (hide spoiler)]. See, told you it was a real spoiler. (hide spoiler)]

I kinda gave away a lot in that spoiler so don't read it if you don't want to know. I had not been expecting that ending, but that makes it all the better. What I really enjoyed though was just seeing Dash be himself, and interact with the other characters, see how his mind worked. He's very snarky and reminded me a lot of other snarky characters I love so this was just the perfect story for me.

I do highly recommend and I really want to continue this series. 5 stars all around.

Great Snarky Main Character and Great Narration

Another wonderful new series from Gregory Ashe, this time a bit of a departure for him in that this a Cosy Mystery. But, as usual I was not disappointed even though I was just a little sceptical to begin with. I wondered how this master of drama would pull it off. Of course I should have known better - he can pull anything off he sets his mind to.

After getting my head around Gregory Ashe’s eclectic bunch of characters and finally managing to get their names straight, I quickly settled down to enjoy Mystery Magnet.

Dashiell (call me Dash) Dawson Dane arrives in the small seaside town of Hastings Rock to take up a position as assistant to the renowned mystery author, Vivienne Carver, and is almost immediately plunged into a murder - her murder in fact.

Dash, himself a mystery writer, though at present suffering a severe case of writers block, quickly realises that he must find her killer, because if he doesn’t, he is apparently the only name in the frame for the murder.

Gregory Ashe’s choice of narrator, Andrew Gibson, is absolutely perfect for witty, snarky, Dash and the cast of diverse and fascinating characters. I recognised his voice immediately as one I love listening to, albeit in a different genre. Andrew Gibson’s vocal range is impressive for both the female and male characters and I’m more than happy he’s been added to this writer’s list of narrators. A dream team for sure. I’m looking forward to the next books in The Last Picks series if this is the quality of writing/performance we can expect.
Highly recommended.

Another new and fabulous series from Gregory Ashe

I have all of Gregory Ashes audiobooks because he's a superb writer and uses great narrators. Ans so I have an expectation of a well written story that will keep me on my toes. The Author's move into cozy mystery is not something I enjoyed. It's a dumbed down formulaic genre that offers no surprises... but I guess it's easy listening. This story is nothing new, not exciting, and there's no romance or sex. But I guess when an author has established a fandom based on stellar writing, they can publish whatever they want and still sell. I hope Gregory Ashe gets back to writing stories with a bit more substance, as he's very good at it.

Like everything Gregory Ashe writes, this is another fantastic series. I like how this author writes, the plot is sublime and the characters are so well crafted, I love it!

Dawson accepts a new job to overcome his writer's block, but is surprised by the death of his boss, the writer Vivienne Carver. Everything points out to him as the murderer, and he must prove it was not him.

The narration was very well done, giving more emotion to the book.

Awesome book, great narrator
