Summary

Wanted: Cat mum to manage a yarn store, corral two curious cats, all the while being tangled up in murderous mayhem and mystery.

A smart woman would dump her cheating ex, move from the city, and give herself a chance for a well-deserved do-over. A smarter woman - smarter than me, anyway - wouldn’t jump out of that same frying pan and return to Cape Discovery, a seaside village where her family is the nuttiest of all the nut-ball residents.

I’m a former high school counselor, middle-child peacemaker, and current curator of lots of squishy/fuzzy goodness at my granddad’s little yarn store; a temporary assistant until I decide what to do with the rest my life. There’s only one knotty problem to untangle first: the knife sticking out of the most unpopular man in town, and the police detective trying to pin the murder on the donkey - otherwise known as my younger brother.

With a pair mischievous cats determined to be underfoot and a craft group of serial knitters and happy hookers wanting the inside scoop, a girl could lose her mind. And if the killer has their way, maybe even my life....

Tessa Wakefield has her hands full juggling a cozy craft store, her crazy family, and two men who’d rather poke out their eyes than describe themselves as cute, which they totally are. Cute, charismatic, and occasionally on her mind when she’s not stumbling over dead bodies and using her newfound sleuthing skills to track down murderers. Lucky she’s an excellent multi-tasker...because digging beneath Cape Discovery’s surface can unearth secrets that kill.

struggled

it took along while to get into the story due to the enthusiastic voice of the reader, but once used to it, the story came through. I enjoyed the story in the end.

Just Ok

The narration was a little annoying although a lighthearted mystery it wasn’t very stimulating. I also didn’t really care about any of the characters as none were interesting enough. Nevertheless I did finish the book as it kept me company while I worked in the garden. Just glad it was free.

Enjoyable, easy listening fun!

Easy listening, not too much blood and gore, no pointless bad language or embarrassingly in depth sex scenes. Nice easy reading whodunnit. With cats!💕

Ok for a free listen

The story was ok but not exciting, sorry I really didn’t lie the narrator. Won’t be listening to any others in series.

Brokenwood fans will love this

If you like cosy mysteries with a touch of romance, it’s nice to find one set in New Zealand!

Good easy listening

Well read. Liked the edge of humour whilst still holding interest in character and plot.

10/10

Great mystery with lots of clues and a few red herrings to keep you guessing. The main character, Tessa, is a little older than the usual for cosy crime and I appreciated her maturity and counselling background when questioning suspects. The cats were a nice addition adding some humour to the story. Overall a really enjoyable read and look forward to more in the series.

A Lovely Cosy Mystery

Both the author, Tracey Drew, and the narrator, Sarah Mollo-Christensen, are new-to-me.

It's nice to listen to a story set in New Zealand.

I enjoyed how our protagonist set out to solve this murder mystery. And although I had worked out who the culprit was fairly early on, I still enjoyed the journey getting there.

Will I listen to the next book? Yes, probably.

Hooked

I’m a crafter and I wanted to listen to something a bit more lighthearted than my usual historical fiction genre. This was just the ticket. And it comes with cats. Purrfect. Honestly, I was really entertained as I listened whilst doing my crafting and crochet projects. Five glittery stars. 🤪
