There are cozy mysteries, and then there are COZY MYSTERIES. For me, they’re like palate cleansers after more intense reads, and Carol J. Perry always hits the spot. Be My Ghost starts off light, but before you know it, there’s a body, and then the guessing game begins. By 20%, I had narrowed down my suspects to two: one straightforward option fitting an easy mystery, and one possible plot twist that, while fitting, I hoped wouldn’t be the choice. She went with the cozy choice, and it was exactly right. The flow was so comforting that I immediately put my “serious” TBR on hold to continue this series (only four books out so far!).
As for narration, C.S.E. Cooney’s performance is a true highlight. Her soothing, warm voice and perfect pacing make Maureen’s (and Finn’s) journey feel authentic and comforting, whether listened to at normal or faster speed. She knows exactly when to pause or elevate her voice, making the audiobook experience a joy.
Maureen, the protagonist, along with her Golden retriever Finn, feels like the perfect cozy mystery duo. This book is a perfect mix of heart, humor, and mystery, exactly what a cozy should be.
