Format: Audiobook
Prawn of the Dead by Dakota Cassidy
Narrator: Hollie Jackson
Length: 5 hrs and 33 mins
Date Read: September 2017
Genre: Cozy Mystery, Mystery

More Information:My name is Lemon Layne, and if asked to describe myself, like maybe on a dating site (which is never gonna happen), I'd have to go with best convenience store/barbecue joint owner in the Pacific Northwest. I live in the tiny tourist town of Fig Harbor, Washington, with my adorably neurotic best friend, Coco Belinski, my a-little-left-of-center (read totally out there) mom, May, and my trouble-making pet monkey, Jessica Fletcher. Oh, and last but certainly not least, I'm a dyed-in-the-wool amateur sleuth. Yep. I'm literally incapable of resisting a good mystery. No matter how great or small, I love to help solve a crime. From the mysterious disappearance of Ho Hos in my store, to a lost piece of jewelry, I'm always ready to put on my Sherlock Holmes cap. When I find my mother's ex-boyfriend murdered in our convenience store bathroom with a piece of his skull missing, and my mom's a suspect in a murder investigation, my mystery solving goes from zero to a hundred. To really make matters worse, the town's local conspiracy theorist and official doomsday prepper, Cappie somehow finds out the victim isn't just missing a piece of his skull-he's missing a piece of his brain!

Quick Thoughts: This was such a freaking fun listen. I really loved Mom, Lemon, and Cocoa –they kept me in stitches. Lemon really does have a bit of a Sherlock Holmes vibe –IF SHE was a bit more on the slightly awkward side. My only complaint was the end was a little rushed but even that didn’t take away from the fun. I am really looking forward to more in the series.
Audio Thoughts: Hollie is quickly moving up my list as a go-to for quirky characters and who nails narrating them. It is an art form and one she does really really well!

During her non-reading time you can find her hanging with her rescue furr children named after book characters: Lizzie a beautiful cattle dog mix (Pound Pup), Cinder a beautiful Shep/Pitt mix (Pound Pup), and Minerva a beautiful Shep/Pitt mix (Foster Fail). Gathering with friends and family, attending conventions, watching movies/tv shows, rooting for the 49rs, and crocheting.

I keep saying that I’m going to try Dakota Cassidy.
So need to get these and try them on audio. Always fun. Also so good to hear that she is on the mend.
I love watching her updates and man has she had a doozy of a year. I am glad she is on the mend too.
This was such a cute read!
It was. I am looking forward to reading more 🙂
I keep seeing this and thinking it’s a children’s book. I love Dakota Cassidy though and haven’t read anything by her in too long.
This is a Cozy Mystery but yes that cover would make an excellent children’s book cover 🙂
