Great shorter cozy!

I really enjoyed this cozy! I decided to listen to this book because I was in the mood for a cozy and I liked the sound of this story. I also was drawn to the fact that this audiobook was just a few hours long because sometimes a shorter book is exactly what I am looking for. Once I started this book, I knew that I had made a good decision because I was hooked by the story immediately. I just really had a lot of fun with this one until the very end.

I really like the fact that the main character in this cozy is a man. I think that every cozy I have read prior to this one has been lead by a female so this was a nice change. I loved the coffee and comic book store that Kirby owned along with his friend, Ryan. Of course, a little case of murder makes things interesting just as I was really getting to know the characters.

I thought that the mystery in this story was very well done. This is a fairly complex mystery especially considering that this is a shorter piece. I had a few guesses but I was never quite sure exactly how things would work out and loved the fact that the mystery was able to keep me guessing.

Jeffrey Kafer did a fantastic job with the narration of this book. I thought that he really brought Kirby to life very well and all of the character voices that he used seemed very natural. His pacing was great and he had a very pleasant speaking voice that was easy to listen to for hours at a time. I think that his performance added to my enjoyment of the story.

I would recommend this book to others. This was a fun little cozy filled with great characters, an interesting mystery, a little bit of romance, and a cute dachshund. I would not hesitate to read more installments in this entertaining series.

I received a digital review copy of this book from the author/narrator via Audiobook Boom and have voluntarily left this review.
