5.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable book, great narrator!
Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2020

The narrator did great variation. The southern accent fits the book perfectly. And she sounds young, which fitted the main character perfectly also. And she did the emotions very well and even had me yawning along with her. She does speak a bit in an abrupt manner. And also fast, but not too fast, a nice pace with a good flow to it. A five star performance for sure.

The story was lovely! I loved Piper. Not a murder mystery, but a sabotage mystery. It does get suspenseful! In all honesty, I would have liked the story to focus more on the mystery, there was maybe too much about massages and nails and stuff, girly stuff, but I thoroughly enjoyed it and it totally deserves 5 stars IMO.

Well wrapped up at the end. No loose ends. Lovely!!!

I am definitely going to be reading / listening more by this author and listening to more by this narrator!

A fun new series. With a fun group of quirky characters.

Author Katherine H. Brown gives the reader a fun story with some twists and turns and some funny parts, a little romance.

And ending leaving you on the edge of your seat waiting for the next one.

This is a good one for all audiences.

I enjoyed meeting these characters and I can't wait to read more.

So the mystery person wasn’t who I thought it was going to be. This was a good read with a surprise ending. I hope the rest are on kindle unlimited.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow what a crazy adventure these three had!
Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2023

I guess I’m going about reading this backwards since I first read the Gladys adventures to get ready for the third book, then I really wanted to start this series after reading a little about Piper, Sam and their guys. It’s honestly not ruined anything by reading those books first and I absolutely loved this first book! What a wild adventure those ladies had at the spa with Piper having a weirdo stalker leaving crazy notes.

I could hardly stop reading as the adventure unfolded and loved how Piper handled herself in the showdown. Everyone had a hand in the rescue as well, but I think Gladys’s contribution was probably the most important. Then toward the end when all was peaceful and good…bam! Another surprise I sure wasn’t expecting…and another one at the end too! I’ll be borrowing the next book on KU as soon as I free up a slot!

Ooey Gooey Bakery is a great name for a bakeshop! The friendship between Piper and Samantha provides a good basis for this fun book and the supporting characters add humor, a hint of romance, a little drama, and some mystery. All-in-all this was an entertaining afternoon read that also addressed some real-world issues. I thoroughly enjoyed it and look forward to reading more of this series.

Piper and Samantha are a dynamic duo, best friends & business partners who win a trip to the heavenly spa. Suddenly threatening notes appear and a range of "accidents" happen. What is going on and who does not want them at the spa? A great mystery with wonderful characters.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing
Reviewed in Canada on June 10, 2022
Verified Purchase
This book was disappointing on multiple levels. I WANTED to enjoy it, and the title, the cover, and the bakery name made me expect that I would.
But I read cozy mysteries to be entertained and to escape from the seriousness of the world for a while. Not to be converted to the author's religion, not to be lectured on about social tragedies, and not to sit through long and drawn-out instructions on various topics such as yoga, food-based health tips, and more.
This book should be listed in the genre for Christian cozies and if it had been I would have passed on it.
And while brief mentions of human trafficking as part of the background lead-up to the story would make sense, a long interview of the main character on it is tedious and takes the reader out of the story.
Add to these the fact that virtually nothing happens of consequence to any actual mystery until the 40% point of the book, and I found it to be frustrating to read. I only finished it to find out who was leaving the threatening messages. As it was, I ended up skimming much of the content of the last half of the book.

A really great story, with enough twists to keep you in your toes. A little too much detail in some places, but it didn't deter from the story. Looking forward to book two.
