After all the excitement of the previous months, Emily Buchannan, owner of Eternal Rest Bed and Breakfast, is looking forward to the Oakhill Art Festival. She has a temp coming into man at the front desk, which means she is free to do her regular volunteer work at the Festival. It is her chance to be out of the house and relax between the beautiful artworks. She has guests staying with her, all of the artists. For the first time in weeks, it seems that there will be no scandal around Eternal Rest.  That is until an artist is killed at the Festival.  At first, it looks like a heart attack, but suspicions develop around his death as evidence comes in.  Sage has instructed Emily to practice her budding talent as a medium with her ghosts at Eternal Rest.  The plot seems straightforward until a twist takes it in an unexpected direction. Emily and her friends have to try and piece evidence left by a ghost to catch a killer in their midst.

Picture Perfect is the third book in the Eternal Bed and Breakfast Cozy Mystery Series written by Beth Dolgner. The audiobook is once again narrated by Patricia Shade and is 5 hours and 39 minutes long. Patricia Shade once again succeeds in delivering an excellent performance that holds the listener’s attention and conveys the mysterious atmosphere surrounding the events that unfold in the town of Oakhill. Her voice consistency is so accurate that you can recognise the various characters. So many loved characters make an appearance, and the feeling of the Festival can be felt through the vivid description. This is definitely one of my favourite paranormal cozy series at the moment, and I simply love the audiobook version. It is a good clean read for anyone not acquainted with this series with no sexual content or profanity.

This is a good read and it contains an immense amount of information that will hold your attention until the book is finished.  There are however small instances where some knowledge about certain facts in the investigation is needed. Maybe the author could add some of this information in a foreword. For example: In the police report it is mentioned that there is a tear in his vehicle's seat, the relevance and importance of this fact is uncertain if you are a first time reader

As promised, here is DODGER!

If you know the words 'Please sir may I have some more, you also know who said it and which book.  Oliver Twist, to some, is the best known of Charles Dickens' books.  Yes, A Tale of two cities and Great Expectations are also well known but did not honour being made into a Disney Animated Film or a musical. As with many books, the title character is not always the one that people end up liking.  In the case of Oliver Twist , the Artful Dodger is the character that steals the show and how appropriate for Terry Pratchett to take this lovable character and give him the Pratchett makeover. Those of us who have read the Discworld novels and novels such as Nation  know that anything is possible once Pratchett has taken a character into his world.  For some, it might be disappointing to realize that there was nothing magical in Dodger .  That is to say nothing magical as in the Discworld novels. Knowing who Dodger is and knowing the brilliance of Pratchett, one can
