Scenic views by Beth Dolgner – Eternal Rest Cozy mysteries, audiobook Patricia Shade

By



Scenic Views is the fourth book by Beth Dolgner in the Eternal Bed and Breakfast series. Emily Buchannan once again has her hands full with a house filled with eager ghost hunters. The only problem is that she sent her resident ghosts on an errand, and now it seems that she has a brand new spirit. Emily did buy some antique items to spruce up the house after all the excitement during the art festival, and the new ghost must be haunting one of those items. As Emily and her guests try to find out more about the history of the various items she bought, Emily and her friends receive threats of harm should they continue their investigation. When the truth starts to unravel, even the Oakhill police give more than their usual support as they realise they will have to help Emily to keep her and her friends safe. Finding a killer based on the reversed ramblings of a ghost can be difficult, as everyone connected to Eternal Rest comes to realise.

Listening to an Eternal Rest Audiobook is like checking into a favourite B&B for a relaxing stay. Emily and her friends are well known by now, and it feels like a vacation to listen to the antics she and her friends get up to help a spirit move on to the next plane. The various new guests bring a new dynamic to each book and ensure that the reader always has a unique story with new dynamics to which to listen. Patricia Shade again does a brilliant job narrating, and her character voices are like old friends you have not seen for a while. A definite recommendation to all Cozy paranormal lovers out there.

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
