Title: Strawberried Alive
Author: Jenn McKinlay
Narrator: Susan Boyce
Series: A Cupcake Bakery Mystery
Genre: Mystery
Format: Audiobook 
Listening length: 6 hours 36 minutes
Date of Publication: May 3, 2022

Description: Life is smooth as buttercream at the Fairy Tale Cupcakes bakery, and newlyweds Mel and Joe are stopping to smell the flours. But things start to crumble one night when an unknown gunman takes a shot at Mel. Even though the bullets miss their mark, the cupcake crew goes on high alert to figure out who would want to kill a small-town baker—and why.

When more business owners are attacked, things turn fatal, and locals begin to wonder if the killer could be one of their own. Every shop owner in town starts to fear it’s only a matter of time before they too become victims of the mystery murderer. Despite the cupcake crew's superb baking skills, it will be anything but a piece of cake to catch the killer, as they try to prevent anyone else from being berried.

My Thoughts: I quite enjoyed listening to Strawberried Alive by Jenn McKinlay. It was an easy listen and the story moved at a nice pace. I quite enjoyed how cupcakes were found throughout the story. Mel, the main character is relatable and it is quite understandable how she would have difficulty sitting on the sidelines after someone tried to murder her.

The narrator was easy to listen to. She helped progress the story at a good pace. She was able to change the ton of her voice for the characters well.

Rating: 3 out of 5 because although I enjoyed the book and found that it moved at a nice pace, I am not sure that I would pick-up the next book in the series.

Many thanks to Dreamscape Media and Netgalley for this review copy. This is my honest opinion.
