This was a really lovely audio book and I enjoyed listening to it.
I really enjoyed Connor’s story and could feel all of his emotions. I can only imagine the kind of loss that he is currently going through but he was really well supported by the local community. They all clearly loved his mother very much as did he. The way in which the author wrote this story felt like I was going through the grieving process with Connor. Along with Connor were some really lovely secondary characters, I especially liked Mary Ann; she seemed so sweet and genuine. The narrator really got the emotion of the story across well. A beautifully written story and i would definitely recommend the audio book.

I’ve previously read this book from Suen and loved it so was very excited to get my ears on the audio version. The narrator did a fantastic job bringing this book to life and pulling the reader in. Very engaging and very moving. Here’s hoping the rest of the series will come to audio soon as well!

Flowers in December is a self enlightening story by Jane Suen. I have read three or four books by Ms. Suen, but I have to say I think this is my favorite so far. This story was personal for me having lost my mother this last year. This short story was beautifully written and very emotional. This book had me from the first page to the last. Conner Norton’s struggle with grief is prominent in this story as he returns to his hometown town for his mother’s funeral. After the funeral he stays to get his family affairs in order, which brings on self reflection. This book took me on an emotional roller coaster, I definitely needed my box of tissues. Conner’s strength of character made this story flow. I highly recommend this book.
This is the first book narrated by Rich Miller, but definitely won’t be the last. I really enjoyed his voice and he really brought the characters to life.

Flowers in December AUDIO BOOK by Jane Suen was such an emotional read. Having lost a family member recently I felt the thought process was very human and realistic. There are a lot of human moments and acceptance in the process. While it was a quick story there was a good plot, lots of details, and an emotional journey. I found the narrator’s voice really soothing and the pacing well done

I loved listening to this entertaining audio. This is my first audio from this author. I loved being pulled into the story by the voice of the narrator. This is a great author who has chosen a great narrator for her story. I enjoyed the tone of voice and the voice changes throughout the story. This is a story about loss of a parent and loss of yourself. The characters are lovable, connectable and will pull you into their world. A story of a man who loses his mother and has returned home to realize that he has no one left in his life. He finds companionship in the cat that his mom left behind. Will this cat be the healing that he needs? Will he finally be free of the evils and be able to heal? I highly recommend this audio, it is truly worth the pick up

This is the first book in the series. This audio book is just over two hours long. This story follows Connor as he travels back home to lay his mother to rest. Connor has barely been back to his hometown in over 20 years and he is not looking forward to it. He has so many feelings of regret that he has carried with him throughout his life since he left. Now he is all alone except for his cat, Tom. This was such a heartfelt story of a lonely man facing his past and wondering what his future holds.

A very fast paced read revolving around a murder mystery, Murder at Lolly Beach is about Eve Sawyer, a journalist student who is invited to a vacation to a beach by her close friend. Eve goes to the beach without any hesitation to have some peace time, but instead finds herself in the middle of a murder when the truck of her chef friend meets with an accident and her friend goes into a coma. The local reporter, Jake, invites Eve to investigate the case along with him. And then starts the cat and mouse chase to find the murderer, who seems to be always one step ahead of them and keeps wiping off all the clues and the witnesses.
Tension mounts as the plot goes through a lot of twists and turns till the murderer is revealed. A gripping plot, pleasant characters and an easy read, I liked this book. I am thinking of going back and reading book 1, which I haven’t yet.

Murder At Lolly Beach: An Eve Sawyer Mystery by Jane Suen was a really good read. I wasn’t sure exactly what to expect going into this novel, this is the first I’ve read from this author, and I wasn’t disappointed. It was a really good read, but also just kind of bland to me. It didn’t grab my attention and hold me that I expected it would. I’m not sure why, because I was expecting a little bit more. It felt not rushed exactly, but a little hurried. It was a very quick read and an easy read. Th characters were interesting as well as the plot. It did have a twist to it. I thought it was pretty predictable up till the end. All in all this was a solid read and I would definitely read more from this author in the future.

Murder at Lolly Beach has just as much suspense and mystery as book one. Once again Eve Sawyer cant stay away from a good investigation. But this time she ventures out to the beach to visit her friend when a mystery just lands on her lap. Eve is a stubborn young woman who will always find a way to get involved whether her help is wanted or not. This can be read as a stand alone, but if you enjoy this then you should read book one.

I have to say, I didn’t enjoy this book as much as the first in the series, I did still enjoy the story line though. I loved seeing how ambitious Eve was once again. Even on holiday she was willing to drop everything just to help out with a local crime. I really enjoyed the dark twist at the end, I would never have guessed that happening.

Murder Creek is an entertaining murder mystery. I loved the character of Eve Sawyer she just love’s a mystery and just cant stop herself from investigating, but there is someone who does not want her to dig into it and tries to stop her, can she find out what happened to the missing girl or will she become a target and end up being the story in the paper for once and not the writer.

Murder at Lolly Beach (Eve Sawyer mystery series Book 2) by Jane Suen. I LOVED this book. Its the story of Eve Sawyer who is a college student and part time detective. During Summer break Eve accepts her friend Cassie’s invitation to stay at her grandma’s beach house with her and another friend. Eve thinks she is going to enjoy a relaxing time of naps on the beach, fun dinners and nights out on the town but what actually happens is Eve gets drug into a murder investigation. Eve meets Jack Thorne a beach reporter and they begin to investigate a food truck owner’s attack. Will Eve be able to figure it out before someone else gets attacked? Book 1 does not have to be read before this one but it will make the story much more enjoyable due to a few details you learn. I highly recommend this series.

I give Murder at Lolly Beach: An Eve Sawyer Mystery by Jane Suen, 4 stars.
Eve is at it again, although this time she is thrown into it. The second book in the series, Eve is continuing to grow into her work, even having a mentor this time. While she did not choose to solve this mystery, she feels compelled to. It takes us on a journey into what is really happening and just whom is behind it. Like any good mystery, this is not a linear path. There are many forks in the road and the twisting story will have you guessing until the end.
I could not put this book down and highly recommend this book and series to fans of wonderful mystery novels.

Murder Creek is the first book in the Eve Sawyer Muster series by Jane Suen. I love all of her books, as they are short but sweet. Every page counts with this book. So much is happening and it feels like a fully story despite its 159 page length. Eve is a journalism student with somewhat of a 6th sense. She passes over Murder Creek one weekend, and feels very drawn to it. Upon brief research, she discovers there was a massacre there centuries ago, as well as a possible killing/missing person case. She decides to investigate further, traveling to the small town. She quickly noses her way into the small town and its residents. I loved where the story ended up, wrapped up perfectly with a little bow. I don’t want to give anything away, but do yourself a favor and read this book. It will only take a day or two. Now, onto book 2 in the series!

Murder at Lolly Beach is the 2nd book in the Eve Sawyer Mystery series by Jane Suen. It can be read as a stand alone, but I chose to read it after Murder Creek. I did not enjoy this book as much as the first. It didn’t have that action packed mysterious feel that Suen’s other books do. Some of the characters felt somewhat not needed. I felt like the ending was a little rushed. When the main part of the story ended, I didn’t really even understand what happened. I didn’t have that ah-ha moment, and had to read the epilogue to piece it all together. Overall, it was an okay story, in my opinion. There was the mystery, and it was definitely a mystery- I didn’t piece it together and figure things out. I wish we learned a little more about Cassie and Blake, but I suppose it is Eve’s story…

Murder Creek opens with a sketch of Eve Sawyer that introduces us to our protagonist. She is an empath with an acute ability to understand the actions and motivations of others. Being attuned to the people around her enables her to notice details that others might gloss over. She seems to have an innate sense of appreciating others, and that, coupled with her calm and carefree attitude towards life will be one of the key factors that will help her on her journey to solve the disappearance of Lacey Walken. This book has a similar narrative arc as Murder at Lolly Beach, and I enjoyed it just as much. Eve is a likeable character, one who you find yourself rooting for without even meaning to. She is honest, focused, and tenacious in not giving up even when others wish she would. As the clues to Lacey’s disappearance become revealed, I couldn’t help but try to suss out who was responsible right along with her. I normally have a preference for longer books, but I found this one to be just the right length for the story. It was a fun way to while away an afternoon at home, cozy in my pajamas, with a fire going for ambience. I definitely recommend this as a lovely way to spend a few hours. Dig in and enjoy!

This time Eve Sawyer is heading on vacation with her friends from college Cassie and Bob at Cassie’s families beach front cottage and cannot wait to just sit back on the beach and relax, eat some good food and read a book, she needs the break after the craziness that was the last semester, and that is exactly how it starts out, they head to the beach and spend some time there before heading out to see Cassie’s grandma.These plans go awry when the next morning when Cassie takes Eve for surprise crepes for breakfast at a local food truck owned by a guy called Blake and when they get there, they find the place surrounded by yellow tape and there are police officers around it, Cassie’s face turned ashen and she looks scared, so Eve goes to see what is happening. As she speaks to a woman in the crowd, she finds out what happened and where the ambulance took him, the need to solve the crime wells up and she knows then and there that she won’t be able to rest until she finds out the truth.
While the Cassie and Eve have something to eat, Eve asks to go to Blake’s house and when they get there, Cassie talks about Blake, the apartment and the people how live below him, but decide not to talk to anyone as the police are doing the exact same thing, so they agree to go back later on. At the hospital they find out that Blake is in a coma and is not allowed visitors, but they are allowed to stand in the doorway and see for themselves and Cassie is shocked at his condition, it is at that moment that a journalist from the local paper turns up, who introduces himself as Jake and asks the same things as Cassie and Eve and as they leave, he follows them out and as Cassie gets in the car, Eve talks to him about Blake and while swapping information tells him why she is there and finds out that as well as being amazing at cooking crepes, Blake is also a strong environmentalist and was trying to get the local council to ban plastics on the beach, but there were a few people opposing it.
When Cassie asks to tag along with him to the interviews of the people who were against the ban, he asks the paper and they agree that she can be an intern while the investigation is ongoing and this is all the encouragement Cassie needs and so the investigation begins.
Will Eve and Jake be able to find out who was responsible for hurting Blake and why, or will the tangled web be too hard a mystery to solve? This is another great murder mystery which will leave you hanging on until you have read to the end and solved it with them.

Eve Sawyer is a journalism student, but she also has these heightened senses which she cannot ignore nad they help in some situations, but they also won’t leave her alone and settle when they start up and when she is minding her own business and driving home when she drives over a bridge with a sign saying “Murder Creek” and she gets a prickling sensation in her spine and the almost overwhelming need to look down at the creek and know what happened there and this feeling of agitation and restlessness didn’t leave until she had gotten home and looked up the name and in doing so finds out about two significant events, a murder of a group of men on the banks in the 1800’s and a missing girl, Lucy Walken from twenty years ago. When Eve gets to college the next day, she immediately goes to see her professor to ask for him to give her an incomplete grade so that she can go and investigate what happened at Murder Creek over the summer break, he reluctantly agrees and so when shehas finished with everything else to complete her other classes, she heads to Murder Creek and finds a motel to stay in while also finding out that there will be a funeral that weekend and if she wants to stay in the motel longer, she will have to let the owner know in advance.
When she gets settled, she calls the contact her professor had said may help her with the investigation, so they agree to meet at the local diner and they talk about what she is in town for over dinner, he agrees to help her and to start, will take her to Murder Creek itself. That night Eve can’t sleep because of the horrific dreams she has of the two cases, but nevertheless, she is up and ready when her guide shows up, when they get there, the scene is peaceful, the complete opposite of the images which assault her senses, but when she goes to where Lacy’s bloody scarf was found, she only got the prickling sensation, but thankfully, no more images and when Eve returns to her room, she goes over her notes and makes a list of what she needs to find out. She looks at the phone book and finds the listings for Walken’s, she calls the two she finds and arranges to meet one the next morning, but the other just tells her she can’t be of any help. Later on, Eve is taken to see the sheriff as a courtesy to tell him what she is doing there and to ask him what he knows, but he is quite closed off and won’t help them, but Eve has another way to get the information she wants and asks to go to the newspapers main office and places an ad in for anyone to call her if they have any information.
As Eve digs deeper into the case and learns more about Lacey, she realises that this beautiful girl was more than meets the eye and whatever happened to her doesn’t quite match up and when she starts talking to people, something still doesn’t seem to add up, but it seems that the key detail is still missing and she worries that she may never know what it is when it turns out that the funeral is for one of the towns main benefactors.
Will Eve be able to uncover the truth about what happened to Lacey, or will the dead ends and lost leads conspire against her? This is a mystery to get your teeth into and will keep you guessing until the very end.

Murder Creek (An Eve Sawyer Mystery) by Jane Suen is a great mystery. First off, I thought it was interesting that Eve Sawyer relies one her extra senses, the ones she doesn’t share with others, to help her solve things. Murder Creek got its name because of a gruesome murder of some young men in the 1800’s. Eve feels something strange when she goes over the bridge crossing Murder Creek. This leads her to start researching the disappearance 20 years ago of Lacey Walken, a beautiful teenager who disappeared without a trace. The story had a twist I didn’t expect but throughly enjoyed.

Murder at Lolly Beach is a delicious beach read that will leave you wanting more. This book is purported to be a standalone, despite this being the second book in the series, but I still worried that I would miss out on plot or details without having read the first one. I needn’t have been concerned… I dove right into this murder mystery and its characters. Eve is a great protagonist – smart, empathetic, and relatable. Her journey to uncover the murderer was crafted with fun, intrigue and heart. The descriptions of characters and plot are so lush that I could taste the lemonade and smell the beach air. I started this book and read it straight through to the end in one sitting! If you enjoy whodunnit mysteries and fun, accessible writing, this book might be for you!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, I loved the writing style and how the author described her surroundings; I could really picture what she was seeing. The author got the name for this book from a place she’s personally been to, which made this book all the more personal; that added to the fact I could relate to her when she mentioned having a morbid curiosity about crime made me feel all the more closer to the book and the author which I think is so important. This was a really easy read and I’m excited to read more from the author.

I am always excited to dive into any new book by this author and it was no different with this one. Jane Suen always manages to pull me in to the story from the very beginning, and just like every other book by this author I was able to read this book in one sitting as I couldn’t bring myself to put it down.
This is book 2 in the Eve Sawyer mystery series, and while you can certainly read this as a standalone, I would suggest reading Murder Creek, Book 1, first.
I enjoyed all of the mystery, twist and turns, unexpected moments and captivating characters in this story! It was everything I expected it to be and more! I can’t wait to dive into my next read by this phenomenal author asap and would highly recommend this book to others!

This is a Eve Sawyer Mystery. It was a great read that keeps you guessing from beginning to end. There are so many twists and turns that you really have no idea who’s done it until the end. The suspects change all the time and I loved it.

Murder at Lolly Beach is the second novel in the Eve Sawyer series by Jane Suen. It picks up shortly after the first story, Murder Creek, during the summer between semesters for Eve.
We get to meet more of Eve’s friends while she heads to the beach with her friend Cassie for some relaxation. Too bad it quickly turns into a trip not even remotely related to relaxation. After Cassie’s friend in town is attacked it all goes downhill from there. Unfortuntely for Eve, her curiousity prevents her from sitting it out and just enjoying the beach.
I enjoyed this novel because you get to know the main character of the series better! Sometimes I wish there was a little more “meat” in each chapter/scene, but this is a quick, interesting read!

Loved this book so much. I really enjoy how Suen crafts her stories and develops the characters. I fell into the action easily and was gripped by the action immediately. The right amount of character development, quick dialogue, beautiful detail, and a great ebb and flow… loved every page and cannot wait for more.

This is a nice mystery that moves along at a quick pace. I like that this author uses short chapters to move the story along in a quick fashion. The story is good and even though this is the second in the series it can be read as a stand alone. The characters are choppy and they leave holes. But this seems to be part of the quick pace. Fully fleshed characters are not needed. Just read until the end to get all the answers.
