    it’s great to find fun fast moving stories like this posted for free on TH-cam everything about this audiobook makes it a joy to listen to: the fast moving pace the narrator and the lack of profanity and sexually explicit language

    Wow. As a writer who WANTED to be a writer when she was much younger and is now the age of Derek Diamond, this audiobook gives me layers of pleasure. 1. The characters are so well drawn that I like them very much. Even the bad guys, while unlikeable, resonate in my memory as people I have stumbled over on my way to becoming much wiser. You capture the ages and life experience of your players very convincingly. 2. The mystery is intriguing, and you fulfill your contract to the reader. Cozy mystery fun that draws the reader right where you want her. 3. Wonderful job by the reader, Tiffany Williams! 4. What courage for you to put your book out there for free! You are successful: I will be buying a copy (and perhaps future volumes), because I am a new fan. As a writer, this has been very inspiring and instructive to me. 4. What else? I give you blessings for much success on all your projects!

    I found it impressive to write this book without the use of profanity. It would have been so easy to have done that but for me it had just a touch of that Agatha reachability by doing it the hard way. Good job

    Thank you Mrs.Paulin, Tamara Paulin, Tamara, Angela AKA FIRST COMEDIC MYSTERY AUTHOR AND PODCASTER 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽. Continuing from my previous comment… This story was so Brilliant and enjoyable I listened to it twice. Unlike those super long novels congested with wordy and spacious run on metaphors that stops the flow of what’s happening because I have to rewind just to understand what was just said. Again the long novel gets longer with run on similes 😂…. This story continued moving forward as the plot thickens.😊 The characters in the novel had so much chemistry it was like watching a movie in my head hearing only the words…. Does that make sense?? It does to me, that’s one ingredient to a great story….. I must say this book had a lot of DOW WOW moments. If anyone doesn’t understand a DOW WOW I’m sorry it can’t be defined in this comment… No that’s not what I mean lol. But in Tamara’s Podcast Episode 1 you will understand the Great Irish expression…WHAT’S THAT CALLED WHEN IT’S AT HOME😅 Back to the Novel this story MUST not have just one sequel>But a series of Abbie, Derek Diamond AND Chewie Mysteries….Those are already Best Sellers!!! AGAIN THANK YOU FOR SHARING ❤ 😊

      I just found out that you write comedic mystery books. I'm sorry that I didn't look carefully before. Hence, if you ever decide to make a sequel showing some of the romance between the girl and Derek's grandson, I'm more than happy if you made it a mainly comedic mystery book as well since girl in the shadows was really awesome. Anyway, no pressure.

      If you look for some mysteries with a male detective, those tend to have less focus on the romance subplots. Steve Higgs is an author who writes a bunch of series that are also light and funny.
