Listening time for Take the Monkeys and Run (Barbara Marr Murder Mystery #1) by Karen Cantwell is 7 hours, 27 minutes.
Alright, first things first, Nan McNamara did a delightful job narrating Take the Monkeys and Run (Barbara Marr Murder Mystery #1) by Karen Cantwell.
Secondly, Take the Monkeys and Run (Barbara Marr Murder Mystery #1) by Karen Cantwell is a funny read, albeit the plethora of movie references made by the main character, Barbara Marr, did getting a bit annoying towards the end of the novel though.
Overall, I did enjoy this cozy mystery novel involving monkeys and the mafia. It did make for an easy breezy read even if there were a few detractors, like the over use of movie references and Barbara Marr's annoying mother (what is it with annoying mothers in the books I've been reading this year anyway???), and a few other unbelievable occurrences in this novel.
The following is a plot summary for Take the Monkeys and Run (Barbara Marr Murder Mystery #1) by Karen Cantwell from Audible:
Film lover Barbara Marr is a typical suburban mom living the typical suburban life in her sleepy little town of Rustic Woods, Virginia. Typical, that is until she sets out to find the missing link between a bizarre monkey sighting in her yard and the bone chilling middle-of-the-night fright fest at the strangely vacant house next door. When Barb talks her two friends into some seemingly innocent Charlie's Angels-like sleuthing, they stumble upon way more than they bargained for and uncover a piece of neighborhood history that certain people would kill to keep on the cutting room floor.I am giving Take the Monkeys and Run (Barbara Marr Murder Mystery #1) by Karen Cantwell a rating of 3 stars out of 5 stars.
Until my next post, happy reading!!
