The Megalodon Mix-Up

Great story!

I really enjoyed the behind the scenes story of the writers conference and am wondering if it is a roman à clef. Daring if so.

I wish Charlie used her magic more, like Zoe in another series. Maybe I am bloodthirsty. Anyway, I look forward to #5 coming soon!

Megalodon Mix Up

Charlie Rhodes is an interesting character. I love the situations she gets into. Hiding in plain sight. I am enjoying the romance with Jack.

Can't wait to read more.

Really enjoyed it

Amanda M Lee is a new author to me although I have listened to a couple of cozy mystery books narrated by Jennifer Jill Araya previously

The narrator did a fabulous job and certainly kept me engaged as I listened to The Megalodon Mix Up ( I giggled whenever I heard that word narrated) and can I just say I love the tittle?

Charlie Rhodes and the team she is a part of, travel to Florida to investigate the death of a particularly nasty author at a convention. The big question is was is a prehistoric shark (Megalodon), a normal shark or was she murdered?

As the team, including Charlie’s secret love Jack Hanson investigate, things become more complicated. This was a book filled with intrigue, danger, suspense, twists and turns and was altogether a thoroughly enjoyable listen.

In fact I will be on the look out for more books by this author as soon as I can.

Very enjoyable

This was a very enjoyable listen. It has a great combination of mystery, suspense and humor. This was my first book by this author and I am going to look for the previous books in this series.

Looking for a Megalodon.

This was the first book i have read in this series but i had no problem with this being book 4?I enjoyed the fact the special team went to Tampa to investigate a murder possibly by a large shark. A Megalodon. Some of the team truly wanted to believe it was a Megaldon and some were skeptic. Charlie and Jack investigates while trying to keep their love life a secret. The victim is a writer attending a convention with other writers. She is not a very nice person and is hated by others. The question is was her death a accident or murder and if it was murder was it human or shark? When she is found she is partially eaten and hard to determine how she died. Is there really a Megalodon on the lose? Or was it regular sharks or what? Will Charlie and Jack crack the case? I was gifted this book in exchange for an honest review at my request.

The narrator did a fantastic job. I do look forward to more in this series.

This book is my Jam!

This book is my Jam! I absolutely loved it, starting with Charlie (Charlene) Rhodes. She's recently out of college, a bit awkward, and totally adorable... and out on a first-date, when the book starts. And, second, she's working in her dream job as a, ummm, crypto-zoologist so essentially a monster hunter (I happen to love cryptids) and the third and best part is Charlie (and the group she works for) is investigating the suspicious death of an author, possibly from a Megalodon attack, at a writers conference! Let me say, I love books that take me to conventions and workshops about books and writing. While investigating this death, it turns out the team discovers that no one, absolutely No One is mourning the writers untimely death! Furthermore, everyone who's attending the conference had a grudge against the deceased. The number of "Easter Eggs" mounted as the story progressed, from actual author's names and pseudonyms, to events that may have actually occurred in the real world (the names being changed, of course)... all the while showing us a darker side of the indie-writing business (no, no you get no spoilers from me)!
The fact that Jennifer Jill Araya was able to narrate this story without cracking up shows me that she's serious about her craft! That or the cut and splice buttons were used effectively... LOL
So get the lighthearted cozy mystery. I'm sure you'll be as baffled as I was by all the plot twists and turns as they hunt for the killer, or maybe it really was a Megalodon!

Not what I was expecting

I got a little bored with the story line. I don't know why I got bored because the narrator did an excellent job narrating. Maybe the word Megalodon was referenced too many times. overall the story flowed well. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

A Fun Cozy Mystery

This was a fun book to listen to. Charlie cracked me up so many times and Jack brought enough levity to balance her out. They make a great pair. Who killed the nasty author? Was it a shark or one of the many who had hard feelings towards her? Hmmm, you'll have to listen to find out. There's action, adventure, suspense, romance and lots of humor. Loved it! This was a fun and entertaining to listen to. I love Jennifer Jill Araya's narration and how she kept from loosing it while reading is simply amazing! Overall, a great listen worth your time!

Aggravated

I have listened to pretty much all of the books by Amanda M. Lee and absolutely love them all and I understand she needed a new narrator for the series but this new one is not very good and all of the characters sound the same. It is really hard to get into this book...

Love Chariie Rhode but....

I really wish Authors and publishers would learn, if you must switch narrators especially following a fantastic one that they could do a better job of replacing with similar narration ability. Jennifer Araya isn't bad but she "JUST READS" I can do that, great narrators make you feel like you are in a movie. Jennifer is a middle grade book narrator for children in my opinion and her craft will improve I hope but following Emily is tough. Everyone now sounds like they are in high school instead of adults. Too bad. Story great as usual but if the author has any power I would have held off on the audiobook until Emily Lawrence was available or a like narrator could be found. Customers do hold that against authors and publishers. They lose sales too. I won't buy another basic narration story for this series after starting with a great narrator, and I don't normally purchase the kindle book unless audio is available as well.
