A Romantic Mystery! Amelia Moore, founder of the Moore Detective Agency, specializes in missing persons. Along with her partner, Rick Bonito, they are sometimes put in dangerous situations when solving a case. In this volume, they travel to exotic places such as Bali Island in Indonesia, Ireland where she kisses the Blarney Stone, and Mexico where she experiences what a rain forest is really like.

I have just finished listening to a  romantic mystery audiobook called Amelia Moore Mysteries Volume 1. This Audible book has 3 stories in one volume.. The book is narrated by Carolyn Kashner.

It is always fun to listen to an Audible book while driving, or cleaning or just relaxing.  I find that this author has created a wonderful set of 3 cozy mysteries  the detective, Amelia Moore is in and works hard to resolve.  The stories take you to interesting and exotic places that will keep you captivated and enthralled. 

There are 16 hours of great listening as the talented narrator, Carolyn Kashner takes you to wonderful places and with excellent expressive dialog that will keep you listening till the very end.  I recommend this wonderful listening experience.

I received a copy of this Audible book from the author.  All thoughts are my own.

 

The Amelia Moore Mysteries Vol. 1, 2, & 3

The Shamrock Case

This was right up my alley.  Why?  Because I am a genealogist by profession.  And in this book, the main character, Amelia Moore, a detective, is looking for the family of a young woman, Kate, who was adopted after the death of both of her parents.  She knows they were from Ireland and wants to find her family if possible.  Being a genealogist, I do this everyday as part of my work, also.  I have also worked on a few adoption cases and heir searches. I have also traveled abroad to do research, so I guess that makes me a bit of a detective, also!

This is a cute story and there are unexpected results to the search for Kate's family.  You will have to read this sweet story.  It's a fun and enjoyable read. 

The Bali Mystery

I must say the series has some really interesting settings.  This definitely adds depth to the book with obviously lots of needed research on the part of the author, which clearly was the case.

This is a cozy mystery and so not the intense type of mystery and I find that I am really enjoying that alot. There was a little romance, mystery and some suspense all rolled into one.

I do like / prefer a clean romance.  That is me.   So this book definitely scored points for me in this area.  In other words, a good Christian read.

Amelia and Rick seem to work together well in this book and I will plan on reading other works by this author.  Her assignment:  Find the missing brother.  Her partner in detective work: Rick Bonito.
The setting:  Bali.

Amelia wants to keep the relationship between Rick and herself completely professional, but with a beautiful setting, the perfect person, and a lot of time together, it will be interesting to see how that all turns out.  I am quite certain you will really enjoy this read and I highly recommend it!

The Missing Heir

Having never been to Mexico myself, it was fun to experience Amelia and Rick's journey through a part of this country as they search for the nephew and heir of Dell Murphy, who is missing.  Dell's nephew was expected to continue the work at Dell's orphanage, rather than his brother and sister who would close the orphanage down.  They find many obstacles in their way as they continue their search.

I really enjoyed this book of the series.  Linda's books are very interesting, enjoyable and always a clean read.

Her Lost Love by Linda Weaver Clarke (Audible Version)

I always love a good Audible book because then I can read and multi-task.  I was really happy to read book 5 in the Amelia Moore Detective Series, because I had really enjoyed the others.  This one did not disappoint.  Narrator Diane Lehman was an enjoyable narrator and very expressive.

Ms. Clarke's books are always a good and clean read.   It is a fun cozy mystery and I love how it brings in the area in St. George, Utah, which I am so familiar with.  Ms. Clarke always makes you feel as though you are right there enjoying the scenery and the surroundings.

I loved how Rick and Amelia work so well together, have their bucket lists, and seem to always get into a few tight fixes.  I really enjoyed the book, loved the fact that it was audible and could listen without turning a page!

Great book!  You can grab a copy here!

The Bali Mystery by Linda Weaver Clarke

I was lucky enough to get a copy of the Audible version of The Bali Mystery.  This was part 1 of the Amelia Moore Mystery Series.  I must say the series has some really interesting settings.  This definitely adds depth to the book with obviously lots of needed research on the part of the author, which clearly was the case.

This is a cozy mystery and so not the intense type of mystery and I find that I am really enjoying that alot. There was a little romance, mystery and some suspense all rolled into one.  Because I had the Audible version, I was able to read it while driving to work, which made the otherwise boring trip quite interesting. 

The narrator, Diane Lehman does an impressive job including different voices for the different characters.  This gave the book a lot of interest for the reader as well as helping to identify who was speaking at the time.

I do like / prefer a clean romance.  That is me.  I appreciate that there are still clean romances out there, telling me that I apparently am not the only one that feels that way.  So this book definitely scored points for me in this area.  In other words, a good Christian read.

Amelia and Rick seem to work together well in this book and I will plan on reading other works by this author.  Her assignment:  Find the missing brother.  Her partner in detective work: Rick Bonito.

The setting:  Bali.

Amelia wants to keep the relationship between Rick and herself completely professional, but with a beautiful setting, the perfect person, and a lot of time together, it will be interesting to see how that all turns out.  I am quite certain you will really enjoy this read and I highly recommend it!

The Mysterious Doll by Linda Weaver Clark (Amelia Moore Detective Series, Book 4

The Mysterious Doll by Linda Weaver Clark is book four of the Amelia Moore Detective stories.  In this story, a porcelain doll turns up missing from a museum case.  The obvious culprit appears to be Sam, an engaged museum employee who suddenly turns up missing at the same time as the doll.

Sam's fiance hires Amelia and her partner Rick to find Sam and to prove his innocence.  Amelia and Rick are followed at every corner and try to dodge the men that always seem to be after them.  Will they be able to find Sam and prove that he was not guilty of the theft and also figure out why so many people seem to be inquiring about the doll?  Is the doll worth enough to be of such great interest to several people?  What is the real secret behind the mysterious doll?

This was a fun read and I enjoyed it very much.  I think you will enjoy the other books in this cozy mystery series, as well.  Amelia and Rick seem to be getting closer as the series continue and some romance is definitely in the air.

I was given a copy of the ebook from the author for my review, which I have given.
