Wow. I just finished listening listening to this. I do realize Iam well out of your "Target Audience", but just had to let you know how much I enjoyed your book. You have created some very engaging and entertaining characters. They balance each other out so beautifully. And, during these rough and uncertain times.... it was nice to have a little "comfort food ". Well Done!
You are a great writer. I'm chasing my own dream. When I read/hear talent I feel both gratitude for the enjoyment and admiration for the art you made. You are a true writer. Thank you for sharing your work
Can't put into words how much I loved this! It was my first time to try your 'works of art'! That's as close a description as I can conclude! You now have a new fan & another sub!!! TYSM!
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!
Thank you so much! I must give much of the credit to Tiffany, who is amazing. She's narrated so many of my audiobooks that she probably dreams up the ones I'm still writing!
I love the reader of this book! I've heard her read other books before and she does a great job. Nicely written novel too! I'll have to check out more of her work. Thanks for uploading!
Thanks so much! I also sometimes turn on an audiobook for my unscheduled 3am wakeups. Here's hoping for better sleep for both of us this time next year!
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
Miss A P - This is delightful. What a fabulous joy. 😂 Oh my my I am 61yr and blind now from cataracts. I can't drive anymore and now mastered Chicago PACE bus system- which iS now more palatable with you, Abby, Derrick and Chewy. 📄 Waiting and breathless for the next delight- thank you. Oh and Mc-cafe iced. 👋 ☕ 📻 🛌 M. Elgin. Illinois
Thanks! I'm the author, and Angela Pepper is my pen name. I've got a few of my books available for free on this channel, and some others at Audible. Glad you enjoyed Girl in the Shadows!
@@angelapepper3010 I have an Audible subscription and I will certainly LOOK FOR YOU, my dear. Your style is right up my alley. Hey, I just looked you up. You have scads and scads of books out there. I'm buying some NOW!
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.
I quite liked this . The recap in the story was spot on also. If you’re going to match Agatha ,you’ve got to produce a hundred works . As Agatha had her Perot and her miss marble ,so too do you also need a matching character. I’ve no doubt you’ll go far .👍👍
This is the best I've read or listened to in a very long time. I simply could not stop listening to it. Thank you so much for this. I'm looking for the next book already. Absolutely love the ending but didn't want it to end. ❤
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 ❤ 😊
This is a light and easy book, very enjoyable. As someone already mentioned there's no cussing or putting reader in peeping Tom mode with gratuitous sex scenes. Good narrator as well. I don't think this is a spoiler, but usually people want to know the dog is safe and happy throughout. She is.
Thanks, Katie! Yes, I have a bunch of books on Amazon and audiobooks on Audible. The narrator for this one, Tiffany Williams, does my Wisteria Witches series. www.amazon.com/author/angelapepper/?tag=mimsbooks-20
The description says this is a 'stand-alone' novel, but I am waiting anxiously for book 2. I love your characters, the description of the scenes, and the plot. Great read (listen)! BTW - feel free to kill off the ex in book 3 or 4. Such an annoying twit!
Thanks so much! I wrote this one with "series potential" but then my Wisteria Witches series took off like crazy, so I've been busy with that, but I never say never! Tamara (a.k.a. Angela)
I don’t wanna be that person and this is a cool story but does anybody know of a detective story with a female main character without all of this romance stuff (creepy boyfriends, crushes, old guys downtalking, etc)? Asking for a friend bc I really want to know so I can read it. I’ve been looking and I can’t find any 😭
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.
There is a book series with a female detective who is older living in New York City and slightly well built. I can't remember the author right now but boy they were fun.
Enjoyed the first 40 mins of this then she went home to her whacked psycho ex and it wasn't a cosy mystery anymore. I just don't need whack jobs in my downtime. Thanks but no thanks - false advertising imo

Thanks Debra! I do like to write a "clean-ish" story with just a little grit as needed. :-)
I'm an avid audio listener and this book is one of the best! I hope this becomes a series.
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
A very good yarn to work with in the background. Made my sewing afternoon fun. Thank you.
Thanks so much! I love to listen to books while I sew or do jigsaw puzzles, too.
Five stars. Story really moves on. Doesn't waste time on irrelevant details. I enjoyed it.
This is awesome, both the writing and the narration. So good keep them coming, please.
Thank you! Will do!

Great. 🎉 Hate it ended. Good characters and plot.
That's a great compliment! Thanks so much.
Very, very well narrated. I had almost given up on ebooks because of the poor narration but this one is excellent.
Wow, thank you! It's not me narrating, but Tiffany Williams, and she does a bunch of the books I write. She's amazing!
This has been one of the most interesting clean audiobooks I've listened to in a while. Thank you for uploading ♡
Thanks for listening and for the feedback! :-)
I really loved this and would like to see more of these characters!
You are a great writer. I'm chasing my own dream. When I read/hear talent I feel both gratitude for the enjoyment and admiration for the art you made. You are a true writer. Thank you for sharing your work

This was a fastt moving book, funny and light. Great heroine, loved the doggy too.
Thanks! Chewie is the best!
I really liked the cover, Chewi of course .
Love the reference to "The Wizard of Oz"! I'm now in my 60's and have been watching that movie yearly since I was 5!
Delightful.
I really like the story.
Thanks!
Short to the point and very well written and preformed….thanks for sharing 😄
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thoroughly enjoyed listening to the book during my sleepless nights thanks to my journey towards menopause. All the best, warm regards from Pakistan
Thanks so much! I also sometimes turn on an audiobook for my unscheduled 3am wakeups. Here's hoping for better sleep for both of us this time next year!
I liked it! I liked the girl and I liked the older gentleman. Fun! So refreshing. Thank you so much.
Glad you enjoyed it!
What a fun story! Thank you!
I enjoyed this very much. Love Chewie.
I love hearing that! Thanks so much for commenting.
I hope you have more like this 🙏
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
Thanks! My stories can get a little dark and twisty sometimes, but I try to keep them pleasant to the ear.

I like this also. Profanity, graphic sex and violence do not enhance a good story.
@@mwatts-riley2688p
I agree . As momma used to say “ profanity is a lack of vocabulary “.
Thoroughly enjoying this story. Excellent narrative too.thanks!
Tiffany Williams is fantastic! I agree.
So much fun! Thank you! ❤
You are so welcome!
Most enjoyable. Thank you for making this available.

Omg this was so good. Thank you
I loved the book. I wish there was another one as a sequel that tells the continuation of her meeting Derek's grandson as a romance book
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Your request has been noted!

Nice book sometimes I feel like the lines of question and how they went about doing the investigation was a little off idk.
Thanks for listening and commenting!
Hi very intriguing book
I think so too! Thanks for listening!
Where can I buy ur books in paperback form??
good one
Thank you! Cheers!
Has book two been downloaded?
Hi Pam - there's no sequel to this one! I have some other free books on this channel, and others you can get through public libraries, etc.
Where I can find a summary?
I don't have a summary posted anywhere, but you may find some in the customer reviews on Goodreads!
Every time Abby does something dorky, she doesn't disappoint, she outdoes herself in dorkyness. Is she 13?
The description says this is a 'stand-alone' novel, but I am waiting anxiously for book 2. I love your characters, the description of the scenes, and the plot. Great read (listen)! BTW - feel free to kill off the ex in book 3 or 4. Such an annoying twit!

Such a shame sounds like a robot 🤖
Really? I assure you Tiffany Williams is quite real. And human.
Narrator is awful 🤦♀️
This has promise and is well written...but is a bore. IDF
Thanks for trying it!
