MURDER BY PAGE ONE

In a voice full of Southern charm, narrator Janina Edwards portrays librarian "Marvey" Harris and her gang of amateur sleuths in this series debut. A New York native, Marvey has lived in Peach Coast, Georgia, fewer than four months when her friend Jo becomes a murder suspect. With their mutual friend Spencer, Marvey hopes to clear Jo's name--even if it puts their lives at risk. Edwards captures each personality completely--Jo's anxiousness, Spencer's charm, and her coworkers' curiosity--along with the nuances of Southern culture. Cozy and quaint, this small-town mystery is paced like a Sunday afternoon drive. Even amid the action, Edwards keeps to a rhythmic and nearly mesmerizing cadence.
