A Potion to Die For by Heather Blake
3.0
I really need to tell my library to get more of these books.
That being said, the audio version took me a while to get into. I think it was the reader that got me at first. She made Carly (the main character) seem really whiny. About a third of the way into the book, though, I got past that and started to enjoy the story. Aside from being understandably scattered, Carly had a good head on her shoulders. (I'd be scattered, too, if I found a dead person - sheesh.) I liked her aunts, as well. They're wonderfully eccentric.
Overall, the story was your standard whodunit, but it wasn't predictable, which was nice. The side characters weren't terribly annoying and you could really feel the "Oh my goodness, what next" vibe from the characters when someone was going to do something crazy. It was a fun read once I got used to the narrator's voice. ;)
