About this listen

Carrie Kennersly, a veterinary technician, has become known for baking healthful and popular dog treats at the clinic where she works, in the town of Knobcone Heights, California. When a friend moves away, Carrie buys her bakery and converts half into a Barkery to sell her canine delights. Carrie even works things out for her beloved rescue dog Biscuit to hang out in the dog part of the enterprise.

But Myra and Harris Ethman, who own a local store selling pet products, hate the new competition - and they're members of one of the town's most elite families. After publicly badmouthing Carrie and antagonizing family and other townsfolk with her big mouth, Myra is found dead with a Barkery biscuit beside her. Now Carrie must prove she didn't consider the rivalry, nor Myra's nasty criticisms, a sufficient motive to commit murder - before she's collared for the crime.

enjoyable enough

Hopefully as the series progresses it is revealed that the Protagonist is an alien and that's why she behaves and thinks like someone who has only learnt about humans from books. Story is fun if you can get past how inane the inner dialogue and interactions with other characters are.

painful

Story is good if you just want background noise however it is repetitive. A thesaurus would have been of great use. narration was robotic and devoid of emotion as if even the narrator gave up on it.

Trite, unimaginative and boring

This story was the most uninspiring that I have read or listened to in ages! Poorly read, changing between character and just plain bad reading, it was a struggle. I tried to get through and finally just gave up. The story line drug on, the sermonising about how important it is to wash your hands after letting a dog and before cooking really grated, I could find nothing redeemable about this book. Boring characters who were never fleshed out just increased the frustration. Don’t waste your time!
