About this listen

Small-town life brings big-city problems.

Kalina Greystone’s return home to Ellesworth, MA, to take over the family's comic book shop brings back old friends and even older secrets. The death of her great-aunt Agatha in plain sight at the annual Solstice Fair pushes her to snoop where she doesn't belong—much to the chagrin of former high school sweetheart, Detective Christian Harper. As Kalina digs into her great aunt's past, she uncovers a dark truth that Agatha and her closest friends were hoping to take to the grave. A truth the killer wants revealed.

Will Kalina and Chris catch the killer before the killer's thirst for vengeance is sated?

Pains and Penalties is the first book in this quirky, fast-paced cozy mystery series where you’ll find a dash of nerdy fun mixed with your new favorite amateur sleuth.

Found it hard to picture the female lead with the narrator’s voice, she read well but just didnt seem to fit the storyline
