About this listen

There’s no place like home… until you stumble over a body in your yarn shop.

After spending twelve years in New York City, fiber influencer Sadie Sexton didn’t expect to find herself living back in her hometown of Hoochville, Tennessee. But when her grandmother bequeaths her beloved yarn shop to Sadie and her sister Charmayne with the stipulation that they must run it together for a year, Sadie and her dog Peaches find themselves back in the small Appalachian town.

Despite the somewhat contentious relationship with her older sister, Sadie is enjoying spending time with her childhood besties and Clementine Parker, her Grandma Mae’s best friend and the woman she thinks of as her second grandmother. But the enjoyment is cut short when she finds a body in the yarn shop and the prime suspect is none other than Clem herself.

Now Sadie is on a mission to clear Clem’s name. With her besties committed to helping in any way they can, she’ll stop at nothing to make sure Clem stays out of the slammer, even if it means cozying up to the town sheriff. Who just happens to be the same boy who broke her heart over a decade ago.

This is my first listen from Ramey James. Loved it. It will grab your ears and you’ll listen till the end . The author wrote a story that had great word building. The characters were engaging.
Sadie Sexton didn’t know once she went back home she would have an adventure on her hands . There is lots going on her grandmother burial , sharing a store with her sister . But the main thing is she doesn’t believe her grandmother best friend Clementine murdered a lady . Clementine Is charged with the murder, but the murdered lady husband is acting very suspicious.
Who actually murdered her . Grab it and you’ll love the story. I sure did
This is actually my first listen by Tiffany Morgan. She did all the scenes and Characters great

An exciting & original Cozy Murder mystery (set in a knitting yarn shop!) that zips along at a cracking pace, delightfully told with an up-beat & entertaining narration. Together with a sprinkle of romance & some interesting characters; this whodunit will have you hooked wanting to solve the puzzle of who & why would anyone commit a murder in a small-town Yarn shop?! A surprise ending will also make you want to see what next happens next to the main character, Sadie, in hometown, Hoochville. Voluntarily recommended read & review.

A 'Purl' of a Cozy Murder 'Yarn'!

A cozy murder mystery set in a small town. The main female character is smart, patient, observant, and dedicated friend out to prove her friend’s innocence. Some unexpected twists and a fledgling triangle romance make for an interesting and entertaining story. The whole cake scene had me chuckling! Shenanigans of long time friends are entertaining! The narrator did a good job bringing the story to life! I received a free copy of the audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Entertaining!

I'm a big fan of cozy mysteries, especially when the amateur detective is a smart and savvy woman. Sadie fits the bill! I love the twist Grandma left behind and look forward to seeing how Sadie's experiences and adventures continue.

The narration was excellent.

Cozy mystery fun!

I really didn't know what to expect when I started listening to this story By new author to me Ramey James..I thought it was a romantic comedy..lol..But No it was totally different than what I thought.
Now I don't usually listen or read books that aren't romance..I love romance and so never feel the need to try anything else,because romance has everything that I want.
Alpacas and Alibis is not a romance and I didn't mind it at all..this is a murder mystery story based in a small town...It reminded me of those shows on TV you watched in the 80's like murder she wrote etc..
Anyway Sadie is the main character and our super sleuth poking her nose in when she is not supposed to..Sadie is back in town for 1 year after her Gran dies and she is there to run her Gran's shop with her sister Charmayne.
Then one night Sadie finds a dead body in the shop and the murder weapon is a knitting needle the main suspect is her gran's best friend Clementine Parker.
Clem is like family to Sadie and along with her group of friends she is determined to prove Clem's innocence.
This doesn't go over too well with new sheriff Reed Hawkins the man who broke her heart...So of course Reed and Sadie clash at every turn because of her interferring...There is a spark between them but nothing happens as Sadie will not be involved with anyone working in law enforcement...The reason is because of her deseased husband who was a cop.
What ensues is a bit of an adventure as we follw Sadie try to solve a murder and getting into trouble doing so..We are introduced to the quirky characters of the small town of Hoochville..and we are left with the prospect of another mystery in the future.
This whole book was fantastically Narrated by Tiffany Morgan who performs ALL the characters in this book...she really makes the story come to life with her voice acting talent and I loved listening to her.
Alpacas and Alibi's is a wonderful audiobook and it was such a pleasure to listen too..full of twists and turns,wit, humour and suspense...I am now totally invested with Hoochville and all the characters in this town. I enjoyed Ramey James's writing and I can't wait for more.
Loved it.
5 delightful Stars.
