Enjoy All Four Fiona Quinn Quick Mysteries:

Banking on a Murder
A Fiona Quinn Quick Mystery
By C.S. McDonald
The Memorial Day weekend is kicking off and Fiona is about to enjoy a get-together with an old friend. It's been years since Priscilla Conroy has been in the neighborhood but thanks to a not-so-pleasant divorce she is back in Pittsburgh.
But when Priscilla never emerges from the bank, Fiona starts thinking, which may or may not be such a good thing. Did Priscilla blow her off, get knocked off by her ex? So many possibilities and no way to get answers. But Fiona, being Fiona, just can't let her mind rest and makes several trips to the now closed for the holiday bank. Everything looks fine and dandy except for the little old lady who keeps frequenting the ATM, but whatever. Until the whatever gives Fiona a new thought!
Banking on a Murder is a fun a quick read that can be enjoyed over a long lunch break. The story is entertaining and at places very amusing. I have to admit that I did not expect the conclusion that occurred and I'd say most people in a similar position would not expect this outcome either. The story is easy to follow and even if you have never read any Fiona Quinn mysteries before you won't get lost in not knowing what happened previously.
I was provided a complimentary copy of this book with no expectations but that I provide my honest opinion - All thoughts expressed are my own.

Harriet's HeistA Fiona Quinn Quick Mystery
By C.S. McDonald
Fiona is flying down to visit with her parents and at her arrival, her mother informs her that her downtime is booked with a case that needs Fiona's attention to detail and her expertise. After all she is dating an FBI agent or was it the CIA? Nope, Nathan Landry has been a valuable addition to the President's Secret Service detail. (Oh, boy!)
The gated retirement community that Fiona's parents call home has become a target to jewel thieves and Nancy Quinn is positive that her daughter Fiona can get the case sorted and solved in the few days that she is visiting.
And when Nancy decides to "help" let's just say it does not good well. And Harriet is soon deeply involved in the case. If you don't know who Harriet is - she is Fiona's white Maltese.
Harriet's Heist is a fun a quick read that can be listened to over a couple of lunch breaks or a long commute drive. The story is entertaining and at places very amusing. Fiona's mother, let's just say I'm sure Fiona is glad that they now live in Florida. The story is easy to follow and even if you have never read any Fiona Quinn mysteries before you won't get lost in not knowing what happened previously.
The narration by Maren Swenson Waxenberg is excellent, the pacing is good, and the voices of each of the characters are identifiable.
