That ornery, but oh, so handsome, charming, and somewhat, wayward angel, Detective Bobby Starr, has returned. This time, he’s back to fulfill his third and, hopefully, his final requirement to get into Saint Peter’s prestigious Guardian Angel Squad. This time, the usually reluctant time traveler, Alexa Owl, is ready to go back to the 1960’s to assist in solving one more long-ago murder. Why? Because if all goes well, she’ll be rid of the menacing angel once and for all. Except, an emergency jerks Alexa back to her own time, and to complicate matters, she’s got a tag-along. Can Bobby solve this last case without Alexa’s help? After all, she’s got her hands full with a life-or-death mystery in the twenty-first century!

MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK
@iReadBookTours
I have grown to love C.J. McDonald’s books, and I am excited to review an audio copy of The audio book. Alexa and Detective Bobby Star (well that is his ghost) are trying to solve Bobby’s wife’s murder. There is a bit of time travel from current time to back in the 1950’s, to solve the murder. The 1950’s was intriguing for me because that’s the era I was born, and I enjoyed the information in the book that refered to that time. This entire story will entertain you for a while. The characters are fun and enjoyable and they play their parts well throughout the story. And throughout ending makes you hungry for more from author C.J. McDonald.
I really enjoyed the audio version of Back to the Burgh and Beyond. The narrator, Maren Swenson Waxenberg does amazingly well reading this book. Her pleasant voice and the punctuations throughout the book made the story more interesting to listen to. I look forward to listening to more books by Ms. Waxenberg. If you haven’t tried audiobooks, I think this one would be a great one to start with. And you will enjoy a really good cozy mystery wile listening.
A special thanks to the author/publisher for a copy of this audiobook. I am not required to write a positive review, the opinions here are mine alone. I am disclosing this with my review in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255.

The Owl’s Nest Couturier Shoppe is a huge success! Business is booming and Alexa Owl’s love life is heating up. Yet much to the seamstress’s dismay, Detective Bobby Starr is suddenly back again! Bobby isn’t your everyday gumshoe. Rather, he’s an angel who’s trying to earn a place in Saint Peter’s Guardian Angel Squad. He’s required to solve murders he had left unsettled from when he walked the earth in order to be accepted into this prestigious group. Of course, they will need to return to the time period in which the murder took place, and again, Alexa is a reluctant time traveler. Oh, and there’s one more little problem—this time, Bobby’s brought along a friend, Maxi Krogen, and she’s no angel!

Cindy’s newest venture is The Owl’s Nest Mysteries. Once again, she has set her cozy mystery in Pittsburgh and the female protagonist, Alexa Owl, is much different from Fiona Quinn. The Owl’s Nest Mysteries has a little grit, a little time travel, a little romance, and a whole lot of cozy!
Ms. McDonald resides on her Thoroughbred farm known as Fly by Night Stables near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, with her husband, Bill, and her poorly behaved Cocker Spaniel, Allister.
