Murder Most Owl is a delightful cozy mystery that happens to feature a murder plot. Really it’s the adventures of a woman and her two very special canine friends. I felt that the mystery plot line was well done. There were enough clues to help figure out the culprit if you paid attention, but there were also plenty of misdirections woven throughout. In all honesty, I would have read this for the mischief Georgie and Dorothy’s two dogs get into. I also enjoyed the slow burn romance between Georgie and the new farmhand. While there were secrets to work though, overall, their relationship was simply sweet. I read this via audiobook and really enjoyed Hallie Bee Bard’s narration. She did well to bring Georgie’s emotions out. You could feel the anxiety, exasperation, and excitement all throughout the story. I would definitely recommend reading this one via audiobook.

I listened to the audiobook and the narrator was perfect- a sweet, warm tone with different voices for different characters. This is the first in a new series that has so many potential storylines to make a long series! I loved the way the author described everything thoroughly- perfect for cozy writing. I can’t wait to read the next one and I highly recommend to other cozy lovers!

Murder Most Owl by Sarah Fox was a lovely little cozy mystery, and I can't wait for the next one in the series to come out. I enjoyed the narrator.

Thank you to Sarah Fox, Dreamscape Media, and NetGalley for allowing me to listen to a free eaudio ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Better than I expected! I guessed whodunit, but the why was a bit out of left field. Nevertheless, the mystery was intriguing. If you like this book, though, it's because you adore the animals. Georgie is likeable and endearing, as is Auntie O and Callum, but the mysteriously talented Flossy, Fancy, and Euclid are what entertained me most. It bordered on too many characters, but I think I kept track of them all. I'm a little disappointed that Callum's an affluent celebrity; I wanted him to be just an ordinary guy who likes working with animals, but it's inconsequential. I also expected the magic to be more overt, but it's fine that it's not. Overall a pleasant cozy mystery with great characters. The narrator, Hallie Bee Bard, delivered the narrative with personality and warmth, she was excellent.

Magical Doggos and a Mystical Owl! What more do you need in a new paranormal cosy? Oho, lets just give you a cinnamon roll farmhand, a seaside town, and a cracking mystery!

I must admit that I zipped through this cozy which isn't fair because it is absolutely fantastic! I wanted to give it more time and so I have by listening to the ALC and it has been just as fantastic! No matter if you read or listen to the very well narrated audiobook, this is fun, well written and the character building was delightful as was the scene setting

Sarah Fox is definitely an author to follow and I recommend Murder Most Owl very highly!
