Lost and Found Love

About This Audiobook

Holly Zajac’s *Lost and Found Love* isn’t your average cozy mystery—it’s a deceptively clever, small-town tale where a café’s lost-and-found ledger becomes the unlikely gateway to uncovering secrets, second chances, and a romance that simmers beneath the surface. At The Memory Nook, owner Jillian Hargrove prides herself on reuniting people with their misplaced treasures, but when a vintage pocket watch surfaces with a cryptic inscription inside, she stumbles into a cold case that’s haunted her for years. The book’s charm lies in its meticulous world-building: Zajac paints the café as a character itself, with the hum of coffee machines and the scent of cinnamon rolls serving as the soundtrack to its low-key investigations. The tone walks a tightrope between lighthearted and melancholic, making it perfect for listeners who want intrigue without outright dread.

Narrator Guillaume Dubois deserves special mention here—his French accent lends an air of sophistication to the setting, and his delivery strikes a balance between warmth and gravitas. The short runtime (just over an hour) means the story never overstays its welcome, though some may find the plot’s resolution a tad too tidy. Still, the emotional core—the idea that love and loss are often tied to the objects we lose—elevates this beyond a standard whodunit into something quietly profound.
