About This Audiobook

In 'To Err is Cumin', author Leslie Budewitz weaves a tantalizing tale of small-town secrets and big-city crime. Amateur sleuth and spice shop owner Pepper Reece stumbles upon a mysterious windfall and must navigate the complexities of her community to uncover the truth. Budewitz's writing is as vibrant as the Pike Place Market setting, with characters that leap off the page and a plot that twists and turns like a Seattle street performer's juggling act. Rosenberg's narration brings Pepper to life with a warm, engaging tone that perfectly captures the Spice Shop owner's quirky charm.
With its blend of cozy mystery and suspenseful thrills, 'To Err is Cumin' is a delicious treat for fans of the genre. It's a story that's equal parts food for the soul and brain-teaser for the mind. Rosenberg's pacing is spot-on, moving seamlessly from the cozy comfort of Pepper's shop to the darker corners of the city's underbelly. It's a true page-turner - or, in this case, a true listen- till-the-end.

Editor's Review ★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

I've listened to my fair share of mysteries, but 'To Err is Cumin' is one of the few that truly caught me off guard. Dara Rosenberg's narration is, without a doubt, the star of the show. Her ability to convey Pepper's wit, warmth, and determination had me rooting for the amateur sleuth from the very start. One of the things that sets 'To Err is Cumin' apart from other mysteries is its thoughtful exploration of community and belonging. Budewitz shows us that, even in the most unlikely of places, people can come together to support one another and uncover the truth. It's a beautiful, heartwarming message that adds depth to an already engaging story. One of my only criticisms is that some of the supporting characters feel a tad one-dimensional. I would have loved to see more development of Pepper's friends and family, who feel like they exist on the periphery of the story. Nevertheless, this is a minor quibble in what is otherwise a delightful listen.
