Mystery author and sometimes amateur sleuth Christopher Holmes is settling into domesticity with his sometimes rival, sometimes nemesis J.X. Moriarity when he learns a body has been discovered in the backyard of his former home.

It’s life as usual at Chez Holmes. In other words…murder.
REVIEW:
This is the first book in the series that I actually listened to. But since audios have (kinda) taken over my life I figured I’d give it a go. And I was not disappointed!
Life isn’t always blissful. At least not when your ex calls you up out of the blue asking whether you killed the man that particular ex ran off with. And buried said man in the backyard of your home…. To say that Christopher Holmes is less than amused to become a suspect in that investigation is putting it mildly. However, he does want to know who and what happened to the person buried in his former backyard, so of course he starts sleuthing – again. Things get even more complicated, and dangerous, when an old foe from the past makes his return and he does not have peace on his mind.
Kit and J.X.’s relationship started out very rocky and since the first book there has been many ups and downs, twists and turns, fights and arguments, but finally they are enjoying Life as a solid couple, they are at the same place, want the same things (for the most part) – and they are going in the same direction. They are mature and comfortable and after everything it’s a nice thing to see.
The mystery was as always a good one, there were a lot of twists and turns and it kept me entertained and guessing. Add in the stalking sub-plot and the book was filled to the brim – what else can a girl ask for?
Kevin R. Free did a fantastic narration of this book. He nailed the feelings, the intonations, he took you into the story and made you live with Kit and J.X. It was always easy to know who was talking as the voices for the different characters were distinct and on point. I haven’t listened to Free’s narrations before, but this sure won’t be the last book of his I pick up.
In Other Words…Murder was a wonderful addition to the series and highly recommended to anyone wanting some mystery to their romance.
