A road trip full of bumps. Short, light and fun to read.

A seriously fun read. Might have trouble with the one of the character's names constantly reminding me of a Jane Austin novel, but that was oddly a good thing.

Solidly mediocre, a nice fluffy distraction to audiobook while knitting Christmas presents.

It's a cute novella. It lacked the mystery element that I love about Molly Harper books but its not bad for a short little romance. It has hilarious high-jinx for sure :).

So hilarious! Reminded me a lot of Jane - so accident prone.

Seriously loving this series. Though I'm a little confused. Audible has this book down as 0.5 in the series, but Goodreads has it as 1.5 (yes, I thought I was being clever getting 0.5 before getting book 1 *sigh*). Thankfully, it doesn't seem to matter too much, as they're pretty stand alone, despite being interlinked, if that makes sense

I know Molly Harper is funny, and I know Amanda Ronconi does a great job narrating her books. In fact, I've never actually read a print book by Harper. I've only listened to them on audio. When Driving Mr. Dead went on sale for $5 at audible I snapped it up without hesitation. As usual, I'm not disappointed. The story in Driving Mr. Dead was different than I expected, but then I'm never sure exactly what to expect from this author! I definitely laughed out loud through the novella and listened to all 5+ hours in almost a single sitting. (I had to stop and be sociable to my husband and kids at one point. :::sigh:::) I loved Miranda and her crazy life. I enjoyed the uptight Colin, as well. I didn't think Ronconi's voice for Colin was great, but it was okay. She sounded too breathy sometimes and didn't keep a consistent accent for him, but I forgave her because in all other ways her narration was perfect. She really understands Harper's characters and writing. Ronconi's timing is fantastic and adds to the humor. Recommended!
