New Math Is Murder
The Jersey Girl Mysteries, Book 1
By: Jo-Ann Lamon Reccoppa
Narrated by: Meghan Kelly
There is nothing better than a good cozy mystery and Jo-Ann Lamon Reccoppa delivers with New Math is Murder. There is a good story, a little humor and even a little romance! Colleen Caruso, recently divorced is trying to make some changes to her life. Jogging is one, and this day, she finds her daughter's Algebra teacher dead in her path. No, this does not bode well for her. But now given the chance by her boss to do some investigative reporting to find the killer, she is looking to advance at her job and clear herself as well as her best friend! The question is will she be able to do it? Will she find herself in the midst of something bigger? And what about the attraction between herself and her editor? Will it be a conflict? This is so much fun. An easy listen, it is a great whodunit, keeping me engaged and wondering until the very end! What a surprise! The perfect weekend listen, I highly recommend it.
The narration is by one of my favorite, versatile narrators, Meghan Kelly. Kelly has a way of choosing her voices and in many cases, there are many in the books and finding the perfect one for her characters. Each is original and easy to determine who is speaking. I am in awe of her talent and love to listen to her. This book had many characters, and each was distinguishable and well suited. Loved the narration.

This book was a pleasant, quick read. I really felt for Colleen, and being from Jersey helped a bit on that. She's a frustrated, reluctantly now single mom and a likable character. I enjoyed her antics and while I'd like to think that if I had two children I'd be a bit more careful about my life, I'd respond to things the way she did.
A lot of other mystery novels has the heroine laying down and just taking the flak she gets on a day to day basis. "Being the bigger person." But Colleen is realistic in that she rightfully wants to strangle her ex and can't handle her family all the time.
All in all a great read and I'd love to keep reading about Colleen and her new life.
