About this listen
Reporter Colleen Caruso was never good at math.
A stingy ex-husband, a teenage daughter, and a rusted-out Ford Escort have multiplied her troubles. Tripping over a dead body while on her morning jog seems like another incident for the minus column.
But then her new editor at the newspaper gives her a regular column detailing the investigation. He's handsome, single, and just a bit mysterious. Suddenly, Colleen's life is on the plus side.
Unfortunately, one dead algebra teacher plus two secret affairs plus four suspicious suspects quickly adds up to three perilous "accidents" for Colleen.
Which means Colleen needs to come up with the solution to the murder…before the killer removes her from the equation.

New Math Is Murder
This book turned out to be so much more than a cozy mystery, I thought it has more depths and character to the plot. The characters were definitely entertaining, and her ex husband is a real piece of work. My favorite part was her driving off the dock. Fantastic narration, she really brought the story to life!

Enjoyable Cozy Mystery! Wonderful Narration🎧
This is a fast moving and entertaining cozy mystery, it is my first Jo-Ann Lamon Reccoppa and I enjoyed her writing style and the interesting and original storylines she created. Her descriptive details bring you right alongside the characters and allow you to see what they are seeing, thinking, and feeling. The characters are realistic, easy to relate to and connect with. Colleen Caruso is divorcing her husband, who cheated on her and left her for that younger woman. Colleen, a reporter for a local rag, is out for a morning jog when she lands on a dead body and her editor makes her the lead reporter for a column detailing the investigation. She is not an experienced investigative reporter, but she gives it her best go and she uncovers a lot more than she bargained for while following the clues. She also finds someone is not liking what she is uncovering, is she getting closer to solving the case or is she on to something else? Colleen has a lot on her plate juggling work, taking care of her family with any help from her cheating ex, which is making it hard for her financially, but she keeps her head up and everything going. Great plotting puts all the pieces together by the end, it is a great who done it type of mystery, it keeps you thinking and on your toes as you try to figure it all out. Ms. Reccoppa, thank you for this enjoyable story.
🎧📚🎧 And for the fabulous narration, Meghan Kelly is a superbly talented narrator and a versatile voice artist. She had a complete understanding of the characters she portrayed, gave each a voice that fit the character’s persona, sounding believable in every role she played and just as I pictured the characters to sound. Her Colleen was spot on, I loved how she took the role and made it her own, captured her strength and her every emotion and had you feeling every single one, she was great covering the roles of all the other characters as well. Meghan Kelly is an entertaining storyteller and her narration enhances this story to another level. Thank you for another amazing listen, it is always a pleasure to listen to your books.

Whodunnit?
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.

What an enjoyable little mystery!!! Great characters and engaging storyline that kept me listening. Ken was such a great go to hero for Colleen- always there when she needed him and sometimes before she knew she needed him. Colleen's ex was a total waste. The banter, humor and interactions were quite entertaining. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a great job bringing the characters and story to life.

Fun mystery!
I wonder what I would do if I tripped over a body? Well Colleen did what most of us would do...panic. Newly divorced, working to raise 2 teens and simply survive life at the moment, Colleen is a relatable character. She is doing the best she knows how with what she's got and with the support of her family, she is able to get it done. My favorite scene is when she took the broom to her ex-husband. So much humor in this book!
I listened to the audiobook version of this and, once again, Meghan Kelly ROCKS. Meghan is a true story teller who brings the characters to life.
I highly recommend!

A great cozy
It’s never a good start to the day to trip over a corpse, yet that’s exactly what Colleen faced. As the mystery unravels, Colleen try’s to piece things together before she become the next victim.
Jo-Ann Lamon Reccoppa is a new author for me, and I really enjoyed her story. Her characters are down to earth and the mystery kept me guessing. I’m looking forward to seeing more from her.
Meghan Kelly is one of my favorite narrators! Her performance was so lively and entertaining. I would love to see her narrate more books in this series.
