About this listen
Hold on to your seats as hilarious and talented cozy mystery author, Jenna St. James, takes you on the ride of your life! You’ll laugh, you’ll cringe, you may even scream during this rollicking romp through the town of Granville, Missouri.
Ryli Sinclair had no idea that moonlighting as a forensic photographer for the Granville Police Department would put her directly in the path of a crazed killer. Determined to identify the murderer before she becomes the next victim, Ryli enlists the help of her best friend, Paige, and her elderly great-aunt, Shirley, a former private investigator. From the driver’s seat of Aunt Shirley’s coveted ’65 Falcon, Ryli and the girls are hot on the trail of the murderer…and hilarity ensues, as the ridiculously handsome chief of police, Garrett Kimble, throws stumbling blocks in their path at every turn.

Great story!
Very fun mystery, with a likable and relatable main character. My only issue was in the audiobook, the narrator actually messed up a couple times, and it was left in! That makes it seem very amateur, and distracted from the story. But I still enjoyed the story and look forward to reading the next in the series!

LOVED IT
This book was fantastic. Kept me in stitches throughout. Ryli just could not stay out of trouble. Even when the Garrett, the detective, asked who to stay out of it. But nope. She and her friend and her great aunt get together to try and solve two different murders. Boy did these three crack me up. I love this series. I definitely will do more of these. The narrator did a great job with these characters. I was gifted this book in exchange for a voluntary review.

Quirky Fun To Enjoy
Kylie was a forensic photographer,part time .the deceased was Dr Garver, No well liked in this small town. She has to report to the chief before going home. He wants her to leave the investigation and questions for the professionals. That isn’t her, so with best friend Paige, and a great aunt, they do there sleuthing . It was a quirky fun mystery to read, enjoyable of who and why to figure out.
Given ARC audio which brought this story to life. For my voluntary review and my honest opinion

Love the characters and the story line was great! Plot twist at the end! The only thing that bothered me was that the narrator had a little lisp or something. Easy to overlook with a great story.

I adore Ryli Sinclair!
This is my first title from Jenna St. James and I must say I adore the Ryli Sinclair series and look forward to reading about more of her hijinks. The secondary characters steal the show in this one; especially Aunt Shirley. The old gal was a hoot! Picture Perfect Murder is a laugh out loud, cozy mystery and I definitely recommend it.
The narrator, Shoshannah Kramer, is a perfect Ryli and really brought the character out. Her male narration left a bit to desired but all in all, I enjoyed the narration.

Fun Cozy Mystery
This was a really fun start to a series. Ryli is a photographer and she'll take what she can get even if it's doing crime scene photos to help bring in money. The characters are a lot of fun and the storyline kept me guessing. The narrator was really cute and fun to listen to but I did think she's struggled a bit with the male voices. Overall, it was a great cozy mystery and I will be looking for the next one in the series to come out.
