Shitake Mystery

review 1: This was a really fun read. Think of an action thriller mixed with a romantic comedy and you have In Deep Shitake. The characters were awesome and you really come to love and root for them as they stumble through their many misadventures. This novel was really funny. It had me laughing all the way through. The two main characters and their interesting relationship was a driving force pulling you further into the story as the characters constantly faced more urgent matters. There is a big mystery that gets revealed by the end of the book, and I didn't guess how it would all shake out. There are lots ingredients that come together to make In Deep Shitake great. Humor, action, mystery, romance, and the interesting characters.I do have to give a content warning. There were a c... moreouple of scenes that were too steamy for my tastes so I skipped over them but it was easy to tell what happened in the dialog following those scenes. They had a lot of impact on the story and its characters too. These were not scenes thrown in to shock the readers and they made sense for the story.I listened to the audiobook version of this novel and the narrator Michael Karl Orenstein did a terrific job. He was great at portraying the different characters with wonderful accents, pitch changes, and inflections. There were a lot of funny characters that showed up all over the book in small scenes and Orenstein came up with perfect voices for all of them. Many times I'm sure I was laughing a lot harder for his spot on delivery and rendering of a character's voice than if I had been reading the eBook or paperback. His acting was superb in all the dialog, and his narrator's voice was smooth and engaging. I would definitely pick up another audiobook narrated by him.To wrap it up I would recommend this story to anyone who is looking to have a good time reading a novel. It was just what I needed after reading IT by Stephen King. A normal length novel that shows you a really great time. This book had lovable characters with interesting relationships, cool action, a great love story, and a lot of laughs.
review 2: Mo (short for Imogene) Tuttle works as a private detective. She's done everything from serving papers to car repossessions. It's a dirty job, but Mo is good at it. At least, she likes to think she is. However, when she gets caught breaking into a car (on the job, of course) by the car's owner, she rethinks her skills. Armed with a sharp wit and her mad skills, Mo uncovers an intricate plot that goes much deeper than she or her new client thought.Why Shitake, you might ask. Because Mo tries hard not to swear. She's found that food substitutes well for more vernacular language. This is a charming, fast paced, entertaining mystery. I highly recommend it!Five Golden Acorns© 2014 Dellani Oakes less
