Crossed by Death

Written by ACF Bookens

Narrated by Kristin Price

Salvaging from historic buildings isn’t supposed to require reporting a murder.​

When salvage expert and historian Paisley Sutton crawls into an abandoned store with a house attached, she certainly isn’t expecting to find a body on site. But soon, her discovery sends Paisley on an expedition through history that links this murder to the one that led the previous owners to abandon the building in the first place. And someone doesn’t want her to salvage this story from the wreckage.

Can Paisley preserve herself and her young son while also uncovering the stories that matter most?

Enjoyable! I love the delving into history and families. The salvaging of old homes/buildings.

I liked the story and the characters and the presentation. My only irritation was that the 2-year-old toddler felt more like a 4-year-old

Way to much toddler time for the type of book. Way to much sugar for a 2y/o. Also she had great support from a lot if family but thought it was ok too keep her toddler in a car with a cat next to the building that was close to collapse. The mystery was okish

Nice clean cozy. No s--, no cussing, main character seems to be Christian.

Good story but had a lot of agendas and tried to teach about subjects and was a little preachy. I happen to agree with that information, but it seemed to be inserted awkwardly. Single-parent struggles were mentioned many, many times. I'll try another book by the author to give her another try. Some things could have been shown instead of said in a literal way.

Cozy mystery with a great story line and plot. The narration was very good and easy to listen to. Highly recommend for an easy listen to get lost in.

I am really enjoying this authors books. I think they are enjoyable to listen to. The narrator readings are amazing. She catches the characters and makes it a real story not just reading the book with her voice changes. Job done well by all involved. Thank you for the hours of entertainment.

Mysterious, heartwarming, interesting, and with a little romance all rolled into this wonderfully written and narratored book. This book is part of a series. Well worth sharing, and I look forward to finding more from this author and narrator.

This was a different kind of book than I normally read, but the storyline was good.

Positively the most annoying book. I don't think I've ever just quit a book- but this is so awful I couldn't stand anymore.
