Ms. Cheryl Bannerman creates a delightful protagonist in the first installment of the Anna Romano Mystery Series. Anna is a famous author, fabulous Italian cook, and cat lover. The relatable layers of this character are artfully teased out with her interactions with the actions occurring around her and the detective assigned to investigate her stalker accusations.
Anna’s sense of humor is front and center with her cats, while her secrets are hidden even from the detective, who makes her awareness soar. Detective Solace likes her cats enough to help care for them when Anna is missing. He is the perfect offset to her humorous side with a genuine fondness for her cooking. The twists and turns in this light-hearted mystery keep the pages turning. Copies of the recipes interweaved throughout the story would be an ideal bonus.
The narration of the story by Robin Waters was good. The pacing of the delivery was a bit sluggish in places, but there were no significant audio issues. It is a fun start to a series that will undoubtedly strengthen over time. The plot premise is good, with an ending that caught me flatfooted—a good series for those who desire a quick, enjoyable escape.
There were no issues with the quality or production of this audiobook.

This was cute! Very short but I liked the intro to this series- the cats were fun! I listened to the audiobook and the narrator was great, caught my interest right away and kept it throughout the story.

OMG this was a super cute cozy and I now have another series to add to my ever-expanding list! What could be better than a mystery writer who loves cats and is an awesome baker/cook?! Like that ticks all the boxes! I can't wait to see what shenanigans she gets up to in the next book!

I was amazed that such a short book could pack such a great punch within itself.
Anna Romano is an author who goes to NYC for a book signing event. There she comes in contact with a mysterious red haired man who she immediately reports to the detectives as a possible stalker. Soon she goes missing, having been kidnapped by the same man and it is a race against time for the detectives to find her unharmed.
I kept thinking of this as a pretty straightforward book with your average stalker character when this book managed to surprise me completely with its ultimate twist. I absolutely loved the story and the pacing of it and this was the perfect fit for me at a time when I am feeling burned out for more heavier books.
4 stars.

Cats, Cannolis and a Curious Kidnapping
Is a wild mad-capped ride that your sure to enjoy. Anna Ramona is mature, single author and self admitted mom to 7 cats who unwittingly finds herself smack dab in the middle of mystery. She also enjoys an occasional daydream. At a book signing event she believes she may have a stalker . Is it case of an overactive writer’s imagination? The stalker Talon, believes that Anna knows his secrets. Secrets that he’s willing to kill to keep silent. Working tirelessly on the case is the handsome Detective Solis. The detective likes cats, cannolis and maybe even Anna. If you’re a fan of cozy mysteries, this is a must read. I can’t wait for the next installment in this series.
