Pomona Afton Can So Solve a Murder by Bellamy Rose (Audiobook)
This was such a fun and cute story. At first I wasn’t sure about it- a spoiled rich girl solving a murder? Well it didn’t take long before I found myself really liking the main character Pomona.
When Pomona’s grandmother is found murdered she learns that all her grandmother’s assets have been frozen which means Pomona has nothing. She has never had nothing in her whole life. The will stated that if her grandmother died in an unnatural way nobody was getting anything until her murder was solved. Pomona gets a fast lesson in what it’s like to be on her own and be one of the people she used to look down on. Pomona is desperate to get her life back so she takes matters into her own hands and sets out to find out what happened. With her penthouse gone she ends up rooming with her old nanny’s son Gabe and oh my Gabe has turned out well but never mind that – she has a murder to solve. After a rocky start though the two team up and investigate everyone and everything, as well as begin to learn more about each other (maybe some romantic notions going on).
I loved watching Pomona grow into a different person. She gets a job which later turns into more and she met people she never would have given a nod to in her previous life. She also realized how unreasonable she had always been and that there were more important things in life and began to mend broken relationships. Of course she was still Miss Fashion and all but a much better version.
Jennifer Jill Araya narrates the audiobook and she was the perfect choice for Pomona. She brought all the little traits of Pomona to life as well as portrayed the changes she undertook in discovering more about herself. I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it for your summer reading list!
