Cat's Review of Drama Runway (Nicky and Noah Mysteries book 10) Written by Joe Cosentino Narrated by Caleb Meacham @JoeCosen @TTCBooksandmore

Drama Runway


It’s spring break at Treemeadow College, and theater professor Nicky Abbondanza is directing a runway show for the Fashion Department. Joining him are his spouse, theater professor Noah Oliver, their son, Taavi, and their best friend and department head, Martin Anderson. The show, designed by visiting professor Ulla Ultimate, is bound to be the ultimate event of the season. And bound it is with designs featuring black leather and chains.

When sexy male models drop faster than their leather chaps, Nicky and Noah will need to use their drama skills to figure out who is taking the term “a cut male model” literally before Nicky and Noah end up steamed in the wardrobe steamer.

You will be applauding and shouting bravo for Joe Cosentino’s fast-paced, side-splittingly funny, edge-of-your-seat entertaining 10th novel in this delightful series. Take your seats. The runway is lighting up with hunky models, volatile designers, bitter exes, newfound lovers, and murder!

Cat's eBook Review: Cat gives this one 5 Meows with a 1 Purr heat index (no actual sex but lots of innuendos)... 

This is the 10th Nicky and Noah Mystery. You can read them as standalone, but you get to know the characters better if read in order.  No matter the order you read them, they are fast-paced and hilarious, suspenseful cozy mysteries.

Nicky and Noah are husbands and work at a local college in the Drama and Theater departments. This spring they are putting on a male fashion show for a famous visiting Fashion director. Nicky and his husband always have their hands full with the show especially when bodies start to drop, and Nicky pulls out his amateur sleuthing skills to solve the mysteries with the help of his husband, son, and buddies.  There are always lots of laughs to be had, and I have to admit I haven’t solved one of these mysteries on my own yet since the twists are astounding. I sure did not see this one coming.

Where all of these books are good I think this one may have been the best yet!
Cat's Audiobook Review: Cat gives this 5 meows story 4 performance, 4 overall...

As usual the story is hilarious, lots of puns, murders, and twists. The usual characters, Nicky, Noah, Taavi, Martin and Ruben are funny, interesting and loveable. Then add in the new cast for the book with more interesting characters and the plots snd the story is awesome, 

I think this was different narrator though and though the narration is good especially Nicky, I just felt several of the voices were too cartoonish. Other than that, the pacing, excitement and everything was really good.
