Disappointed. The story was "blah"

Revisado: 10-23-22

I've read all or most of WKK Cork O'Connor series and was looking forward to this latest one in his series. The narrator though I am used to his voice was patchy. It seemed like, clauses were "patched" in. It wasn't smooth. Seemed there were some "voice overs that didn't flow. At moments at the end of the story, the narrator's voice would go so low it was difficult to understand.

Aside from that, the plot was boring. The purpose of the "chase" was not revealed until the end. I would not recommend this book. It was blah, the characters dull.

Spencer, please write a decent, informative ending

Revisado: 01-15-22

This is my .3rd Chet and Bernie listen, beginning with Dog On It, that led me to Paw and Order- entertaining. This book will most likely be my last Chet and Bernie. Chet is delightful with a lot of "dog" sense that only a true dog lover could convey. However, this book leaves a lot of unanswered questions. the investigation though supposedly with a happy ending leaves no wrap up. Basically who did the kidnaping and why. The ending fizzled. I though the same with Paw and Order.

My other complaint/ irritation with this audiobook is the heavy breather narrator. Can't the editors cut the every 10 second inhale? Yikes. He has a clear voice which is nice, but the huh, huh sounds that the reader has to listen to is disturbing!

Split Decision on the Quality of this Book

Revisado: 12-05-21

I enjoy one of the main characters, Chet the Jet and the author's ingenuity in this dog's dialogue. I read "Dog on It" and decided to keep going with the series, especially since I got a 2 for one deal. Both books have a mystery, but also humor. "Paw and Order" was enjoyable until the last chapter. Our hero kidnaps a woman (is that ok? I think not), there is no explanation as to who murdered the victim, how the gun got to the crime scene, why all these people were shooting each other; what are all these Russians were doing and why, and who is Ferretti? There's more that is so crude and ridiculous to the story, I can't mention it.

The performance and horrible unexplained ending leave a lot to be desired; too many "leave outs."

The narrator though clear, did a constant breath at the end of every other sentence. Why did the editors allow this??? and not edit out his horrible distracting breathing. "Huh, huh, huh. " It was constant and annoying.

I want to ask Mr. Quinn: after writing such a cute, sensitive, creative book - why did you do such a lousy job wrapping up the story? Who killed the victim and why???

Perfect Narrator

Revisado: 11-02-20

Loved the narrator!! Not only wasn't he a "breather", his voice was perfect in inflection, tone, accent,etc. easy to listen to. The character could not be the same without this narrator's addition to the story. He was the story.

Narrator can't read!

Revisado: 09-15-20

Not only did the author know very little about enneagrams, the narrator was awful. Carl Jung is pronounced Yoong, not Jung. Carolyn Myss is pronounced Mace, not Miss. These were some of many errors in speech. I got to Chapter 8 and gave up. It was boring, the author's sentences were run on and he didn't have enough information on the enneagram. Don't waste a credit.

Very much worth a read

The author, although not correct on everything regarding the Church, gives a very balanced view of traditions in the Church and explains them. I highly recommend this book.

Horrible

Revisado: 07-29-20

I purchased 2 Rachel Abbot (based a lot on their 4 to 5 star rating) books for my 400 mile drive each way through California, a horrible place to listen to a boring book. I could not get past 45 minutes of listening. I kept waiting for it to take a turn and get interesting.

From the beginning it gets worse.

Revisado: 07-29-20

I stuck with this book and it finally started to get somewhat interesting at about the 27th chapter. I had nothing else to listen to at the time or I would have taken it back. All three main characters were horrible; not likable. There was no one to root for. It was depressing, discouraging.

It was glued to my ears!

Revisado: 07-29-20

The best book I have listened to in years! I loved this book. I was excited to listen to it, didn't want it to end. Those seven hours went by way too fast. I have had to send more than one mystery book back this year because they were so horrible either in story or narration. But this is a classic, nostalgic, entertaining mystery novel with under tones of humor, 21st century and millennial characters and a roughish, sincere detective.

Many aspects of this book were special, but I was surprised and delighted in the end, when the crime was solved, the audio book was complete with the traditional detective music. Can’t wait for his next book!

Hopefully there will be more detective novels from Kelsey Grammer. He has an excellent narrator voice – with neither a slurp, a swallow or a mispronunciation, almost always occurring in audio books. His voice is clear, smooth, with enough inflection and pacing to distinguish the characters.
