When the protagonist is a sociopathy that lives by the words of Marcus Aurelius you know you’re in for an unpredictable, scary adventure. FRENCH QUARTER REQUIEM doesn’t disappoint.

Author Roland Yeomans has created a captivating, intense story set in post-World War II Hollywood and its dark underbelly with a side trip to a haunted mansion in New Orleans. The author shares a new look at Hollywood icons such as Alfred Hitchcock and Cecil B. DeMille.

Narrator Scott O’Dell does a wonderful job of bringing all the characters to life. He gives each their own unique voice. O’Dell adds depth to the story through his mannerisms. His tones and speech flow are perfect for this spooky story.

Yeomans has blended historical figures, captivating landmarks and bewitching new characters into a gripping story of murder and intrigue. The author’s ferocious research and energetic imagination fused into a compelling story of tangled lives and ghosts.

With unexpected twists and turns, you never know what to expect next. A fascinating story from beginning to end.

Enjoyable Mystery, Fun Characters

Revisado: 06-25-20 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Narrator Mike Alger does a great job bringing the characters to life by giving a unique voice to each one. His steady pace and distinct tones add depth to this already intriguing story. His mannerisms add to the personalities of the characters making them more realistic to the listeners.

The story is a wonderful mixture of humor, suspense, mystery, and a touch of romance wrapped around a conspiracy plot. The characters are quirky and likeable. The author skillfully weaves canines as major characters making readers/listeners believe their participation in this fascinating story.

There are several leads of thought going on throughout the tale, but it’s easy to follow all and not be lost along the way. While this is the fourth installment in the series, the story stands on its own. If you’re new to the series as I was, it will make you want to follow up on the previous stories just for the fun of it to find out where all the various characters come from.

The Nutcracker Conspiracy will hold your attention with zany characters, unexpected twists, and a tantalizing mystery to solve.

I was proved an audio copy of this book, but the thoughts are completely my own and not influenced by the gift.
