Really terrible

Revisado: 08-18-24

This book is written so poorly. There is so much telling instead of showing, and the main character is so unrealistic. She has no personality and is really annoying and unlikable. I listen to a lot of cozies, and this one is one of the worst I’ve ever heard. I finished it bc I paid for it but I wouldn’t go on to read more. It’s really silly and kind of boring.

Please change narrator

Revisado: 01-24-24

For some reason, they have a new narrator for the series and it honestly kind of ruins the whole experience. She is a good narrator objectively, but she’s completely the wrong voice for this series. She’s aged the main character by forty years stylistically, and the voices for the other characters are dreadful. It is very hard to get through because I’m completely taken out of the story by how incompatible the narration fits with a series I was really starting to love. I see they are staying with the new narrator for the next five books, and I am so disappointed. I don’t know if I can keep on listening. I started book four, and it’s kind of painful.

Absurd and flat

Revisado: 01-13-24

I wanted to read a complex and satisfying mystery, but this book falls completely flat. I’m fine with unlikable characters, but there is not one believable or redeeming character in the lot. The men are misogynist a-holes and the women are caricatures. The plot is absolutely absurd. There is no suspense bc remarkably, the characters figure out the twists and turns without much effort at all. There are maybe two middling surprises, but in the end—literally—everything just happens bc it happens. There are so many unneeded descriptions of things that don’t matter. Ugh. I’m infuriated. So so disappointing.

Ridiculous and gross

Revisado: 08-18-23

First, the plot and twists are absurd and so unbelievable, I would have laughed if they weren’t also across the board disgusting. I listen to and read a lot of true crime, but this was beyond. It’s almost as if the writer was in a competition for who could come up with the most gratuitous, over the top grossest violence. And for what? To take the most vulnerable character and exploit this person for no purpose other than trauma porn is baffling. I stopped listening with four hours to go, which means I listened to A LOT, but it was affecting my whole mood, so I gave up. If you like torture and horror with very little payoff, I guess go for it. But if these characters were real, the level of mental, emotional, and physical harm they receive would be unsustainable.
