Spunky heroine

Revisado: 03-28-25

Jane is an independent-minded woman in an age where women were encouraged - expected - to be dependent. The plot is intriguing and the characters are developing nicely from book one…
BUT the narrator is awful! Her speech habits are so annoying. At the end of almost EVERY sentence, she drops her voice. I’m not sure I want to use my credits on this series because of the narrator, but I definitely would continue with a different narrator or a non-audio book.

Slow story with foul language

Revisado: 01-24-25

If the swear words were removed from this book, it would be a good bit shorter. I don’t know if the author is trying to convey what a loser the father is by having him swear so much, but it’s overdone and irritating.
I don’t often give up partway through a story, but this wasn’t worth the time.

Could have been cut down without losing any interest

Revisado: 11-28-24

The story was intriguing and the characters well developed. But…
This was soooo long! It was plagued by a lot of unnecessary details that weren’t even close to being critical to the story. At 10.5 hours, it could easily be made shorter without compromising the story.
I also had trouble keeping track of all the characters. In a traditional book, I could have paged back to find when the characters were introduced.
I’ll probably watch for the next in the series, but maybe I’ll keep a notepad handy to write characters’ names down.

Fortune’s determination to prove murder against all odds.

Revisado: 06-10-24

I thought the rescue of Carter was a condensed version, but maybe more detail would have been too gory.
All in all, another great Sinful story with the usual Celia and Gertie escapades plus new excitement. Can’t wait for the next one to come out!

Tedious

Revisado: 03-18-24

If this is what the “Golden Age” of mysteries was like, I’m surprised anyone kept reading or writing them. I’m glad I only spent one credit for six books instead of one each.

How soon will we get the next one?

Revisado: 10-01-23

What a cliffhanger ending after another thrilling Fortune Redding adventure! I can’t wait for the next story in the series. Excellent writing and excellent narration, as usual.

Good story, annoying narrator

Revisado: 09-20-23

This narrator makes almost all the characters sound like they’re 10 years old or have been huffing helium- or maybe both.
The story is decent, though, with a good story line and interesting characters, so I’ll continue with the series.

Always enjoy Mrs. Pollifax and Barbara Rosenblat

Revisado: 08-28-23

I first read the Mrs. Pollifax books back in the 1970-80s when the Cold War wasn’t such a distant memory. Now that I’m closer in age to Mrs. P, I’m getting new pleasure from reading about her pluckiness and finding a second calling in her old age.
Barbara Rosenblat is my favorite narrator and brings wonderful life to all her characters. Five stars to both these ladies!

Better than the first one

Revisado: 02-03-23

The first one drove me nuts about their inept handling of a new business. They constantly complained about lack of money, but frequently went shopping and eat out. They complained about having not enough time to get ready, but they somehow already had bookings without a website or brochures. When they did pick up their brochures they had pictures taken before they did renovating. It didn’t make any sense at all.
This one isn’t as inconsistent and the characters are developing well. The murderer got to be obvious, since everyone else had been blamed and exonerated.
The author is leaving lots of room for relationships between characters and future plot lines

Wasn’t expecting soft porn

Revisado: 08-12-22

I love Jana Deleon’s Miss Fortune series and expected to enjoy this as much. What I wasn’t expecting was explicit sex scenes. The story could have been told just as well without them.
This book would have earned four stars if it hadn’t been for that. The story (sans sex) was good, exciting and full of Deleon’s quirky characters.
