The narration sounded like a teenager reading a romance novel

Revisado: 09-02-24

Virtual narration needs a LOT of work. The voice is too young and feminine for most of the characters. Sometimes there is little inflection and sometimes too much.
The story is written as though for a high school creative writing class. It is a thinly veiled sloppy romance with a little mystery. Characters are shallow and it ends on a cliff hanger that is obviously set up to require a purchase of the next book. I am not tempted. Glad this was free. I will avoid all virtual narrations in the future.

Disappointed

Revisado: 04-13-23

I really enjoyed all the previous stories about DC Smith. This one was a big disappointment and a slog to read. Something was lost with his retirement and his going out on his own. Rather than the excellent interaction with his colleagues- you get endless self speculation.

Convoluted and hard to follow

Revisado: 01-03-23

This story so ridiculous, convoluted and not worth the time or money. I gave up half way through as I lost interested and sis not care how it ended. The narration is not consistent and one moment Holmes sounds like a 3 pack a day smoker and others has a smoother voice. Made it harder to follow. Sorry I wasted a credit on this.

Fun story, but...

Revisado: 05-16-21

This is a fun cozy and the characters are very likable. The story line about getting used to an new baby while juggling everything else was good. . I would have given it higher marks except that the endless repetition of the entire silly To Do list got old fast. We get that things were constantly changing. The lead character’s internal monologue was very funny. But will not be reading more by this author if a “to do” list continues to play such a major role

Good story - excellent narrator

Revisado: 08-26-17

This story was an attention grabber with a lot of suspense and was hard to put down. By the middle I ended up listening through to the end. I thought I had the "what happened to the twins" question figured out and was surprised at the end. Will look for more by this author and narrator.

An odd book. Could have been boiled down to an article

Revisado: 05-08-16

The chatty and friendly narration style of Bob Sinfield is the only good part of this book and the only reason I continued to the end. The story is more about Colin and his responsibilities and how great he is than the Queen Mother. There is a lot about her, but most of it is such obvious juvenile exaggeration it is sad. I did some research and learned that when cornered by a reporter, Colin admitted to exaggerating some of the facts. No kidding! The editors must have taken the day off when this was published. There is so much repetition that it was a bit of a slog getting through it. I thought the parts about Andrew to be especially sad. It may be true, but if so, he does not come across as nice. I hope it is another big exaggeration.
