Ugh! The narrator!

Revisado: 05-06-24

The first book in the series by Kevin O’Brien was narrated by the same woman. It ruined a good story. I forgot about her since I listened to that book a while ago and didn’t know it was in a series. When I started this one, and heard the same hyperactive, breathless, high-pitched explosions, I almost turned it off. I made it through, but the end was brutal, when the action and danger increased. Human beings don’t freak out like that for that long!

I disliked all three of these books

Revisado: 03-21-24

I liked Kiersten Modglin’s books up until now. But these three books were lame with weak plots and annoying characters. Maybe that’s why they lumped them together. Thumbs down.

Great story

Revisado: 03-18-24

I’m looking up this author to listen to all of her books. She is excellent. No too much, not underwhelming. I loved the plot structure of going back and forth between the past and present. The pace was great.

Outrageously GREAT!

Revisado: 03-14-24

This story was so clever. So well-written. It kept my interest until the very last paragraphs full of unexpected twists. If you want a good one, written in a great format, get The Heiress!

Katherine Faulkner is SO GOOD at twists and turns!

Revisado: 03-13-24

I really loved this book! I listened to it in one day as I cleaned the house and did yard work. It actually made me more productive because I didn’t want to stop listening! Katherine Faulkner’s balance between what she reveals and what she leaves to the imagination is perfect. Her descriptions are spot on. I highly recommend this book! ( and I’m picky when it comes to mysteries)

Imagine Church’s narration and a story that dragged on earned one star

Revisado: 03-11-24

Finally! It’s over! I usually love British mysteries, but this one had a very slow dragging plot with a lot of dog walking and suspecting everyone. Imagine Church’s pronunciation of words were overly dramatic and so annoying. I do not recommend this book.

Ugh that narrator!

Revisado: 02-04-24

This book drove me nuts. The narrator escalated her voice to near hysterical at certain parts of the story. It was so weird that I couldn’t even focus on what she was sayin.
I kept losing interest because there were too many details about every day activities that were not related to the plot. Example: “ Suddenly there was a knock at the door. She approached the door at a medium gait. She turned the knob and slowly opened the door. There, standing before her, was the pizza delivery man from the local pizza place she had called 30 minutes earlier. She counted out several dollar bills and handed them to the man, and he, in turn, handed her the pizza box. She smiled gently, thanking the pizza delivery man who stood there in his grease-stained shirt and baseball hat. She closed the door and took the pizza to the kitchen as she inhaled deeply, the spices delighting her nostrils…” Get the picture? It annoyed me!!!!
Plus I didn’t really like Sheila.

Twist at the end!

Revisado: 01-08-24

Some of the story was predictable, but it was an entertaining story. When the twist came at the end, I was genuinely surprised. Well done.

Tamara’s reactions are not believable

Revisado: 01-05-24

At first I liked the story and the main character. But she kept reacting to people and situations unrealistically. She would fly off the handle too quickly and use word choices that were not appropriate for the emotion. I had trouble knowing if Tamara loved or hated her husband. It was all over the place. The ending was weak.
