Overall Disappointment

Revisado: 09-15-24

I’ve been a lover of J. A. Janice since the first J. P. Beaumont novel. Over the last several years all of her beloved series have become less than exciting, predictable, and the plots and dialog simplistic. I cannot listen to the others any longer but I’ve loved these until the last few. I’ve lived in Bellingham and spent 20 years in the Pacific Northwest, mispronouncing areas, Whatcom/Skagit is just cringeworthy. It’s great to see how these characters have evolved but the plot’s conclusion is absolutely ridiculous. It pains me to write this, but I’m done.

This is awful

Love the Deadwood series, I couldn’t get through 30 minutes of this book, maybe my error but I really expected more from this. Sorry, not the most informative review.

Simply disappointing

Revisado: 10-14-21

I was delighted to see a new story and there were a few snippets of the beloved character dialog but this one was not great. Due to shortness of the story, the manufactured, overly dramatic performance was too much. I’d suggest waiting for a sale, it’s not worth the current cost and in no way worth a credit.

Could not get past the first hour

Revisado: 12-01-20

This was perhaps one of the worst stories I've attempted to listen to. Not a particularly helpful review, but I loathe being cruel. If you are interested in the plot, it would be best as a public library loan.

I just couldn't let this finish

Revisado: 12-01-20

My apologies; I don't like to be critical and recognize it takes a great deal of effort to write and publish a book. But I could not get through more than a third of this story. I liked the plot's idea, but this was way too slow, overly detailed, and for me, the narration did not seem to fit within the storyline type. I will give book two a try if one becomes available but could not listen any longer, rare for me.

Story lacked cohesion

Revisado: 06-02-20

Although I didn’t care for the first book, I thought with the second book it might get better. Most of the characters are likable and there were a few bits of humor but overall the storyline needs editing and many assumptions were made. It just wasn’t for me.

Wanted to like this

Revisado: 06-02-20

I really wanted to like this but felt I was suffering through the (himself) verbiage. There are the bones of a good story here but it needs work.
