Lacks depth

Revisado: 11-23-24

The author seems to pull from recognizable current stories and movies, but lacks the continuity to pull it all together. it's almost as if her imagination is not up to the task of creating her own scenarios. The premise is compelling and could be a good read if she put more thought into her characters and gave them more depth. The narrator lacks the ability to create recognizable differences in the characters and specifically misses the opportunity to incorporate a Scottish brogue for the ghost character.

Could be a good series

Revisado: 10-30-24

I expected this to be a very well thought out fantasy fiction mystery series. i think it has the potential to be a good series, if the author would fully think out the characters and the background stories. she seems to throw in beings and plots without any basis or history for them, and it seems more like a patchwork quilt than a new community of beings. the story bounces around and lacks cohesiveness. The performance is lackluster as well, inasmuch as the reader misses on some keys in the story. For example, one main character should be read with an accent based on the words written for them. and isn't, i think the biggest character flaw in the story is that the main character is a mid twenty's woman with a law degree and real life experiences. However, many of the situations she was written into are more for a teenager who has not yet experienced life.

Wonderfully escapist

Revisado: 09-25-24

I love the inclusion of the "dream segments" which add another layer to the narrative. i appreciate the chapter heading quotes. However, the number of chapters is too numerous and, with these quotes, detracts from the enjoyment of the audio version of the book.

Wonderfully entertaining

Revisado: 09-13-24

I love the relationships the author has built into the storyline. There are so many varied personalities and that, along with the storylines provided by the ghost, make it a very entertaining read.

Inclusion of nonfiction distracting

Revisado: 08-30-24

Although I appreciated the story as a whole and was engaged in the detective story portion of it, I found the inclusion of the non fiction segments distracting. I feel it focused too much on the author's life to the detriment of the character development.

An engaging plotline

Revisado: 08-12-24

I love the backdrop of the Paris world fair. I found the story engaging and entertaining. The only detractor for me was the narrator's inhalation of breath after every sentence. I found it fairly distracting, otherwise overall, very well done.

Very intricate plot

Revisado: 07-21-24

I love this story but the reading of it left me flat. I especially felt like the voice of Charlotte was extremely robotic and hard to listen to.

Light escapist listening

I love this series. It has just the right amount of everything to take me away for a pleasant few hours.

Comfortable Read

Revisado: 12-03-23

I love the simplicity of the story and the continuity from book to book of the character development.. I do believe, however, that it is unnecessary to continually reiterate the team's quest for Justice.
There could be more plot development, instead. I'm looking forward to the next installment.

Read like a documentary

Revisado: 11-22-23

The story was OK. However, the narrator Read it, like it was a documentary and the story did not capture my attention because of this.
