3.5 stars OK Series

Mostly enjoyable mystery series. All three, including the novella prequel, have well developed plots, interesting characters, and satisfying conclusions. Mac MacRyan is a smart, young detective that uses his mind more than his braun to solve mysteries. The interplay among him and the three detectives on his team is light yet serious when necessary. The stories have the required supportive boss with the supportive political hierarchy above him. The plots are involved but not so complex as to confuse the reader.

I'm going for the next in the series.

The issue I found distracting was the great deal of descriptive explanation or background interspersed by often repetitive narrative.It made me feel that the story was being told to me rather than the characters playing their part of the story.

Johnny Peppers was very good with the delivery of the story

Entertaining Stories, Not so entertaining Narrator

If only the narrator was as talented as the author! I would love to read the series on my own or hear it performed by The CJ Washburn Series narrator!

Fair

Good plot and story but dialogue is very weak. Characters very one-dimensional. Narrator is decent. Great detail on Minnesota.

excellent listen

after listening to all 3 books, I'm hooked on these stories. despite then having a police procedural story frame, I still find myself not getting knowing " who done it" until the part where Mac figures it out. Even then the story is engaging enough that I still want to hear how they got to the perp. check it out if you like crime books
