Rosario's Revenge

(San Juan Islands Mystery Book 4)

Love is complicated but death is permanent... A man is shot dead in the street. A close friend is accused of murder. A Russian crime lord lurks in the shadows. Local reporter Adele Plank knows that in the San Juan Islands things are rarely what they seem and that secrets run as fast and deep as the waters that surround them. She must fight to uncover the truth and stay one step ahead of those who would silence her forever. "A well-crafted series with a beautiful location and a variety of wonderfully interesting characters." -Barbara Jean Lemon

Good story but beware reader change

I really like the series idea, the storyline, and the writing. I very much enjoyed listening to the first book in this series, so I was looking forward to this one. My mistake was not noticing that it was read by AI, unlike the first one I listened to. The AI voice had a pleasant sound but definitely was robotic in its expression. The narrator can make or break the experience of listening to a book. I’ll pay more attention to that with future books.

The first one of the San Juan Island mystery series was well read, with the only minor glitch being the pronunciation of island names. The actual reader was good, but apparently hadn’t listened to anyone from Washington pronounce the local place names. That is a bit jarring to those who live in or know that area.

Rosario’s Revenge

I have enjoyed the San Juan islands series until this one. The AI voice was totally distracting and irritating. The lack of normal inflection and modulation of speech patterns prevented expected involvement with the story line and character’s actions and emotions. A very disappointing experience.

The computer voice made it difficult to focus on the story.

This is a good mystery series with a great setting. Unfortunately the reading machine messed up pronunciation of place names and placed emphasis so badly that even understanding what was said was torturous.
