Soon, she discovers that the painting is full of clues about five different crimes that will be committed somewhere in Rome by the end of the day.

Text for this series is available

You can find the text for this audiobook on Amazon Kindle or Barnes and Noble‘s Nook. You can also find this story in other languages, like Spanish, French, German, English, etc. For each language, the story varies the names of the characters, places, and a few cultural details to be more authentic. I really like this series, and recommend it 100%. It is a lot of fun to read the story in different languages.

Nothing good to be said for this

The language used is extremely basic, the storyline is so elementary as to be uninteresting, and the voices are really problematic. Other books in the Olly Richards series are good, but this one is a dud.

NOT WHAT EXPECTED

The stories are read in Italian, and are familiar words used in context which is great. Would have given 5 stars if that's all that was expected.

There is no pdf attached with purchase that gives the dialogue, no way to read the word list, as stated in description. If you want to just listen to the chapters, then this audiobook works.

If you want to read along with the story and use reference material, this audiobook will not work for you.
