Cybil Lewis Mysteries, Book 2

By: Nicole Givens Kurtz

Narrated by: Darla Middlebrook

"Magnificent mansions with dysfunctional diplomats, ruined rock stars and failing families hid their shortcomings behind these structures of supposed strength. Such is life in the District." (Cybil Lewis)

Cybil Lewis and her inspector-in-training, Jane, are back on the case. Hired to find the missing son of a prominent woman, Cybil is pulled into the District's sordid political arena of a governor's family with dark and dangerous secrets, and the determination to keep them hidden.

Cybil will soon learn that anyone can be a little cozen.

Good

A blend of science fiction, noir and mystery. Different type of adventure and with a dark futheristic world. Interesting and narration was good. Given audio for my voluntary review and my honest opinion

cozened

Cybil is an acquired taste, but her work speaks for itself. Not much has changed in the future here. People are still greedy, cheating, and committing crimes. The villain was dumb, but tried to cover a wide range of family victims in his capers. Good ending. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a good job.

Excellent

This listen peaked my interest in this genre it was mind boggling narration supreme I can't wait to listen to another book by this author please check it out you won't be disappointed

Maybe it's just me

It seems to be a great story but, the narration killed it for me. Had this been like other audiobooks where the characters are role played it would've worked well. However, this one narrator doing all the characters made it a long listen. It was a free listen on the condition that I make a review. I do look forward to more from this author. More technology in the future but mankind is very much the same.

An awesome detective story!!!

I really enjoyed the author's world building. It sets the story apart from similarly premised work. Detective Lewis is hard-boiled but not misanthropic. The characters are colorful and well crafted.
A great listen.
