Déjà Dead

An American in Paris Mystery, Book 1

By: Susan Kiernan-Lewis

Narrated by: Susan Kiernan-Lewis

Things can get pretty dark in the City of Light.

Claire Baskerville is a 60-something American who finds herself alone in Paris when her husband is brutally murdered. Reeling from the onslaught of devastating secrets he left behind Claire is stunned to realize she no longer knows who to trust.

She only knows she can’t move forward until she finds out the truth behind who killed her husband.

In spite of a genetic brain anomaly that makes it impossible for her to remember faces - even ones she’d seen just moments before, and all alone in a foreign city, Claire doggedly collects the clues that will lead her to her husband’s killer.

Unfortunately, the closer she gets to the truth, the more determined that killer is to make sure she never leaves Paris alive.

This audiobook is a clean listen: no graphic violence, sex, or strong language.

Enjoyable story, but poor editing

I enjoyed the story and it was well read, but there are many editing issues (lines repeated several times before the story continues) which were a little distracting. But only a little.

Read by a robot perhaps?

The story itself is good. But the narration was robotic. I rarely leave negative reviews, but this is a book I’d rather read on my own rather than listening to.

Love the twists

I really enjoyed the story, the build up was interesting and moved well, but the performance left a lot to be desired. It seemed as if this audio was not edited well.

Mixed review

Great story, but needs a professional reader. Sorry, Susan, you’re a good writer, but. . .please don’t narrate.

Twists and Surprising Turns

To say I couldn't stop listening to the Audible is an understatement. I spent a whole day reaching for my phone to continue playing this unpredictable story. it was TERRIFIC! And talk about emotional. the entire plot is believable, after you reach the conclusion.
