Background noise

The plot and characters are well done. But in the last two books the choice of narrator nearly led to not finishing the series. At one point there were the sounds of dogs, dishes, mouth sounds.

I did enjoy the story very much.

Narrator is bad

Series started with Karen Peaks and the change to the new narrator is awful, her diction is annoying. Get Karen Peaks back please.

Not my favorite, but still a good installment

I think this was my least favorite of the series, it's still a good book with a good story, but just something about this one made it feel super long and dragged out.

The narration was a little better than the previous one, same narrator as before. Could still hear mouth sounds and still could hear back ground noises, albeit not as much as the previous book, so there was some improvement.

Overall, still a good listen but not as good as the previous books. I hope (if there is a next one) will be better.

loved the book

Loved the book but wish Karen Peakes was still the narrator. This narrator had some background noises that were mildly distracting while listening to the story. I thoroughly enjoyed the story however and would love for more books about Maggie to be written.

Needs a new narrator

The story was ok. Long and drawn out from the beginning. The narrator made it worse. Very monotone and dry reading.
