Just Needs Killin'

Hetta Coffey Series, Book 6

By: Jinx Schwartz

Narrated by: Stevie Puckett

Hetta Coffey is a sassy Texan with a snazzy yacht and she's not afraid to use it!

After several months of cruising Mexico's hauntingly beautiful Sea of Cortez, Hetta's in Puerto Escondido, a place once described by author John Steinbeck as "a magic harbor". Anchored out, swaying on the hook at the whim of breeze and tide, surrounded by magnificent views and turquoise water can be magical. Stuck at anchor alone? Not so much.

So when her best friend, Jan, gets them an invite to a party at a nearby luxury resort hosted by a Japanese businessman - all expenses paid - Hetta figures, why not? Why turn down an evening of free food and booze? And besides, what could possibly go wrong?

With Hetta involved? Plenty.

Not only are she and Jan soon up to their necks in hot sake, a succession of unsavory intruders sends Hetta scurrying for a safe harbor, but not before she reaches the conclusion that some folks just need killin'.

Could have been better with a different narrator

Would you try another book from Jinx Schwartz and/or Stevie Puckett?

I probably would try another book by Jinx Schwartz if it was narrated by someone else.

Would you be willing to try another book from Jinx Schwartz? Why or why not?

This book was difficult to get into and to get all the way through. The narration was very distracting to the story. She was trying to hard to be upbeat and some of her voices were annoying and just wrong.

Would you be willing to try another one of Stevie Puckett’s performances?

No, I don't think so.

Any additional comments?

I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.

a strange mystery, worth the read

Any additional comments?

Just Needs Killin' (Hetta Coffey Mystery, #6) by Jinx Schwartz is an audio book I requested and the review is voluntary. This is a strange mystery, atleast different from mysteries I am use to. The two girls of the story break laws, or try to break laws, and don't seem to think anything about it. They somehow get mixed up in the Japanese mafia, find a dead body but don't turn the murder in. Plan a murder, steal precious items, and they don't seem to care too much. (Maybe the friend, not the main gal, Hetta.) Strange story. There is lots of humor, action, adventure, and traveling. The narrator is perfect for this story.

Jan needs killing

Jan with her voice really got on my nerves but I listened to the end. Hetta and po thing make the story worth listening to. With all the characters from Japan to Mexico I don't know how anyone could keep up. Po-thing awesome diving dog. Not a suspense novel but defiantly comedy.
I received this free for an honest review from the author or narrator.

Hate narrator changes

The story was very good as usual but the new narrator is horrible. The voice for Jan was over the top annoying I felt like it was being read by a 12 year old. There were places where she would start speaking much slower then go back to normal. . I'll finish the series but I will be reading the rest of them.

Love the book series but not the narrator!

I'm a big fan of Jinx Shwartz's Hetta Coffey series but not the narrator for this particular book, Stevie Puckett. She sounds like a bored tour guide.
