Murder Under Redwood Moon

By: Sherri L. Dodd

Narrated by: MPA

At the age of eight, Arista Kelly was frantically swept up by her parents and whisked off to an isolated town in the California redwoods. Two days later, her parents were gone.

Now at the age of twenty-three, she has settled quite nicely into an eclectic lifestyle, much like her great aunt, and guardian since childhood, Bethie. She enjoys the use of herbs and crystals to help her commune with the energy and nature around her and finds pleasure in the company of her beloved pet, Royal. Usually quite satisfied with her mundane life high in the Santa Cruz Mountains, life becomes unsettling when a new recurring vision of an ominous tattoo as well as increased activity from the ghostly presence within her own cottage invade her once-harmonious existence.

But life in this mountain sanctuary takes an even darker turn when the body of Arista's former classmate is found in the nearby river. As other young women fall prey to a suspected serial killer, Arista realizes that the terror is coming to her.

Liked the story line

The story line was good however the reader was difficult to follow at times as the reading stuttered and stopped in places.

Must re-record chapter 42!

Narrator probably needed to take a break, practice the chapter first or, if she had any questions for the writer, ask them. Otherwise, a really enjoyable listen!

Poor job editing the reading. Especially around an hour before the ending.

The book could have been a short story. Just didn’t enjoy it. I couldn’t wait for it to end.
