Glad I only spent $3

I was curious as to what this story I’ve already read through several times would be like with audio, and I’m thoroughly disappointed with the narrator. The combination of the editing and inflection sounds like Siri reading British news. It gets *slightly* better as it goes on, but I doubt I’ll listen again.

Who done it?

This was the first time i listened to this author. The story line was good. This book had a lot of little twist and turns, And secrets, I look forward t more in this series

Good story

I loved the story and the characters. The narration was nicely done. I highly recommend it.

Could not have been read faster

The narrator read this book so fast that it was stripped of much of the potential enjoyment. The story was a little disjointed and "first-book-y" but in general that's not something I mind. But the speed it was read at undermined the whole experience. One small thing: the love interest didn't make sense: the detective went from rudely calling our protagonist the wrong name to being Mr. Right pretty quickly.

nice cozy. narrator needs improvement.

the story is a nice cozy. the narrator can improve. more intonation is needed, reading too flat. Barker's male voice is horrible. otherwise ok.
