Didn’t hate it

The reader did nothing for me, she spoke slowly, as if she were reading to a class of 3rd graders. Perhaps the story is better than what I heard. I can’t say I hated it, but I just didn’t LIKE it, I will not be listening to any more of Lucinda Gainey’s performances.

Disappointed

This third book in the series was really disappointing. I saw hints of Feminism in the other books in the series. This one however was really pushing it.

Once again a Fabulous murder mystery

OMG, Nancy has out done herself again. Every time I thought I knew what was going to happen next, there was a plot twist and turn. I could not stop listening and dedicated a lot of my evening time listening.

I absolutely love how she ties the characters in this book to the characters in her first book. I think we are going to see more books and I can’t wait. If you have not read her 7 year Arkana series, you are missing out! Happy reading.
