Great listen!

I’m sad this is the last of this series as I would love to hear more of Joan and Verity and what happens next. Well structured mystery, great characters and the narration a joy to listen to.

I enjoyed all of these stories for the most part.

I was a bit annoyed by how many times "I took a deep breath ' was used. it was really distracting.

unfortunate narrator

Whining narrator ruins an already not so great plot. A suitably more feisty - rather than whiny - narrator, would have made this more palatable. How do they choose these readers? Such a pity.
