Quick and Compact

I love this author. The story pulled you in quickly and had you guessing what was going to be the twist. A good one indeed.

Short & Sweet

I loved this book. Nice twists and turns. I’ve followed this author for years, and she has never let me down.

Seems incomplete

What made the experience of listening to The Setup the most enjoyable?

The narration and concept was nice, I was getting wrapped in, then... nothing....

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

I would have completed it... I mean the story was developing but was suddenly over. And, all that was left were questions. I understand that this is a short story but I've heard jokes that have better character development and an ending better than this...

A Police Shooting Amongst Racial Unrest

This story moves rapidly into the account of a defense attorney who covets the publicity the high profile murder case could bring him when he takes on the defense of a cop with a questionable past.

Drugs and a dirty cop along with racial tension set the tone of this story. It left me wanting to hear the story developed into a full unabridged novel because the plot was captivating and suspenseful. I would not normally bother with short stories, but Pamela Samuels Young stories are very interesting and hold my attention so well that I ordered the three shorts available on audible.

R.C Bray is one of my favorite narrators. He is a fantastic narrator of these novels.

Great!

A fun and well written short story with a great twist, I definitely didn't see it coming. Very impressive. Listen to this narration, it's good.
