"A good series - I recommend."
I've listened to the first two books in this series, and I'll continue with the next. Sometimes it's a bit gruesome, but that's murder. Even after only two books, I've gotten attached to the characters, especially Ann's best friend Franny. He's a hoot!
Give the first book a try - "Deeper than the Dead" - and maybe you'll be hooked on the series like me!
"What more can I say?"
I absolutely LOVE this series!! I've listened to them all, and I'm devastated that there aren't any more. So thoroughly enjoyable and funny. Start with the first and enjoy your way through the rest. You won't be sorry.
"Coffee anyone?"
Another series that fills in the time while driving or doing boring stuff at work. Really very enjoyable and entertaining, but not great literature. I rate a listen a 4 if I intend on listening to more in the series. It will never make a 5 though.
"First in the series."
This is good enough that I've got the rest of the series in my Wishlist. I love a good literary read, but when at work or driving this is the kind of listen that suits me best. It doesn't take too much concentration but fills my otherwise boring time with enjoyment.
"Will there be more??!!"
I hope this isn't the last of the series. Although Death seems to be to-ing and fro-ing with Casey, I don't want Death to go away!
This isn't great literature, but it is a thoroughly enjoyable read and something out of the ordinary.
"Predictable"
A pretty good story, but oh so predictable. Lots of praying to God, some "miracles". Read if you don't want a surprise ending. But still enjoyable.
"Old ladies as hired killers?!"
I really enjoyed this book and the premise is original. However, in my opinion, they went a little overboard with the lesbian theme. That said, I would read a sequel, if there is one, because the story is entertaining.
"Another Kate Morton gem!"
Once again, Kate Morton comes up with a treasure. She weaves the story from war time past to present, with all the intricate layers of love, loss, betrayal, passion, and leaves the listener wanting more. A sensitive portrayal of how people lived their lives even while a war was going on around them. There was an unexpected (as least to me) twist toward the end that surprised me by making the story even better.
Definitely worth a read or a listen! Kate Morton is an amazing author, and Caroline Lee did a lovely performance.
"A new series to add to my library!"
ENTERTAINING! Thoroughly enjoyed this book and the narrator was great! Nothing much new in the way of murder mysteries; but the tone, writing, and narration made it it's own.
Can't wait to listen to book 2 - Mad House, and then the rest!
"Just couldn't get into this book."
I tried twice to listen to this book but without success. I think maybe it's more of a man's book.
"Seemed to go on forever."
To me, this book had a lot of unnecessary tangents. If I had been reading this book instead of listening to it, I would have skim-read several parts just to get back to the story.
I read another review that said this was the first in the series, and subsequent books are better. I'll probably give Harry Hole another chance.
The narrator was good sometimes but almost put me to sleep other times.
