Good set of thrillers

This box set contains five emerald city thrillers.

Inspired by Murder: An aspiring author wants to write a book about murder but needs to experience it to get the right inspiration.
The Summer Nanny: A short story where a babysitter gets caught up in a jewellery heist and murder, which is also linked to her past.
Viable Hostage: When a college girl goes missing, no-one believes anything strange occurred given her past, except her best friend who uncovers strange things as searches for the truth.
Fatal Deception: A detective recovering from her brother’s murder goes undercover to solve a murder associated with a cult.
Overall, the books were entertaining and well thought out. Some were a bit too short to fully connect with the characters but overall were enjoyable. The narrators were really good and performed with passion and energy.

Enjoyable

Each book flowed into rhe next. The words were vivid. I enjoyed the characterization.

Interesting

I enjoyed listening to these 5 books while painting a house and then a 2 day drive. The twists and turns keep you listening thinking you’ve got it figured out. This set I will enjoy listening to again. I did also like the use of male and female voices to bring the story to life.
