In the Beginning

I really enjoy this series so it was fun to go back and read this first of the stories (at least I think it is the first) after having seen the soap opera part of the story play out. Not a complicated story, but with some good characters and plot twists. Generally good background for what is to follow.

I liked it.

If you could sum up A Share in Death in three words, what would they be?

Easy listen, enjoyable.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

No but it was a decent story.

What about Michael Deehy’s performance did you like?

Very good. Will look for Michael Deehy again.

Enjoyed

I’ll be picking up the next one, as this type of mystery is relaxing and interesting. Narration was well done. I only wish we’d had another last scene with the bullying local superintendent.

I've read the books! Now I listen!

The narrator is ok, but it took me time to adjust my imagination. When I read the books I 'heard/imagined the voices in my head. But about half way through the story, all was fine! LOL! We are funny, aren't we?! But I loved the reading and now I really enjoy the listening! What fun!

enjoyable all the way

I enjoyed this book. The characters were real and believable .. people I'd enjoy and like to call friends.
