Orchids and Stone

By: Lisa Preston

Narrated by: Cris Dukehart

They're trying to take me. Help! Help me, please.

Daphne Mayfield sought a moment of quiet in a park - a break from city life, a tense relationship, and chronic overwork - but then an elderly woman makes a desperate plea. Daphne is reluctant to get involved when she's not sure what's happening, but she wants to help the stranger. Is the rambling old lady the victim of a crime or a victim of dementia?

As her unease grows, Daphne can't let go of the encounter. No matter what her boyfriend or her friends say. No matter what the retired homicide detective warns. Though she knows she's meddling in other people's lives, her instincts scream that the danger is real.

With each increasingly bold intervention, Daphne involves herself in someone else's crisis until she's in too deep to turn back. She's not just fighting for a stranger's life...she's fighting for her own.

Good!

Overall good listen.
went into detail too much in one area & not enough in another.
really enjoyed the narrator.

my new favorite author

well rounded story, likable characters. couldn't put it down. I liked the narrators use of voices, it really worked with the story

not bad

A mystery that makes you think about the way you interact with those around you. The story is a unique concept, but the main character's actions are often cringe worthy. I often found myself wanting to scream at her stupidity.

A little short on story.

Story didn't flow well enough. lSeems too unfinished. would have liked to have heard more of solving her sister's murder.

What next?

Wish I had taken time to listen sooner. An interesting story with social consciousness and blessings of grace
