The intricacies of the story

The characters were very relatable with depth and character.
The narrator made the book visually appealing and vivid to my mind.

Good read.

I LOVE Blanche she’s hilarious and I appreciate the underlying of issues plaguing our community.

Just Love Blanche

Blanche is such an amazing person to look up to. I completely connect with this character. Please write more similar novels 🥹

Cozy, but Realistic!

Really enjoyed listening to this cozy, but realistic story. It had everything; drama, humor, current affairs and questions of the heart. Thanks for an enjoyable read.

I Wish There Were Ten

I love Blanche even if she’s a bit nosy! Could read more than four if they existed. Kudos to the late Barbara Neely. Good narration too

Blanche gets around

This story has so many twists and turns. I like the urban setting and situations of the characters. I like the community involvement and engagement. The drama takes a hard and uncomfortable turn so be ready for a “ripped from the headlines” event. I wonder what Blanche’s next adventure will be. Makes me anxious to think about it!

Excellent! A joy to listen to.

The Blanche books are completely captivating and the reading is expressive and engrossing. I listen over and over!

Thug Clergy

I love the beautiful storytelling. Blanche is the right kind of nosey. She stays in the business that pays her and she always receives a handsome reward.

What a fun listen

For a crime novel, it certainly subverts the crime genre in many ways, especially hard boiled detective fiction. A must read

Wonderful story and narration

This book is another Barbara Neely’s best! Truth be told and included humor. I hope she writes more! Thank you Audible for including these fine stories!
