Bo

This is a great book about a spunky private investigator, that life throws several curve balls to, and how she manages to keep her humanity in the end.

The struggle between being good and bad

Excellent listen! I absolutely love all the characters! I hope there will be more Bo books to come!

kept me hooked from start to finish

Good storytelling, excellent world building. The voice of the performer is perfect for the narrator/heroine of the story. I didn't want to put this down, through the entire series. GREAT deal, in terms of entertainment hour per credit.

One thing I particularly appreciated about this complete-series edition:

The producers took the effort to label the chapters and the start & end of each book, making it much easier to track my place or navigate back to something I remember (for example, if the book keeps inadvertently playing after I've drowned off using the sleep timer, or when my earbud is in my pocket).

I've listened to several box sets/series over the last few months, and most of the time, the "chapters" in the Audible production are just numbered sequentially. It's pretty hard to guess my place when I'm in, say, Chapter 256 or so.

Takes some time but Bo Blackman really grows on you

I liked the characters, they're human, fallible but endearing despite their dark moments. The story is captivating and I'm sad it ended after spending so many hours together.
I particularly enjoyed the Englishness of the characters

How well the author kept to a good story line with the characters

Enjoyed the overall storyline and Bo had a decent back and forth with the good and bad fight that a lot of us find we have.
