Deadly Director's Cut

De: Vicki Delany

Narrado por: Jennifer Van Dyck

Famous director Elias Theropodous has chosen Haggerman’s Catskills Resort as a shooting location for his next film. It sounds glamorous to much of the staff, but resort manager Elizabeth Grady is less satisfied. Dealing with the ridiculous demands of the antagonistic director is bad enough, and his attempts to walk all over Elizabeth are making her feel like her position at the resort has been changed into a bit part.

But when Elias is poisoned during a dinner at the resort, the future of the film and the resort itself are on the line. Between an aging movie star, a harried producer, and former victims of the deceased director’s wrath, Elizabeth has a full cast of suspects to examine, and she’ll need to investigate every lead to catch a killer.

Narrator isn’t quite right

The narrator is not quite right for this material. The lead character, Elizabeth, sounds much older than she is. Several female characters are performed as having deep voices, which made it difficult at times to distinguish between them and male characters. The story was just okay. About 2/3 of the way in story elements started to feel repetitive and a little tedious; this was something I noticed in the first book, but it wasn’t quite as draggy as this one. If there’s a third book released as an audiobook, I might give it a chance if they switch up the narrator.
