Deaths Silent Judgement

I love this author and really liked the story, but I didn’t care for the political (woke agenda as it would be known as) interjections. I’d prefer reading (listening) to stories free from social agendas.

Better for the narration

The narrator saves this one. I didn't get as deeply into the story as I did her first in the series. Sideline: I was amused by the little editing gaffes when the narrator repeated a sentence that she hadn't spoken in the way she wanted to... shines a light on the narration process.

Sloppy editing

Good story; overall good performance. MANY editing errors where lines are repeated, read with different intonations. The editors likely rushed through and did not delete the marked passages. Anyway, still a good story although I wouldn’t have been pleased if it hadn’t been a free selection. Quality control matters!

such a soothing voice

loved the 2nd book as much as the 1st. Hannah is a crafty and smart woman.

Well written

This is the second and probably last book I read from this series . The story is well developed but, again, like in the other book, way too often the main character is either on the verge of throwing up or is actually doing that which becomes a bit ridiculous.

worst heroine ever

Hannah whines, faints, and pukes at the least provocation. She is a perpetual victim, at her job, in her relationship, etc, etc. We are supposed to believe that this vapid, self-absorbed woman is a mystery solving, brilliant reporter/writer. Everything falls into her lap, and she still can't get it together.

The narrator has a beautiful speaking voice, but doesn't vary with characters, and puts a strange, song-song inflection on "HanNAH" whenever someone addresses the character. In her defense, no amount of skill or talent from the narrator could save this book.

Why bad reviews

I can understand why people have them because of narrator she was fine until she had to do character voices. I especially noticed it at around Ch 8/9?
Up until then I wasn’t sure why they thought it was so bad, until I was. It was pretty bad. The guys voice sounded like it should have been the main characters voice to which he was talking. And the inflection’s whoa…even worse.
So why does the story get the highest stars? Because it could have been good even with the narrator if only she had read the book and tried not to be an actress—only a reader.
The story is one that has a purpose that’s worthy and I hope even despite this narration will either “read” it or listen her forewarned.

Powerful Action and storyline

I've enjoyed the first 2 books by this Author. She lead you on one a hell of a ride.
I hope she writes more books. For these first 2 books become a series

Something To Do

Jumps everywhere. Makes listening difficult. Didn't help that the narrator has a tendency to place unnecessary accent from time to time.

Death

lots of murder. be careful who your friend are. don't trust anybody. that's what they say.
