I didn't know.

This one covered an issue I was unaware of. Heard a news story since. Hope this isn't the end of Sharon McCone mysteries.

I have read every Sharon McCone Mystery

I enjoyed the story in this. Focusing on native women in a little-known CA county was interesting. But I am over Marcia Muller's politics. I don't believe a hard-hitting PI with a husband in shady ops would really go on and on about gun control. I just want a good mystery.

the smooth flow

its been a while since my last reading, several years, and its wonderful that i can catch up with my favorite author via audible. im so happy for this reunion! intriguing story very well told and read. thank you all.

Disappointed

The story itself was just okay. Character development was nearly non-existent and superficial; enjoyment of the characters was dependent on having read previous books by MM. Lucky for me I have. My biggest disappointment was the reader of the book. Everything about her intonations as well as the “age” of her voice seemed totally wrong. It took a lot of constraint to not just quit listening.

Left Me Cold

I have been a longtime fan of the author and have read or listened to all the books in the Sharon McCone series. For the first time I've left a book in the series unfinished, and I'm not questioning the act. As the headline indicates this book left me cold and the few chapters I made it through were due to duty and loyalty to an author I'd greatly appreciated. The subject was one I'd been aware of and looked forward to a book that addressed them, unfortunately it wasn't this book. The whole thing had all the emotion of a book report; I didn't connect with any of the characters including the MC. I don't know how many more books there will be in the series, and if there are more, if I'll choose to purchase any of them.
