A well-written short read from a very good author

Rx Murder (Audiobook), my sixth read/listen from author Richard L. Mabry, entertaining & enjoyable. “I received a free Audible copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review." The gifting of this book did not affect my opinion of it. Meghan Kelly's narration made the book flow smoothly & quickly. I look forward to reading more from this author. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).

Average

Would you try another book from Richard Mabry and/or Meghan Kelly?

I think both author and narrator are good enough that I ran across another book by them I would not hesitate to read/listen to it but I'm not sure if I'd go so far as to seek them out.

What could Richard Mabry have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Done a little more research (actually, any research) about attorney ethics.

What three words best describe Meghan Kelly’s performance?

There is a lot good to say about Meghan's Kelly performance - great mastery of differentiating voices, great delivery of dialogue ...but...in the narration sections she was occasionally quick or staccato in her delivery.

Could you see Rx Murder being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

Not enough book/story to become a movie but it was fine for a short book.

Any additional comments?

2 things seriously detracted from my enjoyment of this book:1. The lawyer in the book committed so many ethical violations he made my head hurt. Especially, when one sentence started "I don't know if I can do this ethically..." and the answer is an easy and resounding "No, you can't" - no mystery about that one, even for the new graduate he is supposed to be.2. Audio quality was off - there was a general difference in volume between the dialogue and the narration that I noticed. Worse than that, there were several times (half a dozen? maybe less? especially in the 2nd half of the book) when the volume got very low for a line or two. That was annoying.This audiobook was given to me in exchange for an honest review.

Quick listen but worth it

Any additional comments?

I'm not sure how the author was able to pack a complex mystery into a short novel but that he did. It was a whodunnit from the beginning with an interesting story line and enough characters (and potential culprits) to keep you guessing. I didn't see the ending (love it when that happens) but I would have liked a bit more build up to the reveal. Still, an overall good story with very good narration.

RX Murder

This was a very intriguing murder/mystery. You feel such compassion for the wife, and wonder why anyone even cares why the abusive husband died. And the end really has you wondering. Really fun short story.
