Nice job

I like that it is not ruined with sex and romanticstuff but a good crime storyline

Solid cop thriller

I enjoyed having a vulnerable but strong female protagonist, there aren't enough of those in this genre. It is a well-written story with fun twists and turns. The narrator could have put a little more energy into the general narration, and there are multiple mispronunciations of words. But overall she was easy to listen to, and did a good job. I'm looking forward to listening to the next book in the series

Very poor editing

The chapters would start out very loud & could hardly be heard by the end if the chapter. Then the next chapter would start & blow out your ears. The story was good but I almost gave up on the book because of the volume issue.

Kept Me Interested

Would you listen to Snake Skin again? Why?

Not likely because I rarely ever listen to a book again. Only Vince Flynn's Mitch Rapp series have I done that.

What did you like best about this story?

That Lucy screwed up and made bad choices like the rest of us but was still a great heroine.

Have you listened to any of Lauren Roth’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have no idea if I've heard her before but I liked her narration

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Somewhat. It kept me interested. The personal versus professional obligations made an interesting addition to the mystery and adventure.

New author for mek

I used ti be an avid reader but then got sick. Its harder for me to concentrate due to my meds as they make me sleepy. This is only the 2nd book I have read in about 7 months where as before it was about a book every 2 weeks. Having said that this book held my interest. Between dr visits and falling asleep it was intetesting enough for me to carry around my tablet to listen to it. The protaganist is a women who doesn't always follow protocols and seems to wear her heart on her sleeve. The author brought in enough of the family to make it interesting but didn't ram them down my throat. I think it was a pretty decent book 1 and I wil be interested in continuing on with the series.
