Who, What, Where, When, Die

An Avery Shaw Mystery, Book 1

De: Amanda M. Lee

Narrado por: Angel Clark

Avery Shaw is having a bad week. First, she had to cover a story on a barricaded gunman who likes to dance naked in his window. Second, she's receiving death threats with her morning newspaper. Lastly, and most importantly, her mom keeps vetoing her outfit choices. It's all in a day's work for this hardworking, if easily distracted, reporter. Avery Shaw is hot on the trail of the story, even if it means tangling with her hot ex-boyfriend - the county sheriff - and the equally hot, if slightly shadier pawnshop owner down the street. Getting the story is going to be totally worth it - that is if Avery can survive the week.

Quirky but loads of fun!

Love Amanda M. Lee's sense of humor!
Not crazy about the narrator. Too perfect. I will be following this series. Avery Shaw gets into trouble without trying. Works well since she is a reporter.

Nerd with an attitude.

I enjoyed listening to this book. There was a focus on the day to day life of the main character more than the mystery / drama of the story. Otherwise, I liked Avery Shaw's attitude, she didn't take any bullshit.

Laugh out loud sarcastic wit

I found this book to be hilarious especially Avery Shaw the female lead character because of her snarky quirky charm. I loved how the characters bantered back and forth it was refreshing. The storyline was believable and well written. This book is a must read/listen to if you love to laugh. I can tell the rest of this series is going to be just as amazing I can't wait to get to the next book. I highly recommend this book and this is my honest unbiased review.

Awful narration!

The person reading this book used no inflection, making Avery sound dry and flat. Ms. Clark reads like a tourist overly pronouncing words (writ---ten) while sucking a cough drop. The story is okay. Avery gets lost in her own irony.

Naration is hard to get past

Is there anything you would change about this book?

the Narrator

Would you recommend Who, What, Where, When, Die to your friends? Why or why not?

the narration was so bad I might have liked the book if I would have read it instead of listened

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Angel Clark?

Rebecca Gible

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

no

Reader is horrible, story is great.

What made the experience of listening to Who, What, Where, When, Die the most enjoyable?

The story is a fun tale.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Avery, she is fun and snarky with a dose of self importance.

What didn’t you like about Angel Clark’s performance?

She does great on the female voices but the men she makes them sound like they are mentally slow and uncaring. It has spoiled the enjoyment of the first 2 books now. Both times I have stopped the audible book to finish reading the book myself. She ruined my listening enjoyment by doing that to the male characters. Maybe you should have a man read the male parts if she can't do it right.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Yeah when I stopped listening and went back to reading it.

Any additional comments?

Unfortunately I have already purchased 6 of the audible books when I purchased the kindle version of the book because they were discounted. Live and learn.

very entertaining

the reader and the main character seen to be a prefect match. dive of the dead pan delivery of the character's internal dialogue loudly made me laugh out loud.

Childish, annoying main character

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

For me, it was time well spent. I was looking for a short and mindless story. I definitely got that. It was not a challenging or particularly good story.

Would you recommend Who, What, Where, When, Die to your friends? Why or why not?

No. I had difficulty liking the main character, and there wasn't much story or character development.

Did Angel Clark do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

I found her voice to be a little stilted but was not as opposed to it as some other reviewers

Story line is great, but shoot the narrator!!!!

The story seems to be pretty good so far. I only just started the book and I am on chapter 15 of 26. My main problem is the narrator. Her cadence is totally off and she has no business narrating a story. I am not sure if I will get the rest of the series in audible. I may have to just do the kindle thing for this series. That says a great deal since I love listening to my books while I work. I wish they could re-do these with a better narrator.

Loved It!

Where does Who, What, Where, When, Die rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I really enjoyed listening to the book, I loved the characters. Avery Saw a reporter, is having a bad week, and receiving death threats makes it even worse. She is not letting that stop her from her story even if she has to talk to her hot ex, the sexy sheriff. I LOVED the references to Goonies, StarWars, Disney and many others.

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

This is the first book by Angel Clark that I have listened to, but I am looking forward to listening to many more. She did a fantastic job narrating this book! She has a very easy voice that kept me entertained for hours. I get easily get distracted, but not the case with this book.

Any additional comments?

I loved the whole book and enjoyed listening to it. I am looking forward to listening to more books by this narrator and author. I highly recommend this book!
