Type Hard. Type Fast. Make Dough. That was the formula of old-school pulp fiction—plot-driven, popular and gobbled up by a reading public hungry for more. And it produced many writers who hammered out a living selling “cash-and-carry” stories and novels. Some of these writers were among the best America has ever produced. Writers like Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett and John D. MacDonald.

I learned a lot from this
this had a lot of really good, useful information for people who are thinking about writing a cozy mystery series. A lot of the things that were covered in this book were not initially on my mind when I considered beginning the path of writing a cozy mystery series. although the narrator is virtual AI, I think it did a good job. it sounded like a real person except in only certain circumstances like notating symbols or website addresses, but other than that it sounded like a real person. I am glad I put this book in my library because I will probably listen to it again.

Great Intro to Cozy Mysteries
This was a lovely guide to starting a cozy mystery! The chapters are straight to the point with lots of practical examples and even activities for you to do at the end. The AI narrator was fine, not too distracting. Definitely would recommend for authors looking to begin their mystery careers.

Bad AI audio.
I have no issue with nonhuman narrators if it’s done well and edited correctly. This wasn’t.
