I love Avery

The stars are for the books not the narrator. The books actually do have mysteries even though they are easily solved. The characters are great and even though some readers find Avery hard to take I love her.

The narration is another thing. With the first book there are several mispronounced words, Jake sounds somewhat like an old man, and I'm not really sure what the deal with Eliot is. There are pauses when he speaks so it is very slow.

However, by the third book it is much better. Eliot speaks like a normal person and Jake isn't old sounding.

loved them all

Books 1 through 3 were hard to put down. Amanda M. Lee has a way with making me laugh and cry through them. Avery, Elliot and Jake are great. Grandpa makes me laugh also. I love to read books that get my emotions involved. I can't wait to read more of the books.

Avery is a Great character

Like the Avery character a lot. The sub plot love interest thing is pretty predictable but The characters and their interaction are fun so I don't really mind.

mmm

great story but the voice of the narrator is a bit annoying. and her reading style isn't great either

Enjoyed the story, reader could have done better

Enjoyable story line. Characters have dimension (not pure good or pure evil, make mistakes). The reader mispronounced a lot of words and that detracted from the audio book. I don’t mind when people do that in real life, but when being paid to read aloud, it seems like part of the job to check words you don’t know.

Good Series

Good chick flick for the enjoyment of a girl who is a reporter, thinks of herself, and the messes she gets into. The dialog and characters are quirky and fun, narration was enjoyable. Given audio for my voluntary review

Hooked on Phonics

Storyline pretty good. Narrator has problems with different voices, when she attempts a diiferent sound, she makes the characters sound like they have speech impediments, retarted or just graduated from Hooked on Phonics class. Except for that I enjoyed the story, but won't get the rest of series due to narrator.

Hard to listen

The story line is pretty good but the narration is lacking. The male character narration does not sound natural and being from southeast Michigan I am struggling with the mispronunciation of local street names.

A wonderful set of books!

Amanda M Lee is a fantastic story writer. She is funny, snarky, and her mysteries have enough twist, turns and side issues to keep you guessing and interested to the very end. Angel Clark brings the characters of the Avery Shaw mystery series alive. She is animated and a joy to listen too. This three book series is a wonderful buy and a great choice for listen in the car, plane, train, while doing chores, exercising and number of things. You won't be disappointed.

much better by book 2

don't be dissuaded by the torturous pronunciation in the 1st few chapters, the narrator improves as she relaxes...the cozy mystery starts a little flat too, but also fleshes out later... characters, conversation & humor become more believable...
