By: Miranda James

Narrated by: Jorjeana Marie

Length: 6 hrs and 54 mins

Publisher's Summary

An’gel and Dickce Ducote tend to stay put in Athena, Mississippi, but a wedding is a good reason to say a temporary farewell to Charlie Harris' cat, Diesel, and go visit relatives. But while their stay in Louisiana is scorching hot, the atmosphere at the wedding is downright cold, with bride-to-be Sondra Delevan putting her trust fund above little things like love and loyalty. When a violent storm supposedly sweeps Sondra off a balcony to her death, the sisters discover that many of the guests attending the wedding had major reasons to object to Sondra’s marriage. Now it’s up to An’gel and Dickce to use their down-home instincts to expose dubious alibis, silver-plated secrets, and one relentless murderer who lives for “till death do us part”.

Ouch!

Where does Dead with the Wind rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It's a pleasant cosy, which is what I bought it for.

If you’ve listened to books by Miranda James before, how does this one compare?

Mediocre - I missed Diesel the Maine Coon cat.

Would you be willing to try another one of Jorjeana Marie’s performances?

NO! While I'm not familiar enough with Southern accents to comment, her persistent mispronunciation of basic French words like "maman", "tante", and even "Ducote", the surname of two of the main characters, was wince-worthy.

Dead with Wind

I so enjoy the stories by Miranda James. I feel I almost know Charley and I love Diesel. I sincerely hope there will be more books with Diesel, Charles and the sisters.
Jorjeana Marie does a good job bring the characters to life, you almost believe they are sisters.
I hope there will be more books.

Painful to listen to

Honestly, the narration is SO bad that I could not make myself listen to more than one chapter. I wanted so much to hear the book, but not with this nasally/adenoidal childish voice.

Entertaining

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

Just what I wanted: light entertainment.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

The taste of the South

Do you think Dead with the Wind needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

Oh, yes! I want to see what the sisters get up to next.

Narrative

Really enjoyed this audio except for the "voice" of child. That grated on my last nerve.

Fantastic!

This was such a good book I hated for it to end. The characters were believable, enough detail so you felt like part of the story but not to much to keep up with. I can't wait for the next one!!

Wonderful

A terrific mystery, twists and turns, humor and well written. Enjoyed narrator as well.

A nice little under mystery

I accidentally came across Miranda James. Didn’t expect much but oh my, what a discovery. Absolutely love the sisters and the characters involved in her stories. The description of the setting is wonderful, the listener is transported to the south. I long to be seated around the table in the kitchen with Miss Dixie

I have purchased all 6 books and look forward to continuing my journey to the south
