Reseñas de la Crítica

Listen to more of Hannah Swensen's tasty mysteries.

Hannah Needs to Pick a Man Already!

This plot is dragging this love story to death. Hannah is irritating. Does she think she's the only one that can date 2 people at once?! Mike and Norman should move on already. She's too finicky and indecisive. Let's move this story on please?!

Love the story…,not so much the narrator

I love these stories. I’ve actually read the series twice already but decided to listen to them this round.
Unfortunately the narrator seems to get worse with each story. Mispronouncing words and taking loud breaths in awkward places. I’ve been ignoring it but this story seemed particularly bad with the narrator.

Such an Ending

One of the better installments in the Hannah Swenson series. The ending was such a good one.

Typical Hannah Swensen story

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

Good narrator performance. Story was typical for this series. All the recipes get to be monotonous but at least you can skip to the next chapter to avoid them.

Lengthy Recipes Distracting

Is there anything you would change about this book?

I love audible books especially due to major eye problems the last few years. This book had a good story but listending to recipes was too much and I quit about a third of the way thru. I did buy the Kindle edition and did fine with that.. I can go back and copy what recipes I want. I am a recipe collector so it is not that I don't like to bake.

What was most disappointing about Joanne Fluke’s story?

The story was fine but lost interest during narration of the recipes. The ending was odd - it did leave some loose ends that could have been tied up.

What about Suzanne Toren’s performance did you like?

Ms Toren was fun to listen to and she could make all the characters voices unique in reading.

Could you see Devil’s Food Cake Murder being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

No opinion about an actor but would watch the show.

Any additional comments?

I was going to order other audio books by Joanne Fluke but think I will see if I can get to read easier and go the book/Kindle route. I will hopefull be able to return this book.
