The Best of Jericho

Another page turner in the Jericho series. Ann McMan combines her wit and stellar writing skills to tell us a difficult story that all at once rattles and uplifts the reader. Christine Williams brings the characters to life with her superb narration. I look forward to the next installment in this wonderful series with characters that are hard to let go of after the last page is turned, or word is spoken.

Goldenrod left me wanting more

My kids were raised by 2 moms in a rural Blue Ridge Mountains community and this book (series) tells the story of surviving and prospering in a poignant, heartwarming, and meaningful way. Ann McMan masterfully brings the characters of Jericho to life, as if my own friends and neighbors are a part of the story. This 3rd book in the series is so relevant and relatable. The series is narrated amazingly well. I only hope I don't have to wait too long for the next installment.

Jericho's a sojourn of love, triumph & meditation

OMG... how I love Ann McMan's creations in the Jericho series of novels! Ann's artistry with words, humor, passion, scene settings, personalities & relationships all offered me warm places to explore, grow, contemplate & sojourn. All the while artfully transported by Christine Williams' sultry voice as it moved me through 😄 joy 😡 anger 😢 sadness & 😍 love. Christine's voice was a very much appreciated partner in my Jericho experience!! Oh, how I miss Jericho! 💝 Thank you Ann and Christine! ------- P.S. I wrote the first part of this review when I was only ⅔ of the way thru listening to Goldenrod yesterday. Well, I just finished listening to the LAST 5 MINUTES of the book. NOW I NEED CARDIAC RESUSCITATION... and a promise of book 4 in the series... PLEASE PROMISE!!

WOW!

I loved Goldenrod. It's filled with the people we love from Jericho. I like that it touched on everyone's story. It advanced all the characters, not just some. Christine Williams does an excellent job with the narration. Anxiously awaiting the next book.

dang it was good.

Ann McMan has done it again. This Jericho addition was as well written as the first two! Wonderful real characters, this from a born and reared Southern soul, a story that rings true. My only problem is that there is not another one waiting to be downloaded!

Best author ever!

I very seldom leave a review. I found the Jericho series to be hilarious. I hope there is going to be another book, since we were left hanging. I can't wait.

OK..... Next Book Please

Author is really great on this series; However, not liking the ending on this one..... I feel like there is a dangling thread that needs to be pulled. It just felt rushed and incomplete.

Christine Williams is an excellent performer, and is perfect for these books.
Just have to sit and wait for what happens next.

Love Love Love these books

I will start with a PLEA, write another Ann, please.
Loved all the characters, have done since listening to the first in the series. This one is darker and it does not sit as easily with me as the other two did, but I suppose that is the point. Dark times have been in the USA for a few years now, and this is reflected in the weather imagery in this story. Keep them coming, and I will keep buying.

A must listen series

I am not one for leaving reviews normally. However this series really deserves one. the characters are great, and the narrator makes it very easy to know who is who.

Treat yourself and buy the 3 credits need to get the series, I am sure you will not be disappointed 😊

Third one,

and once again it was a pleasure to meet this wonderful community of Jericho.
Narration brought the characters to life.
On to the final(?) book in the series.

Good feel factor.

I loved it. A microcosm. Sensitively handled feelings and situations. The compassionately described Buddy. I worked with Autistic adults. Both the love and time showed him, the cruelty of others.

continues

although I enjoyed I felt the more characters added in town and county, the more the overall story was a bit disjointed, at least we're one character less who won't be missed.

Goldenrod is another excellent story from Ann McMan with top rate narration by Christine Williams.
