Story good, narrator blah

The story was fine. A little simple. But it's a short story, so that's probably par for the course. I'm not a fan of the narrator. She reads very choppy. And I'm definitely not liking how she does Romano's voice. Very hard sounding. Overall, it was okay. I'm hoping she improves with further books. As I have most of the set.

Nothing exciting

Nothing exciting or suspenseful here. Well written story but a plot that has been done over and over.

How did they get all that in only one hour? Great read just like all the rest in the serious.

love the Bree Taggert series. even though just a short story it was still packed just as full as the rest of the books.

Short fast read

This Amazon Original was a fast audible listen. Most notably, the short story uses a nonverbal autistic child in a respectful manner. I appreciated the clarification, nonverbal does not mean unintelligent. The author also points out deliberately, the need for this child and others with the diagnosis to have a schedule. In addition, the story skates around parental screaming matches and the effects on children. Quite frankly, I thought the approach was beautifully done. Many people will be able to relate.

The story centers around a murder and all the usual bookish things necessary to keep us (readers) coming back.

I enjoyed the narrator.

There was swearing, minimally, as if it was a requirement.
