Kill Your Boss

De: Jack Heath

Narrado por: Jessica Bell, Fayssal Bazzi, Rohan Nichol, Annie Maynard, Nathalie Morris, Shaun Martindale, Fraser Morrison

Sometimes work can be murder.

Detective Sergeant Kiara Lui has just broken up a loud brawl between two blokes in front of the Warrigal Public Library. But just as she's about to leave the scene, a man plummets from the sky and slams into the bike rack right in front of her, dead.

Head of Library Services, Neville Adams, was hated by staff, borrowers, and in fact anybody who had ever met him. What might have tipped that hatred into outright murder? The building is quickly sealed, trapping all the suspects inside. Someone should be in custody within minutes.

Instead, the investigation spirals outward, ensnaring half the town, and possibly connecting to a missing-persons a case that has yet to be solved, and which has had the whole town talking. If Neville’s killer isn't found fast, their first victim may not be the last . . .

A darkly-funny, propulsive thriller from the bestselling author of Kill Your Husbands.

I’m torn…

I’m torn about this review. The story was okay, the cast of characters did a good job. At points, the story drugged on when it could have been more succinct. Overall, it’s a good book to escape.

Games of Thrones-y with suspects

I really enjoyed this book. There were no ratings or reviews on this when I selected it. The mystery was good also. Would love to read the next one.

fun listening

action packed and good story line although I had it figured out pretty early

Juicy whodunnit with a great blend of humor and suspense

The colorful characters, intriguing story, and dark humor drew me in quickly. I enjoyed all the little twists and turns to the plot right up to the end. Both well written and fast moving.

Good story with too many narrators

This was a really fun whodunnit with engaging characters interesting plot twists. Individually, the voice actors were all great. But there is NO NEED for this many voices in a third person narrative of this length.

We don’t spend enough time with most of the POV characters to justify a new voice actor, and it just becomes distracting, especially when they’re combined in single chapters and going back and forth. It feels like it should be dialogue, but it’s not. The VAs are representing alternating POVs that aren’t distinct enough to warrant different voices. The fact that each VA also gives different characterization to overlapping characters makes characters themselves weaker, not stronger. No need for this jumble.
