Entertaining Murder Mystery

Carrie Lloyd and her detective partner, Guy Maclin, get involved in a case in Memphis where a young couple have been murdered on New Year's Eve. The crime scene is confusing, but Carrie is determined to solve the crime. As the case progresses, it turns from a seeminly innocent young couple dead to drugs and politics. As advertised, it is a clean, cozy mystery that has no sex or violence, no swearing, etc.

The story was good and kept me interested, and confused! throughout. I had just listened to another book with the same narrator, and found the same issue with her narration. She is good, no doubt, but she has a deep voice to begin with, and uses the deep voice for Carrie. The problem is that her mail voices all tend to sound the same, deep, gravely and gruff. It takes a little while in the beginning to get used to the voices and figure out who is speaking, but once you get used to her, you'll enjoy the story.

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review

Other City Murders were Narrated Better

Other “City Murders” Were Narrated better. Although this lady’s voice was pleasant when she read the women’s parts, her performance of the men’s parts was lacking.

Entertaining murder mystery

A double murder takes detectives, Carrie Lloyd and Guy Maclin, away from their New Years Eve plans and thrusts them into a case that leaves emotional scars. With very few initial clues the detective work hard to try to break the case and bring the killers to justice. You can’t help but feel empathy for Carrie as she tries to cope with her emotions and you can see why police officers often suffer from PTSD. I enjoyed this entertaining murder mystery and look forward to more in the City Murders series.

Dalglish’s stories are always a delight

I have enjoyed every one of the novels I’ve experienced by John Dalglish. They are rarities in the modern mystery genre as they are all without the language and gore of most others and yet are well written, compelling stories that hold your interest through to the “didn’t see that coming” conclusions. I especially enjoy reading about cities I’ve visited, as he always puts the action in areas I can picture in my mind’s eye. His characters are believable and he skillful enough to have the good guys tough yet Morally strong and compassionate and the bad guys evil yet seen as redeemable. Great author, can’t recommend him enough!

good one

the changing of the voices was a little off. but great story despite all that
