Crystal Whisperer

Spotless Series, Book 3

By: Camilla Monk

Narrated by: Amy McFadden

Length: 11 hrs and 43 mins

Publisher's summary

Perpetually foiled romance heroine Island Chaptal and reformed cleaning expert March - or is it Mr. November? - are enjoying a pleasant break in South Africa, after brushing with death in the inhospitable and platypus-infested mountains of Liechtenstein.

That is, until a commercial flight disintegrates over the Atlantic, killing hundreds, and Island's supervillain dad makes the news as the mastermind behind the attack. Old Lion Dries is now on the run, and he calls upon his last ally - and favorite disciple - March.

From the streets of Venice to the turquoise waters of French Polynesia, March and Island embark on a deadly race against the clock to find out what secrets lie behind Dries's downfall, and stop the mysterious Crystal Whisperer before it's too late. This time, though, there might just be no winning against futuristic weapons, CIA agents, Roomba cats, (reluctantly) evil henchmen, and dads who won't let you get your groove on, dammit!

An awesome series to hear!

I absolutely love this series. Spotless is such a fun read and it was a joy hearing it. Worth the $$S

So good!

Exciting, nail biting, beautiful! Once again the writing and Amy McFadden create an amazing experience!

Wonderfully good, can't wait for the next one!

These books move at a very nice pace, filled with well developed characters, wry humor and unexpected turns. Start at book one and you won't regret it. My usual is space opera, preferably military space operas and Scandinavian murder mysteries so you can see this is not my usual. Totally captivated me!

Thank You

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

It definitely did! After loving the first book (but hating the second) I was a little worried for this one. However, it did not disappoint. I felt like it was back on track with it's quirky charm and emotional drama that kept you on a fast-paced journey through multiple countries and sticky situations.

Which character – as performed by Amy McFadden – was your favorite?

March is (and will always be) my favorite! Amy McFadden not only gives March his proper accent but she goes so far as to speak Afrikaans.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I almost did!

Any additional comments?

This book was by far my favorite in the series.

a bit repetitive of the first two novels

The great premise and fascinating, complex Mr. November led to my true enjoyment of the first two books in the Spotless series. This one seemed a bit like more of the same, with an attenuated plot. Terrific narration.

LOVE IT

A man is supposed to keep his woman, well feed, well dressed and well fucked. That is the best line in the book. My first tears came after Joy, Island's roommate finds her bound in her bed with a man in the room. She sings, Oh my God finally with the religious fervor of seeing Christ raise from the dead. I am listening to it for the fourth time, that part, not the book. Joy is so funny. Her BFF is trussed up looking ready for a BDSM session is about to happen. Before leaving the room, she asks, can I get you guys anything, booze, toys, protection? I don’t want to say anything about the book except is damn funny. Oh yea, I am a taking one star because the author plays that same old played plot line of… I hate him, I hate him, but his ass really looks good. I want to jump his bones. Hum, I must give that star back. read it and you will know why.

Highly recommend this book!!

Amy McFadden delivered another awesome performance that brought Camilla's gripping story to life!! A must read!!

EXTREMELY IRRITATED WITH ENDING

If you could sum up Crystal Whisperer in three words, what would they be?

VERY DISAPPOINTING ENDING.

What could Camilla Monk have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Give some sort of win in the end--instead of a total loss.

Which character – as performed by Amy McFadden – was your favorite?

March.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Any additional comments?

I have enjoyed the first two of this series but this one made me very frustrated. It's one thing watching a nightly show or weekly serial that has a cliff hanger but to do this sort of cliff-hanger at the END OF A BOOK, when you won't be able to read a sequel for another year or so is very irritating. Even movies that allude to more to come, still ends a movie with a good ending. Maybe the real bad guy is still alive and you know more is to come in the next movie but you can wait because at least the movie ended on some sort of a win. This story ends totally, on a loss. There was nothing gratifying about it and it made me not want to recommend it as I know my friends (who I had read the first two) will be disappointed to now read this due to the ending.

NNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! CLIFFHANGER!!!!!!

I am DYING HERE!!!! I can't TAKE IT!!!

I love these books!!! It took FOREVER for book 3 to come out!!!

Now I have to wait for book 4 ????

Can you tell I am really upset, my advice wait to start the series. It is so good! It is a crime to leave us hanging!!

Amy McFadden is wonderful!!! I love the main characters Island and March!!! Camilla begins each chapter in a unique way. It seems like forever since book 2 but, Camilla did a great job of recapping in book 3 without repeating.

I highly recommend this series but only if you don't mind waiting!

I NEED MORE

This book definitely moved forward the plot, and the ending...Phew. Despite the usual light humor scattered throughout, this book felt heavier than the last two. I won't spoil anything, you just have to listen/read for yourself. I am, however, going to breathlessly awaiting the next book in the series!
