Yes!

Where does Nick Carter, Master Detective: Echoes of Death rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Wonderful stories! I'm familiar with some of the old radio shows, but this one was completely new and I love it! Very reminiscent of the old Perry Mason stories. Granted, Patsy is a bit slow on the uptake in most of these, but she seems to forget that she is supposed to be one step behind the boss and come across with a surprise every now and then. Remember, in that era a secretary was paid to make her boss feel pleased with himself, & Nick is quite good, really. They make a good team.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Haven't decided yet. Maybe I need a few more stories. ;)

What about Lon Clark’s performance did you like?

Very nice delivery! Rare to find such good voice acting! He does mispronounce a word occasionally, though.

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

Goodness, no! I want to make it last as long as possible, then listen again & mark my faves!
