Enjoyable

Even though this was virtual voice, it wasn’t bad. Change the voice speed to 1.25 and the narration was good. The storyline was entertaining as well.

Shadows of the Past Bk 4

I love this series and I'm sad that it's the last in the series - I wouldn't call this a cozy - it's a murder mystery that is so well written - It would capture everyone from 13 to 100 years of age that enjoys murder mysteries and falls for it's characters. There is no smut, and no swearing and I don't usually seek out either, nor do I care when the story adds either - but WOW, the character development and intrigue had me listening to the entire series in 2 days -that's how much I enjoyed it!
Virtual voice - was the only down side to this amazing story. My problem with virtual voice is, some words are pronounced properly and sarcasm is totally lost in conversation - lastly expressions like "tomato / to-mat-toe" are lost on virtual voice.
We all know Misty Raven is hiding something in book one but as I followed Misty along, I wanted to be her friend and confidant. She's strong, independent, yet not overtly -
This is my favorite murder mystery series I've listen to this year - hope to see more from Jenny Elaine - I'm hoping for more contemporary murder mystery stories like this from Jenny Elaine - I'm sad the series is over

Don’t like a computer generated narrator

I tried to listen to this but a computer generated voice doesn’t work for me. I kept losing my place because its reading isn’t very expressive. A real person can act with their voice, varying tempo and sound level to enhance interest in the story in a way a computer voice can’t.
