Enjoyable

I love the interaction between Seb and Birdie. The story was great. I enjoyed that it was a good story with a good plot but that it didn’t have the darkness that often happens in police procedurals / detective novels.

Emotional rollercoaster and well worth the ride

This book will take you along on many different paths, testing your own deductive powers and surprising you still. The ending was perfect. I am looking forward to traveling along on the next adventure for Seb and Birdie.

Fabulous!

I thought I couldn't love another group of characters as much as in the Cavendish and Walker series, but I do! Keep on, Ms. Rigby, you're the best!

Love Seb and Birdie!

I am hooked on this series in audio. Great writing and narration as well as very likeable main characters.

The new very likable series.

I enjoy all of Sally Rigbys books, but the serial killer thing can get old after a while so I’m very glad that she changed course. These characters are likable in the story interesting. Looking forward to the third installment.

Great series with some hiccups...

I'm enjoying this new offspring from the Cavendiah and Walker series. The narration is great and the characters have alot of personality and interesting storylines to share. The only real problem is that right before the plot is revealed, the writting getting muddled and a bit ridiculous, then it clears up towards the ending. A hiccup in an otherwise good story.

WOW Even better than book 1

I love this new series. Birdie is a hoot and the camaraderie between her and Sebastian feels real. My only complaint is it was toooooo short. The story line filled the book, it did not feel rushed, but I it was over too fast. i Like books that are longer, like around 10-12 hours minimum

Enjoyable new series

Really liked the characters. Found a new fabulous narrator. Look forward to more in the series

Love this series!!!!

I love this series of Detective Sebastian Clifford.
These stories always keep my interest and I LOVE the narrator.
The voices of the characters are so interesting. He is truly an artist! On to the next book!!! ❤️

Loved it!

I started out listening to the Cavendish and Walker series and really enjoy that. I was curious what this one would be like and I found that I like it even more! I find the Birdie character very relatable with her quirks and idiosyncrasies and Seb is a great straight man but not quite as uptight as Dr. Cavendish in C & W. I'm eager to hear in which direction this pair will go. I can't wait until the next book comes out!
