NICE!

This book is awesome. It keeps you interested, it keeps you in-tuned to all the characters and storylines. Sadly but gives you a snapshot of the south. I am from the south, GA; everyone is connected somehow even people who you wouldn’t think are, end up being connected.

The story is the best as well as by the reader, enjoyable book 

I recommend this book 
The story and the reader are both very enjoyable. He is a fine writer.

WoW!!! Awesome Book

New listener to the series. Blown away by the depths of character, the raw emotion, And unexpected twists in the plot. The author touched my sense of right and wrong and the inequalities show prevalent between the haves and have nots in our society. Compelled to go back to the beginning of the series.

The s Southern killer

I was not able to figure it out, and I like a book I can't figure out. very enjoyable listening to.

Great story

Joe Hennessy’s voice was too much of a growled whisper throughout. I would have preferred a regular conventional full throated voice

the trial

The plot was a good nailbiter as things changed with each new piece of information.

Outstanding Narration

Like it’s predecessors, the Southern Killer jumps right into the story. It’s gripping and near impossible to put down.

As a Southerner, nothing turns me off more than an obviously fake dialect. Charleston, like New Orleans, has various and distinct accents from the Gullahs’ Geechie to the elegant aristocratic and genteel Southern voices. Bradford Hastings nails a very difficult narration to pull off.

O’Mahoney uncovers the facade of the gracious mannered population of Charleston to reveal a malicious side of the city even most residents rarely see. Charleston is indeed the jewel of the South. I’ve been many times. My brother in law once ran for Governor of South Carolina. Every trip there reveals new revelations of our nation’s past. I love how the author subtly reveals the stark differences between the low country and the Upstate of South Carolina.

a must listen...can't wait for book 4

the presentation and reading was top notch. great story. I could feel the emotions of each character

Great read

As the other titles in this series , I really enjoyed this book. It kept me interested and I couldn't put it down. Looking forward to reading the next in this series.

It's a perfect book. Nothing to complain about at all!

This book had no slow parts, Had a great storyline, a great narrator and even a pretty great twist that made me say "Ah ha!"! While it wasn't difficult to assume the outcome of the book, the twist definitely kept it interesting and and it was just overall a great book! I am definitely off to look at some of this authors other books, as this was my first one. Also, it read great as a standalone. While I now want to listen to his other books, I hadn't ever listened to one before, so I knew none of the story leading up to this book, but I didn't need to. It was perfect.
