I needed a change and this was it!

Lately I've been listening to book after book of the heroine baker saves the day and needed something different. I found it. I was amazed how Barnett makes the heroes in this series a community of characters and not just one person. I love how we learn of the main characters back stories and personal struggles instead of here are 2 cops and this is the case. The story line is good and the villains are colorful. I really liked the narrator. His character voices helped me to flesh out the people in the story. I'll be searching for more Barnett...keep writing!

Great Characters

I like me the main characters of this series but wish the plots were more complex.

Brock & Poole?????

Really enjoyed these characters and the way they've been introduced to me. Story well thought out and like style of writing

Great!

I love the characters in these books. The author has made them authentic and multidimensional. The dialogue has the dry humor you can imagine in a workplace. The plot is excellent and the story moves along such you hate to stop listening. The narrator is outstanding.

Another fun one

Brooke and Poole on another investigation, this time starting at the museum where Brooke’s wife works. Just can’t have an enjoyable night without finding a dead body. There’s relationship updates, car chases, missing brothers, missing mothers, stolen inheritance and so much more and is Brook breaking up the team???

Very good read!

I disliked that I was left hanging. Otherwise, this book was excellent. I wonder that there were no other books on Audible.

Wonderful

Loved this story. What a great mystery that had me guessing wrong so many times. The narrator was berry good. Each personality shown through beautifully. The ending made me want the next one now. Shame on you author! 😈😈 way to keep your readers on their toes.

Awesome

Love the story line. Narrator is awesome. Highly recommend this entire series. Can’t wait for next book!

Is the reader the problem?

The book is s decent work for lovers of British crime, but I think a reader with a graver delivery would complement it better. The reader is skilled, but uses a lilting, light tone that detracts from the subject matter, murder. I found myself unsure whether the author meant to be tongue in cheek, or it just sounded that way. I may have to read, rather than listen, to this series in order to form my own opinion.

Disgusted

Though the characters are likable and a continuing storyline is sometimes acceptable, this ending g shows contempt for the reader (listener). Not sure I'll continue the series.
