Any additional comments?

I just finished listening to C.S. Patra’s Wrapped in Death and Chocolate. It reminded me of Nancy Drew, a good old fashioned murder/mystery. I really enjoy those types of books depending on my mood and I was in the mood.

Stacey is a college student, she and a group of other college students help run an ice cream shop and on the side they solve crimes. In this case, a body was found in a chocolate vat at a plant. Each clue they stumbled across led them to a new lead until they finally solved the crime.

The narrator Abbi Fox uses a clear voice. At first I wasn’t sure her voice fit the story but after a couple chapters I warmed to it and found I really enjoyed her voice.

This is the type of story that’s great for all ages. There’s no gore or explicit scenes.

An Okay Whodunit

Wrapped in Death and Chocolate was an okay listen. It was an easy listen but didn't have a lot of substance. The plot was interesting but was repetitive. It went in circles. It could've used more editing and finer details. The characters were one dimensional. On the other hand, I wasn't able to figure it out right away.

Abbi Fox's performance was good. I liked listening to her and I think she saved the story. She had a clean read with nice voice inflections.

What about Abbi Fox’s performance did you like?

I was not thrilled by the narrator. The audio performance was very rough.
