Good Story





mikezane
What if a person tried to fix something from the past and then was murdered for it? This is the basis for this book. Enter an inquisitive reporter with a good mind who is determined to solve the murder and outwit the police officers. Now there's a newspaper I'd LOVE to read. The mystery is well-written and keeps you guessing as to who the REAL guilty party is. Reading is mostly well done, with a few rough spots.
Good plot twists

I enjoyed this book and all but 1-2 of the readers did an excellent job. My only complaint is the abrupt ending. After the carefully thought out story with all the details and plot development, I was surprised that the whole thing ended so suddenly and with a one sentence explanation.
A good whodunit

The MikeZane review is spot on. I didn't know who did it until the end. Speaking of, some say that the ending was abrupt. It's not if you've been paying attention. By being told who the murderer was you then automatically knew why that person did it. There's no need to explain why unless your mind wandered or you fell asleep instead of hearing the entire book. I don't want to explain more because I don't want to spoil it. Regardless, this is a good old fashioned whodunit. It's a murder mystery without gore, with the only violence being the murder, without psychos, & with someone detecting and solving the crime. Just how I like them!

This must have been one of the first books Libre recorded and used it to audition the 30 plus individual readers. Many of these individuals have kept sharing their talents with us who find the old books so pleasurable. Since we can not thank the authors, we can praise MOST of the readers who bring the books to life. However, there are some used repeatedly whose skills are so lacking I will not torture myself with the listening. They are not worth it
Oh No....Murder!

Oh yeah, it's Murder alright, sho did it and why? Great story many twists and turns with multiple people involved. The readers are all good. You may have to speed up or slow down via the Rabbit 🐰 icon (upper right corner) or listen a bit more carefully. The reward is a very cool whodunnit & becoming a better listener.
enjoyable story...good reading

I like the plot of the story . JS Fletcher does, as always , an awesome job with this one. I find that I prefer that one reader read the whole thing; however, I realize that's a big commitment. The readers did pretty well, some of the audio was a little difficult but nobody was really difficult to understand.
Good story but don't like multiple readers

The story is engaging. I enjoy this author. As others have said, it is annoying to have different readers each chapter and a few of them were quite bad. However., I persisted and went to the end which left me feeling as if the author didn't quite finish.
Interesting mystery.

I find it difficult to "get involved" and follow along with so many readers. I would have enjoyed it more had there been only one reader. Hence, I cannot review story with objectivity. Sorry. Apropos, some of the readers were awful and detracted from the understanding and enjoyment of the story.
