Critiques
Paul Busman
An excellent reading of an interesting mystery. I'd never heard of this author before but I'll surely listen to more of his novels.
SHAKESPEARE SAID IT!
AVID READER
A clever story with enough twists to keep the reader guessing. Sharon read it well.
enjoyable
Caron Osberg
I enjoyed this reader. I like these books, the era and their style, but this one seemed more endless than usual. By the time the book wrapped up, I had stopped caring who the murderer was! Even so, I enjoyed the story thoroughly until about the last 20%.
not my favorite
