After 17 books, Ida Belle finally got married! The Lady PIs were at it again & it was hilarious! Loved all the twists & turns of the evidence and the surprise ending! A very fun way to get done with my laundry, dishes & even paperwork!

I liked the way the mystery progressed. Of course the characters were as funny as usual & makes for a good break. The surprise ending was really two surprises in a row! I like when there’s still something I haven’t figured out yet! Looking forward to the follow up…

This was another good story by Rhys Bowen! After so many books, authors usually start to sound the same. However, this story was not only fun, but new & interesting! Great mystery & she kept us guessing to the end. Although I had my suspicions, I like Georgie, couldn’t get past the obvious. The surprise ending filled in the details! Can’t wait for the next book!!!

Although this is a great story & the narrator was pretty good…Dick Hill had really been the voice of Harry Bosch!!! He always did an outstanding job with all the characters! I have to think of this book as another series…not really Harry, but another policeman in an alternate series! Just not the same!

The only thing that I didn’t like, was the narrators fast speed!! He did a good job with most of the voices, however, he spoke so fast that it was hard to follow. I understand that the Irish do speak fast, but it would have been more enjoyable if he could have relaxed a little!!!

Great balance of mystery, fear & romance! Nora Roberts never disappoints. Amazing how she can continue to come up with such unusual story plots! January LaVoy did an excellent job as narrator! She has come a long way from the first narrations I listened to in the past. Great book all around!

Too much VooDoo & Satanic stuff! And unrealistic that almost every guy was gay! If that wasn’t bad enough, the narrator made everyone sound the same. Women & men alike had high voices & it was hard to listen to! Although she had good energy, her explanations & reactions made me cringe. If I could have gone without knowing the killer, I would have dumped the book in the 2nd chapter! Next time I will!!

The story was interesting & fun to guess at the killer. Great surprise to see who actually did the deed! Although Katheryn Kellgren is missed, Jasmine Blackborow has really improved & did a good job narrating this book! Hope people will not be snobby & give her a chance!!!

The story & the plot was really good. Had no clue of the real Murderer until close to the end! That’s the way I like it…Keeps us guessing. There was a nice surprise at the end too!

McTiernan has a great style & always comes up with interesting plots. This book in particular keeps you guessing on who the Murderer is going to be. I also like her characters & their personalities. Like real people, not everyone is nice nor ethical. There are characters you can dislike & root for them to get in trouble! However, I’m always happy to see Sgt. Riley do a great job, & the other Garda respect & admire him!
