I really did enjoy this mystery a lot ! I listened to it without stoopping! Had a nice amount of suspects & I didn't figure out who was guilty but I did figure out who several people were very early in book! Very great job by reader as she always is a treat to listen to I feel! I just found it to be a nice not to long or drawn out mystery to listen to on a lazy Sunday!

Well read

I was so happy to listen to this story. A new reading by Jo Smallheer who's talent for entertaining while she reads is second to none. I have missed listening to her contributions she is my favourite reader on Librivox. she can bring even the dullest book to life. Jo we need more!!!!

delightful find


(5 stars)

I have never read anything by this author before. This was a delightful mystery. The unusual Detective (s) made the whole story feeling delightfully fresh for a murder mystery. It had me stunts right to the end. Superbly read!

Intriguing, carefully composed mystery. Kept my involvement to the last entry. Marvelous retelling; I'll look for this author and reader with enthusiasm.
