Story good, narrator blah

The story was fine. A little simple. But it's a short story, so that's probably par for the course. I'm not a fan of the narrator. She reads very choppy. And I'm definitely not liking how she does Romano's voice. Very hard sounding. Overall, it was okay. I'm hoping she improves with further books. As I have most of the set.

Nothing exciting

Nothing exciting or suspenseful here. Well written story but a plot that has been done over and over.

Short fast read

This Amazon Original was a fast audible listen. Most notably, the short story uses a nonverbal autistic child in a respectful manner. I appreciated the clarification, nonverbal does not mean unintelligent. The author also points out deliberately, the need for this child and others with the diagnosis to have a schedule. In addition, the story skates around parental screaming matches and the effects on children. Quite frankly, I thought the approach was beautifully done. Many people will be able to relate.

The story centers around a murder and all the usual bookish things necessary to keep us (readers) coming back.

I enjoyed the narrator.

There was swearing, minimally, as if it was a requirement.

Another successful book

It was a excellent short story. The plot moved along and I was. clueless how it would end ! Bravo!

Poor engineering

The hiss of an open mic interferes with the narration. I wish the engineer would have taken better care with the recording.

Loved the drama

I really enjoyed this short story especially the older homicide detective, Ramono. I hope she is in another in the series. Bree is kinda soft spoken but a strong character. I am going to preview the other books before purchase as I really enjoyed the chemistry between the two detectives.
aThis is a great listen for everyone who likes a bit of drama and suspense at the end of the work day.

Where was the little girl.

This was a great short read. Enjoyed the story and am so gald they found the girl. Sad that her committed murder. Their were no winners in this story.

Interesting

THIS REVIEW IS FOR BOTH THE AUDIOBOOK AND EBOOK VERSIONS
Interesting and enjoyable little story. The narration was perfect and lively. Great characters and intensity. I definitely recommend this book.

Not bad

The story line was good and so was the narration. Only thing I could say bad was I wish it was longer.

Short story

Good narration of a short story. Bree Taggert 0.5, a prequel to the series by Melinda Leigh.
