The Ghost Wears A Badge

De: Lolli Powell

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Shelby Wolfe doesn’t believe in ghosts, but the one who asks her to solve his murder doesn’t care.

River towns—even ones named Goose Lick—have their charm. For recently divorced Shelby, Goose Lick also has extended family, which is just what she needs. It also has an old police station/former hotel for sale cheap, and Shelby knows all about rehabbing old buildings. But when the former and now deceased police chief appears with his claims of murder, she realizes she’s gotten more than she bargained for.

The chief died of carbon monoxide poisoning, and the town is evenly divided on whether it was an accident or suicide. The chief insists it was neither, but it seems dead people don’t have access to all the answers. Shelby agrees to investigate his death in the hope that if she finds them for him, he’ll move on.

She soon finds that river towns have more than charm, family, and cheap old buildings. They also have secrets. And some people will kill to keep them.

Great cozy mystery but narration could be better

Having lived in Ohio and Kentucky I was interested in hearing a story around places I know. I enjoyed the story and the mystery kept me interested.

The narration was offputting. There were 2 things that got to me. At times there were long pauses between words and sentences. Setting the narration speed at 30% faster still had the gaps. The other is the voice did not have the accent or inflections of people form southern Ohio or northern Kentucky. With AI it wasn't possible for the reader to change voice for the different characters so male and female speakers were all the same.
