Cozy Mysteries

Doppelganger Doozy

By: Gabriella Stone

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Joe Yetz has been a detective for nearly thirty-five years. His partner in crime and best friend, Kevin Bodine, retired the previous year, making Joe think long and hard about his own end game. Unfortunately for Joe, he doesn’t have the same financial cushion Kevin does and working cases is the only thing that makes him feel alive. When Joe comes across a murder that leaves no obvious clues, he’s at a loss until a woman comes into the department claiming to know much more about the case. Joe isn’t sure whether the woman is just looking for her fifteen minutes of fame, or whether she could actually be the key to solving a virtually unsolvable murder. In Doppelganger Doozy the reader will be engrossed in the life of a detective who’s using every skill set he has to catch a killer who knows just as much, if not more, about the police playbook than the cops do. Can Joe outsmart this wily fox or will he fall victim to cold calls and countless leads that take him nowhere but the cold case files?

Don’t like AI narration

Initially, I was pleasantly surprised at how natural the AI narration was. But as the book introduces characters, you realize there is no variation in inflection. Couldn’t listen very long and can’t really speak to the storyline, because my brain could only focus on the narration.
