Twist and turns

Great book liked all of it. Recommend reading. I liked it all and I am going to read the next book.

monotonous tone of the narrator

needs to have a different narrator... love this author but needs someone else reading these stories.

First Time reader of Pierce & Bannister

Thanks for making this book available in English and French. The subject matter was current as was the style of speaking, making it easy for me to learn the French vocabulary when comparing the two books.

The characters

After reading the first two books of this series I can say I greatly enjoy them so far. Four aspects stand out to me. First the narration is perfect. Then the characters are relatable and lovable from Kate all through her partner, friends, and family life. Kate's struggle in the first book to get out of the boredom routine of retirement and her hunger for the excitement again added a great subplot to the mystery at hand. The second book showed us the struggle between her balancing her personal life with her career life. I really enjoyed those relatable subplots. And finally the story itself. The mysteries were captivating and to get into the minds of the killers themselves. I can't say too much without spoilers, but I ca say I loved the first two books and look forward to reading more.

quick fun read

I enjoyed the book and I'm enjoying the series. I hope to read more from this author. Light and balanced.

Sounds like robot

The storyline is excellent, but Mrs. Bannister sounds like a robot and the end of every sentence slams a wall. I listened to book 1 and overcame the voiceover because it’s a good story. Book 2.. I was hoping Bannister would settle in to the characters, but no. Geez. It’s awful. Inflection goes a long way …. Not trying to be mean at all, just a little constructive criticism.

Soft story

The story felt incomplete as if Blake lost track of the characters. The main story needed to develop more. I read his books all the time and this wasn’t up to par for me.
The reader needs to learn what a period means. Her voice seemed to remain the same throughout.

Disappointed

The story felt half-hearted, like a late night 30 minute drama. No character development, written as if the first attempt by a novice writer. Sorry, but I expect more than paint by numbers.
