Excellent series

Final chapter - please read them in order or you’ll miss the nuance of the characters.

Another good mystery

So glad I gave this author another chance. The mystery was a good one, even if it was a bit predictable. I’m also very glad there was not a lot of the tiresome “unworthy” sub-plot going on. If there is another Atlas mystery I beg the author not to fill it with more tiresome unrequited love/predictability of a dead spouse for the H’s friend.

Intriguing

I enjoy the intrigue of the cases and the characters! kept me riveted for sure.

Sorry this is the end

I truly enjoyed this series the characters and plot were well thought out and entertaining I was hoping this was not the last book but sadly it is.

Excellent production and story

Story is brought to life with the varying voices for the characters. Intriguing and well-developed mystery and love story. Sad this is the last in the series.

Wonderful Mystery

I have enjoyed the two previous books and couldn’t wait for more. I enjoyed the story and the characters. The twists and plot kept me intrigued and entertained. The narrator is great too! All 3 books were Definitely great reads!!!!

A-Ha!

A wonderful series with many complex characters. It gets a little confusing trying to sort the legitimates from the by-blows . And we think blended families are complex.

Excellent

After listening to the first excellent book in this series, I dove right in and binged the next two. Well constructed mystery with well-developed, well-written characters and a great voice performance. I just wish there were more books in the series

Satisfying series

I felt that this series got better with each of the 3 books. The quality of the narration lifts the story from “pretty good” to “really engaging.” The narrator really brings the characters to life.
