Story4.5 out of 5 stars 3,525
An Atlanta ex-cop comes to Lake Sackett, Georgia, seeking peace and quiet - but he hasn’t bargained on falling for Frankie, the cutest coroner he’s ever met. Frankie McCready talks to dead people. Not like a ghost whisperer or anything - but it seems rude to embalm them and not say hello. Fortunately, at the McCready Family Funeral Home & Bait Shop, Frankie’s eccentricities fit right in. Lake Sackett’s embalmer and county coroner, Frankie’s goth styling and passion for nerd culture mean she’s not your typical Southern girl, but the McCreadys are hardly your typical Southern family.

A canny young woman is struggling to survive by perpetrating various levels of mostly harmless fraud. On a rainy April morning, she is reading auras at Spiritual Palms when Susan Burke walks in. A keen observer of human behavior, our unnamed narrator immediately diagnoses beautiful, rich Susan as an unhappy woman eager to give her lovely life a drama injection. However, when the "psychic" visits the eerie Victorian home that has been the source of Susan’s terror and grief, she realizes she may not have to pretend to believe in ghosts anymore.

Napawaupee, Wisconsin is the hometown you all remember, where the hottest action going is high school football or statutory rape and booze is the salve for what Jesus can't heal." The Connollys of Napawaupee are the quintessential small-town family. They are the "royals of a cast-off kingdom, curators of an inbred knowledge, the keepers of a dull flame."

Scary real small town family conflict...
Reviewed: 07-20-16
What made the experience of listening to The Brothers Connolly the most enjoyable?
Exceptionally written and narrated. The author is very articulate and the narrator brings you into the lives of this family. I could actually see every family member as the book unfolds.
What other book might you compare The Brothers Connolly to and why?
The Brothers Karamazov, maybe? This could just be because of the name, but also because of the family fighting for survival with a crazed family member.
Which scene was your favorite?
My favorite scenes were centered around Jack. A homosexual who had to move home after failed attempts to be a playwright in the big city.
If you could rename The Brothers Connolly, what would you call it?
Lives in small town America.
Any additional comments?
Highly recommend this book!

Story4 out of 5 stars 644
Having two of his fingers cut off at an early age hadn't done much to make Xandrith an agreeable fellow. Besides marking him as a pariah and having him shunned by even his own family, it had also hurt. A lot. Being stripped of a few of his fingers and cast out of the Order of Mages had left him bitter and angry, but if there was any consolation to be had it was that he was doing rather well in his new line of work. While perforating people for money might not have been the most noble of callings, it was quite lucrative.

If you could sum up The Snow Song: Hungering Saga 3 in three words, what would they be?
engaging, inspirational, heartwarming
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Snow Song: Hungering Saga 3?
His daughter and Malice. I really can't say anymore without revealing the story. Need to read to find out their outcome.
Have you listened to any of Paul J. McSorley’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Yes, I have listened to several of his narrations. I think this book was, by far, his best narration to date. His voice and the voices he gives the characters draws you further into the story. Some of the voices he gave the characters were remarkable. When he used two voices as one I was blown away! Great job!
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It didn't make me laugh or cry, but I did have some strong emotions. At times I wanted to slap the leading character for being selfish and not using his head. Other times I wanted to hug him and tell him everything would be fine.
Any additional comments?
I would like to listen to other books from this author.
