I have enjoyed Nathan Timmel's humor for several years, so was surprised to learn he had also dipped his toes into the world of crime fiction.
After I read a synopsis of the plot of We Are 100, I HAD to order it from Audible ASAP! I love the story AND Nathan's narration.
I can reassure anyone who cares that I am not a gung-ho fan boy who will forgive any weaknesses in the total production. As a retired Language Arts teacher and private tutor, I hear any plot holes, bad grammar, or mispronunciations loudly and clearly! I am happy to report no plot holes, only one unintended grammar error, and two mispronunciations by the author/narrator. Well done, Nathan, editors, and other support staff!
I can't wait until Nathan lands a gig within 50 miles of Green Bay, Wisconsin--I'll be there!

I've only read the first chapter and it was terrible! Not funny, terrible delivery. I'm doing this review now so I can read other reviews to see if it gets better.
I've now read more, and it DOESN'T get any better!
The stories might be mildly interesting if Wade's delivery wasn't so unprofessional. Nothing is funny, OR heartwarming!
Wade must have hired all his friends to post all those 5 star reviews...smh!

This is a very enjoyable, clever script, brought to life by Ms. Chalfant's delightful performance!

This story was well written and well narrated.
The one flaw that did deeply disappoint me was that the protagonist wasn't much more logical or disciplined than the idiot teenagers in slasher films.
It seemed like she made the wrong decision every time she had to solve a problem.
Other than that characterization, Tell Me Lies was a strong, interesting story.

That fucking Flowers! He gets the toughest cases in his beloved rural Minnesota! While some of his cases have stretched credulity, this one is more realistic, while still offering some of the quirkiest characters ever to offer "comic relief" in a murder mystery.
Sandford always offers a secondary plot that is just plain fun. In this case, unemployed rural folks are pissing off Mattel by "retrofitting" Barbie and Ken dolls to resell as sex toys! Sandford uses this secondary plot to lampoon Americans who take silly things too seriously.
Conger's narrative portrayals are once again spot-on! 5 stars throughout!
