I have listened to hundreds of books never have I heard such a poor reader !! Accents, inflection and tone completely wrong I did listen to all of the set Steve Higgs creates amusing characters with if not plausible storyline interesting and amusing twists and turns … enjoyable However the reader never improved in fact her performance deteriorated to the point of unbearable !!

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 864
She's just watching, thinking about it again, when a big flash car pulls up outside. No one gets out. Then the doors of the bar open and people appear. Two men and a youngish woman, and one of the men has a hold on the woman's arm. It looks as if they're having words. Then this all happens quickly—they push the woman towards the car, one of the back doors opens, and they manhandle her inside. Sarah hears a muffled shout from the woman and the car pulls away. It's all over in a few seconds.

When 89-year-old Emyr Isaac is found dead in his home, Drake and his team initially suspect a burglary gone wrong. Isaac was old, and his death was a tragedy, but it’s not a murder case...is it? But as the investigation develops, Drake uncovers more suspicious deaths, but with one connection: Each victim received care from the same healthcare professional. Drake must do all he can to ensure no more lives are lost...even if it means putting members of his own team in harm’s way.

Bad Language...

Unfortunately will not listen to any more in series or by this author ... unnecessary use of the F word
Usually love Davinia Porter but in this case she was a poor choice for New England and NY accents

Laid off from her department store job, Carmen has perilously little cash and few options. The prospect of spending Christmas with her perfect sister Sofia, in Sofia’s perfect house with her perfect children and her perfectly ordered yuppie life, does not appeal. Frankly, Sofia doesn’t exactly want her prickly sister Carmen there, either. But Sofia has yet another baby on the way, a mother desperate to see her daughters get along, and a client who needs help revitalizing his shabby old bookshop. So Carmen moves in and takes the job.

Most disappointing Christmas listen
Reviewed: 12-15-21
I am an avid Audible listener though seldom write reviews I am have listened and enjoyed to a number of Jenny Colgan books …I was so COMPLETELY DISAPPOINTED in this one. Her books are usually light hearted while still dealing with interesting life situations This one mostly focused on shallow self centered ridiculous characters and even those portrayed as having some depth had questionable ways of making their way through life. I take exception to the bad language especially the use of the F word … what a pity for her as an author

Dick Francis never fails to keep one interested! Always interesting twists and insights into the workings of the human mind while keeping the mysteries clean leaving things to ones own imagination I appreciate the lack of foul language so prevalent in writing today

During a train trip from Chicago to Texas in the late 1940s, A.W. Tozer began to write The Pursuit of God. He wrote all night, and when the train arrived at his destination, the rough draft was done. The depth of this book has made it an enduring favorite.

"And see if there's any news about the missing girl." Life, as Smith used to say, is just one thing after another - as one investigation ends, a new one begins. But for reasons unknown to the rest of her team, DCI Cara Freeman will be haunted by the next case for the Kings Lake Central murder squad. They find themselves delving into the seamy side of life in the town, and one of their number will have departed before this new investigation is over. Perhaps Detective Sergeant Chris Waters should have seen it coming, but he has a lot more than work on his mind these days.
