A thinking mystery
Reviewed: 09-27-23
Patterson writes for this every bit as well as he does for his books. Using the spoken word and casting each character becomes richly developed even if only briefly.

Continuity?
Reviewed: 09-23-23
Perhaps I misunderstood, but I thought Petra and Aristotle were born after Nix and Katma, yet the Mother refers to her as her eldest daughter.
Previously Nix and Katma had talked about their time before the twins.
I am pleasantly surprised that this isn’t about Vampires.

Story
Jack Diller is just one more struggling actor on the road to nowhere. He’s got an agent who barely remembers his name, his ex-girlfriend has hooked up with a Silicon Valley dude, and the milk in his fridge is so far past its sell-by date it’s historic. The only way Jack can scrape together a bare existence is by delivering food to exactly the types of successful people he wishes he could be. Then, one day, a very strange audiobook shows up on his phone.

I love Wil Wheaton and Ron Perlman individually, but they are great as a pair. This is a very clever story line, anyone who has minority report thoughts when personalized ads come up will have a good think about this gem.

Story
Charlotte McBee knows she’s in for a challenge when she accepts a job as midwife for a dragon and a phoenix shifter. Being a fairy herself, it isn’t the supernatural world that scares her.

While preparing for the big event, a handsome town resident catches her eye. Leonard is kind, charming, and a little bit mysterious. He’s also suffering from a highly unusual condition brought on by an ancient fairy curse.

The word cute applies to this series. Which is why I’m not crazy about it. It is predictable, which makes for a relaxing audio book. And the performances are actually pretty good.

This is a nice start to a series. There were a couple of story jumps that were confusing (times & places moved without understanding how much or how far) , but it didn’t detract from a cute story. And, yes, I’ll get book 2.

The performances are very good, so much so that I can’t help but believe Audible is the only way to take in this work. It is as much radio as prose.

Frankie Elkin is an average middle-aged woman, a recovering alcoholic with more regrets than belongings. But she spends her life doing what no one else will - searching for missing people the world has stopped looking for. When the police have given up, when the public no longer remembers, when the media has never paid attention, Frankie starts looking. A new case brings her to Mattapan, a Boston neighborhood with a rough reputation. She is searching for Angelique Badeau, a Haitian teenager who vanished from her high school months earlier.

Others may disagree, but I didn’t see this end at all. Very much worth a listen just to see what you think about it.

Falsely advertised as a paranormal investigator, Tempest Michaels has a serial killing vampire to track down and a poltergeist to catch...because he’s staked his reputation on proving none of it is real. Helped by disillusioned cop, Amanda Harper, the duo is not only pitted against a brotherhood of vampire wannabes, but also a desperately ticking clock when one of his friends is taken. He’s got all the help he could need and more, though, as his friends, his mum, and his dogs are pitching in!

Reviewed: 11-17-22
I believe Peter Fullagar sapped out every exciting element with British Wasp nonchalance. It’s a gift. As far at the books themselves…I liked that every other paragraph wasn’t a complete sexual act, however I could do with fewer Mr. Wriggly references. I like the time date reference, but feel it would be a stronger audio book with that in the chapter title. I enjoy the concept Higgs was shooting for…but ultimately it’s just a private eyes with no Noir….it needs Noir.
