Anne Frasier DoesIt Again - Only Beter

Reviewed: 07-16-16

What made the experience of listening to The Body Reader the most enjoyable?

The story had me hooked from the very beginning. Don't start this at night. Just five more minutes turns into hours.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Body Reader?

The entire story is memorable. Any one moment would spoil the outcome.

Have you listened to any of Emily Sutton-Smith’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I haven't listened to Emily Sutton-Smith before, but I have listened to all of Anne's previous books. Emily is the best reader so far.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Psychological thriller. I picture someone like Jennifer Lawrence playing Jude.

Any additional comments?

My favorite Anne Frasier book (so far). Hopefully, this will be a series.

The Fun Continues

Reviewed: 06-16-14

What did you love best about Pistols & Pies: Sweet Bites, Book 2?

The characters are fun and likeable. The story doesn't have the usual absurd twists that seem to be cropping up lately.

What other book might you compare Pistols & Pies: Sweet Bites, Book 2 to and why?

Several years ago I started a food themed series. I think the author was Diane Mott Davidson. As the series progressed, the supporting characters were muddled. I hope this series keeps the same focus.

Which character – as performed by Pamela Almand (The Captain's Voice) – was your favorite?

Of course the heroine is my favorite but I would like to see more of the paramedic.

Any additional comments?

I look forward to continuing the series.

Good Beginning to a Fun, Lite Mystery Series

Reviewed: 06-11-14

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

I would recommend this book to a friend. It is a "fun listen."

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

I wouldn't change anything so far. Can't wait to see where it leads.

What about Pamela Almand’s performance did you like?

Terrific narration. Perfect voice for the subject.

Could you see Brownies & Betrayal being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

I like the blond from Drop Dead Diva for Tess,

Any additional comments?

I am looking forward to listening to more in the series. I have already downloaded the second book.

Terrific Series - Just Keeps Getting Better.

Reviewed: 06-05-14

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would recommend the first four books of the series. If a series can keep me interested through four books I will definitely recommend it.

What other book might you compare The Advocate's Dilemma to and why?

I would compare them to the earlier books of Patricia Cornwell. Teresa Burrell's characters are interesting and likeable. I hope she can keep it up. I wore out on Cornwell's characters and started to dislike the whole group.

Have you listened to any of Laurel Schroeder’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Only in the Advocate series.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Each book in the series is better than the last. The investigator's "isms" make me laugh.

I Am Hooked on this Series.

Would you listen to The Advocate's Conviction again? Why?

As with most mystery/thrillers it probably doesn't warrant a second listen. I am ready for the next one in the series.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

I listened to the entire recording in a 24 hour period.

Which scene was your favorite?

The interactions between Sabre, Bob and JP are fun.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I felt sorry for Mama T.

Any additional comments?

The series involves the Juvenile Court system. It's a bit of fresh air from the barrage of legal thrillers and courtroom dramas.

Second Book in the Series - Better Than the First

Reviewed: 05-25-14

If you could sum up The Advocate's Betrayal in three words, what would they be?

Non-stop thriller.

What did you like best about this story?

I liked the first book, but this one (Book 2) was even better.

Have you listened to any of Meghan Kelly’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I think Meghan Kelly did a better job with the narration - especially the voices.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Use the title - it fits.

Any additional comments?

Towards the end of the book I had a feeling how it was going to end. I was right, but the presentation was perfect.

What an experience - inspirational!

Reviewed: 04-27-14

Would you try another book from Alice Honeywell and Bobbi Montgomery and/or Rosemary Benson?

If Alice and Bobbi write the book for the proposed north south trip I would like to listen to it. Hopefully Rosemary will narrate this one too.

Which scene was your favorite?

Not just once scene. I enjoyed listening to their entire trip - especially their separate thoughts at the end.

Was Across America by Bicycle worth the listening time?

Yes. I finished it in two days. I see that another reviewer said the book was boring and that he/she kept waiting for something to happen. This was a book about a life experience, not CSI or Fifty Shades of Gray. This is a story about two wonderful women in their 50s who plan a trip for two years and then ride 3,600 miles across the U.S. in 90 days. Thank you Alice and Bobbi for sharing your story.

Any additional comments?

I really liked the narrator, Rosemary Benson. I plan to look for other books narrated by her.

Present day old-fashioned mystery.

What a refreshing change! No dismembered bodies, no strange poisons, no vampires and no dystopia. Deadmistress is just a good old-fashioned who done it.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Deadmistress?

When I realized that the heroine was likeable and smart.

Which character – as performed by Barbara Benjamin-Creel – was your favorite?

Susan Lombardi.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I liked this new detective and hope there will be more in the series.
