Publisher's summary

A dead biker. A missing aspiring writer. A life changing decision. In the first in the series, A Deadly Course, married couple Emily and Henry Fox move to Vermont seeking covered bridges and antique shops but instead find themselves knee deep in a murder investigation. Can the sleuthing doctor and true crime writer use their skills to bring peace back to Sugarbury Falls?

Murder of Course is the second clever cozy in the Sugarbury Falls Mystery series set in Vermont. A midnight knock by their neighbor stirs Henry and Emily into action. Who is the mystery dead girl on the rental cabin floor? Can they help solve the crime before the murderer strikes again?

In book 3, Clearing the Course, the Fox family returns from vacation to discover the town mourning the death of a college student. When their daughter’s friend is accused of the murder, married sleuths Henry and Emily Fox set out to prove his innocence, but the more they dig, the more doubts they have. Can they clear the tangled course of the investigation and find the truth before it’s too late?

This would have been so much better if read by a human.

This is the 8th book I’ve tried with virtual voice, and it will be the last. The lack of emotion is off putting and the mispronunciations drive me nuts! Hearing the word ‘read’ pronounced as ‘reed’ instead of ’red’ throws everything off. And they can’t get the virtual to recognize common abbreviations like OR, so someone is rushed to the ‘or’ instead of to the O R. Someone dials ‘nine eleven’ instead of 9 1 1. Lack of inflection and pauses in strange places throw off the meaning of a sentence and you have to rewind and listen again.

Seemed like descent stories but I’ll have to see if I can borrow paper copes from the library.

Very immature writung

The story lines were alright but it seemed like a high school writing challenge. The writing was extremely predictable almost as if it was written by a child with phrases one would expect to hear in the given situation. This was narrated by AI but it was the worst AI I have heard. 911 spoken as 900 and 11, OBGYN sounded out as if read by a child along with many other inaccurate pronunciation. Editing was poor with multiple errors. For freenit was fine but not something I would recommend to a seasoned reader.

Good stories

The computer narration was hard to listen to. Hard to tell who was speaking at times.

Missing the human voice.

Virtual voice was poor at times with mispronunciation and poor infection making it hard to listen to in certain conversations.

No more AI

I almost didn’t listen because of the virtual read. Stuck it out and the story was good, but I’d rather have an actual person read

Virtual voice disrupts story flow

I tired to listen to these books and the flat tone and mistakes in word recognition made it not enjoyable at all. Also the story seems to need some review there are mistakes but more than the to many chapters begin with .. Emily bolted up in bed…Emily got out of bed…Emily laid in bed unable to sleep.

Several errors not caught by editing.

Virtual voice was terrible. Flat and did not read words like ER, Obgyn, 911, OR correctly. pauses were awkward.

The reading by an AI.

Bad story, awful narration. I don’t like the A I reader and the storyline was so predictable.
