Publisher's summary

: Patricia DeLaney runs an uber successful catering business and bakery. She also hosts weekly book club meetings in her home. Her favorite topic? Mysteries. She adores a good mystery so when her husband Art, short for Arthur, comes home with a juicy story, Patricia is all too willing to sink her teeth into it. Art DeLaney is a retired police detective who runs a small private investigation business. With his contacts at the police department, he gets all the best tips and can easily sit around and shoot the bull with his old colleagues. Feeding Patricia’s need for information isn’t his first intent, but then, he never really knows he’s doing it. Can an amateur like Patricia possibly solve the classic who did it? Or will Art fall on his face with embarrassment when he takes her lead seriously?

AI narration is terrible

The story might be okay but the AI narration is awful and not easy to get through. It’s like listening to Siri read your book with odd inflections that no real narrator would use.
Probably my last AI narrated audio book.

Lack of development

Story wasn't developed very well. The characters were underdeveloped, and the suspect was introduced at the end. The writing style was good, but overall Storyline lacked detail.

AI Narration

Didn’t quite like the AI narration. The pronunciations were a bit askew, but overall the story was pretty interesting

Easy to follow! Great suspense.

Listened to this mystery as I completed my evening stroll. Strong characters, good suspense and plot twists.

AI Narration

AI narration make this an extremely difficult listen. Missing words, no inflection, poor translation of feelings.

Skip This One

AI voice could not tell the difference between “desert” and “dessert,” not to mention it was always the same voice, no matter who was speaking, male or female. Also, the story was not interesting.

Automated voice, ugh.

Automated voice makes dull, weak plots stand out even more poorly. Miss pronunciations produces active/passive verbage a distraction.
