3.5 stars OK Series

Mostly enjoyable mystery series. All three, including the novella prequel, have well developed plots, interesting characters, and satisfying conclusions. Mac MacRyan is a smart, young detective that uses his mind more than his braun to solve mysteries. The interplay among him and the three detectives on his team is light yet serious when necessary. The stories have the required supportive boss with the supportive political hierarchy above him. The plots are involved but not so complex as to confuse the reader.

I'm going for the next in the series.

The issue I found distracting was the great deal of descriptive explanation or background interspersed by often repetitive narrative.It made me feel that the story was being told to me rather than the characters playing their part of the story.

Johnny Peppers was very good with the delivery of the story

Entertaining Stories, Not so entertaining Narrator

If only the narrator was as talented as the author! I would love to read the series on my own or hear it performed by The CJ Washburn Series narrator!

Fair

Good plot and story but dialogue is very weak. Characters very one-dimensional. Narrator is decent. Great detail on Minnesota.

excellent listen

after listening to all 3 books, I'm hooked on these stories. despite then having a police procedural story frame, I still find myself not getting knowing " who done it" until the part where Mac figures it out. Even then the story is engaging enough that I still want to hear how they got to the perp. check it out if you like crime books

Awesome books! Awesome deal!

What made the experience of listening to First Deadly Conspiracy - Box Set the most enjoyable?

The stories are just so good. I read them all but couldn't resist when I saw this deal on audible.

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

Not the best narration but it didn't ruin the story for me.

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

Not one moment in particular. Just love the way Mac thinks his way through the crimes.

Midwestern Southern Accent?

What did you love best about First Deadly Conspiracy - Box Set?

Enjoyed the stories-all three of them. Definitely worth the credit!

What does Johnny Peppers bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

He has a heavy southern accent, which doesn't mesh with the Midwestern setting. But he did a good job.

Any additional comments?

This set is a great purchase.
