Enjoyed the psychological aspect. Others have complained about this author, and though I enjoyed the first narrator in a variety of books, I find that when there is a narrator change in a series that if I listen to a palette cleanser, I can get into the story without issue. This narrator actually takes on a variety of accents much better than the previous narrator. Look forward to the next book!

Another terrific story!

I've really enjoyed this series of books, but I liked the previous narrator better. But, maybe she will grow in me. I intend to continue listening through audible because these books are so well written.

Great content, didn't really enjoy the narrator

I read one review that indicated he/she would not have continued listening if Ms. Suzanne Torren (sp?) was the narrator from the beginning; however, I so wholeheartedly disagree—Callie B. is indeed a very good narrator as I’ve sought out her narrations because of her talent. But, her cadence was much, much too harsh for every character in this series, especially for Sarah Brandt’s voice, a very caring, sweet and nurturing soul. Suzanne T. got every character’s nuanced personality absolutely correct except perhaps for Frank Malloy, wherein I know it’s very difficult for a very feminine voiced narrator to mimic a strong, very masculine male voice without making him sound angry all the time. I thought the plot twists were expertly designed, the ending well orchestrated, and the narration excellent. Bravo for Sarah and Frank!!!

Great Storyline and Much Better Narration

I love this series and really loved the first voice narrator however, this new one is almost impossible to listen to. I don’t want to spend money buying the book to read since these are free with my membership and i want to finish the series!

Great story but hate the narrator

So glad to have the mystery of Tom’s death solved. But what a complicated journey to find out!

Now on to the next!

Great

There is no need to read Books 1 though 9 in order to follow the mystery of who killed Dr Brandt, this book stands alone in that way, however if you do read the books in order presumably you will be extra interested in finding out the answer because you will be more emotionally invested in Sarah and her story.

Ironically, this installment didn’t focus on Frank and Sarah as much as previous books despite the fact that the plot was Frank’s investigation into Sarah’s husband’s death – it focused a lot on Maeve and her adventures and I like the person she is turning into - I wonder if Iris will become a reoccurring character?

Now that I know whodunit and why, I think it’s time to take a break from the series and stop neglecting the rest of my library! (I ploughed through 6 volumes in a row!)

I do look forward to continuing the series eventually and finally discovering how Frank and Sarah will ultimately hook up!

We finally got the answer!!! It’s about time.

Would you listen to Murder on Bank Street again? Why?

Yes, I love this series & in time would read it. I wouldn't listen to it. I thought the narration was horrible.

What did you like best about this story?

The characters in this series are fun, with good depth, & a little nerve racking. Those traits make for a good story.

What didn’t you like about Suzanne Toren’s performance?

It was too slow. Her diction was weird. I listen to a lot of audio books and this was one of the worst narrations I heard. I read all the books in this series up to this one because all but one weren't offered on Audible. I have fallen in love with this series and I hope to listen to the rest but if they are all like this I will probably read them instead.

I love this Series
