About this listen

"You have until Monday to find what's been taken. That's only seven days, so don't be mistaken."

When Tori Barlow is suddenly kidnapped, the police are only given seven days to find her. Misty joins in on the frantic search for her best friend, therefore endangering her life in the process. When more women start to disappear and strange things begin to happen, the quiet town of Shady Pines becomes a place filled with suspicion and fear. As moments tick by and Misty draws closer to the truth, danger lurks around every corner. When her father suddenly shows up on her doorstep, she is faced with yet more turmoil. Will she finally find all the answers to the questions in her life? And more importantly, will they find Tori before it's too late?

I really enjoyed the storyline, the characters and the narration. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series.

A really good murder mystery

The machine narration left much to be desired. You could forget that it was AI generated but you couldn’t forget it was certainly not the best. It is a shame because the story was great and the character development kept me interested from start to finish. Could have gone deeper but that is being picky because it was a good strong story

Outstanding story outshines machine narration

I think this book is my favorite of all the series. Kept me in suspense until the end. Didn’t mind that it was virtual narration. It was good regardless. Recommended!

Very good!

Even though this was virtual voice, it wasn’t bad. Change the voice speed to 1.25 and the narration was good. The storyline was entertaining as well.

Enjoyable

I love this series and I'm sad that it's the last in the series - I wouldn't call this a cozy - it's a murder mystery that is so well written - It would capture everyone from 13 to 100 years of age that enjoys murder mysteries and falls for it's characters. There is no smut, and no swearing and I don't usually seek out either, nor do I care when the story adds either - but WOW, the character development and intrigue had me listening to the entire series in 2 days -that's how much I enjoyed it!
Virtual voice - was the only down side to this amazing story. My problem with virtual voice is, some words are pronounced properly and sarcasm is totally lost in conversation - lastly expressions like "tomato / to-mat-toe" are lost on virtual voice.
We all know Misty Raven is hiding something in book one but as I followed Misty along, I wanted to be her friend and confidant. She's strong, independent, yet not overtly -
This is my favorite murder mystery series I've listen to this year - hope to see more from Jenny Elaine - I'm hoping for more contemporary murder mystery stories like this from Jenny Elaine - I'm sad the series is over

This title somewhat adequately wrapped up the series. I can't get over the AI narration, however.
So robotic and without emotion or character.

Interesting conclusion, but...

I have really enjoyed this series and the storyline; however the virtual reader is terrible. It’s missing the correct inflections and intonations that make an audio book enjoyable to listen to.

Good Story- Awful Virtual Reader

I tried to listen to this but a computer generated voice doesn’t work for me. I kept losing my place because its reading isn’t very expressive. A real person can act with their voice, varying tempo and sound level to enhance interest in the story in a way a computer voice can’t.

Don’t like a computer generated narrator
