well narrated, but more importantly, well-written installment. it has probably been over a decade since took my last trip to Riordan's San Antonio, and his detour into wildly popular (and also very good) teenage mythological fiction hasn't dulled his mystery-writing skills.

Tired has still got it

If you've been listening to this series thus far, one thing you will notice about this book is that it's about half the length. Personally I feel as this story isn't as up to par as the earlier books in the series. Again great performance by Tom Stechschulte.

Going downhill.

I enjoyed the plot in the narrative basically the story with the one exception of involving the little boy in the end of the story it had an interesting twist but it was a pretty dangerous thing to do. the performance was excellent as always and well worth to listen or read....

a fair book in the series

This whole series hits all the marks! Riordan has an amazing talent for immersing his readers in the environment and piecing together a very specific and notable feeling with his prose.
I expect nothing less from this guy, he's a pro. 👌

Another Banger!

This definitely needs an ensemble cast. The narrator is unable to change his voice enough to accommodate all the characters, leading to a bit of confusion. At least for me.

Meh

Would you try another book from Rick Riordan and/or Tom Stechschulte?

Sure - I've liked the others

What about Tom Stechschulte’s performance did you like?

As always, great voices, he really "feels" like Tres

Was Southtown worth the listening time?

Yes (tho it was shorter than his other books had been)

Not as good as previous in the series
