This is only my second experience with an audible book.Story comment: It's a pretty typical murder mystery story with decent chaper endings that make you want to listen/ read on. The main character, a lawyer trying to get her cousin off a murder suspect list, is reasonably likable. It might have helped if I'd heart the other Jaime Quinn mysteries first, but it's all right stand alone too. Super short story though. I think a longer tale would have had time to flesh out the characters more, get into their heads a bit, give the reader a chance to wade through suspects. One complaint hard core murder mystery readers might come up with is that it feels like the conclusion's handed to the reader/listener on a silver platter without the conclusive proof to make a murder rap stick. Still, it's an enjoyable whodunit for those looking to pass an afternoon reading.Narrator comment: Some of the character voices were annoying, but they were only minor parts. She did an awesome job with the rest.Conclusion: The runtime is a little over 2 hours. Listening to a tale like this is a decent way to entertain oneself while ironing, doing a puzzle, doing laundry, or exercising. The author has a nice, straightforward way of describing things.
