Go with It
- This book should be a decent listen for the YA set, at least, for the older YA set. Preferably, though, the listener will not have spent too much time watching police procedurals. Most of the tension in this story comes from a lack of understanding as to how murder investigations are run. I won’t get into details, as that would mean providing spoilers. It was the secondary characters that were more sympathetic. I didn’t really care for either the female or male lead. Still, if you’re just going into this book for some edge-of-your-seat mystery action, this book is a good pick. The added benefit of having it read by two narrators was also a perfect casting call.
