The best thing is that I get to see the characters as they improve in clarity and presence as well as listen to Bernadette Dunne narrator settle into the roles of the characters as the series progresses.
This is first in series and we get to meet all the main characters for the first time. I had started with the one after this, and while it did well enough as a stand alone, I wanted to begin at the beginning. The plot is well drawn and the conclusion is startling but it's the characters that really drive the story! Especially when it appears that another case might be involved. Loved it!

Fun first novel
- Looking for a new series to listen to. I enjoyed the book and the narrator. The characters have some depth and the narrator was excellent in making each one have a distinct voice. Some questionable police procedures but it is fiction and on a whole I am looking forward to reading and listening to more books in this series.
