Critiques

Sweet little mystery


(4 stars)

this was an enjoyable little mystery featuring likeable characters in a charming setting. though set in a convent, there was no religious content. instead it was lively, light and not too difficult to solve around 80% into the story. the reader was ok- several mispronounced words but otherwise good.

Great story - excellent reading!


(5 stars)

The summary covers the plot. The book is written in a style as to keep you unsure of who the murderer is until the end. You, the listener, must solve the case. The reader did an excellent job. The recordings were perfect. Enjoy!

Good Mystery, Well Read
