I was delighted to find out after finishing the first book, that there would be an audio version of this book. I downloaded the ebook right away, but then decided to wait for the finished audio after all, since Janelle Tedesco had done such a great job with the first book.

I was not disappointed. Not only is the content of this book as engrossing as that of the first one, but Janelle lived up to my expectations. Again, she did a great job at bringing the characters to life. I don't know how she does it, but each character from the first book was instantly recognizable here. The speech impediment of Audrey's dad was again done extremely well, which is no mean feat! And yet, you aren't really aware that there is a narrator; it simply feels as if the various people are talking.

On the surface, this is a mystery story, but there is so much more in it: social criticism, and strong female characters, as well as lovable male characters. I already know that I'm going to miss them until the third volume will be available as audio book in spring 2017! I feel as if I know all the people. I guess that is because they talk and act so 'normal', for lack of a better word, even if the things happening to them are far from my own level of experience, but I totally buy into the story because of the language used here.


If you're on the lookout for a good, well written, convincing story, do yourself a favour and listen to this series.

This audio book was given to me by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost.
I'm happy to review it and to share my enjoyment of it with the world at large. ( )
