James, I am sorry you feel that my comment was racist or stereotypical. I can only say that this was not my intention at all and after I read your comment here, I promptly searched for what you may be referring to in my manuscript. I think it must be when Sam is looking over the yearbook pix for possible suspects and he refers to Buford Jackson as dumb but likeable and funny in class and was now most likely either a laborer with 10 kids or doing standup comedy at the Holiday Inn. My defense is this: a dumb, funny likeable WHITE person could easily have fit the bill for this description and I was only trying to show how Sam was mentally ruling out a person like Buford as the serial killer/rapist. If nothing else, I was NOT being racist or stereotypical since those of that ilk would immediately blame “the black guy” for a crime in a lineup along with white folks. So my honest intent was not how you perceived it and I can only apologize that it appeared that way and hope you now understand where I was truly coming from in that paragraph.

I was somewhat enjoying the podcast until that incredibly racist and stereotypical comment was made about a Black character. Very shameful. I will never listen to your podcasts again.

I liked evrything about this story except the abominal stereotyping of women and men. It was so bad that I had to stop listening part way through. Older, married man sleeps with younger, hot, slutty woman and the older married wife of the older man doesn’t want to sleep with a handsome, available man after she’s divorced from her cheating husband because she too nice a girl. Auggggg!!!!

This author seems to have a penchant for this particular story line.

Thanks for an enjoyable listen! The story was well written and performed. Its the kind of mystery where it’s the journey, not necessarily the destiantion that counts. We know “who done it”, but how and why were enough motivation to keep the story interesting. And personally, I appreciate when an author/narrator treads lighly on voice characterizations. The dialog was sufficient to keep the players sorted out for me – without those minnie mouse sounding female voices.

I thought the story was well put together. The twist with the villain was well thought out. I sort of knew who the last victim would be about part way through. Excellent podcast altogether. I can’t wait to see more. I will definitely pick up the book for my library.

I thought the story was good, nice murder suspense story. It was a bit predictable but still entertaining.

The narration was a bit fast I thought, the narrator didn’t have very good intonation between the characters. The book was a lot of dialog so a better way of distinguishing between the characters would have gone a long way towards make the book much more enjoyable.
