Just finished listening to this book.
Story line: 7 + This is due to several unexplained jumps in deductions, and a predictable ending. (but it was interesting to see just how the guilty person was revealed)
Audio Quality: 10 + Yes! a book without all those recaps, promotions, and intro music at deafening levels. To say the least it was a pleasure to listen to a book without having to adjust the volume whenever an episode started or ended because of the music level or somebody screaming about the book they wrote

Very good book BUT.. Some of the story jumps are rough. I kept back tracking because I was sure I missed something. And the narrator mispronounces some of the words… minor issues from a perfectionist.

Overall, well worth listening to. The chapters are short, but without the standard lead-in the next chapter picks right back up seemlessly.

Evo, did this just finish up or is it showing up as complete because you suspended it? If it is finished, I guess your message/suspension made the difference! Thanks!
