Riley Spartz is a TV reporter who gets tips from retired police officer, Nick Garnett. This time around Riley finds herself investigating decade old cases regarding murdered women named Susan.
I stumbled upon this series as I was browsing Amazon books and discovered that my library had the audio version, so I decided to give it a try. It didn't have much suspense or intriguing characters, but it still was a good audioread by giving us an inside peak into the world of a TV reporter. As in other books I have encountered, Riley and Nick play a game with movie lines - guessing the movie and year of the quoted one-liners. The game didn't woo me, but I can see how others might get a kick out of it. Ultimately, I thought it was a good debut (there are 5 in the series now) and plan to listen to more.
The movie line game sounds like fun. I'll have to give this one a listen.
ReplyDeleteStacybuckeye ~ Being that you love movies, I think the game would be a welcomed addition for you. It's not over-powering, it's done well. Enjoy!
DeleteWhat an exciting season for you and your Buckeyes!
I've been meaning to try this series - my sister went to college with the author!
ReplyDeleteMary ~ Oh! That's interesting! Has your sister read the books? I'm hoping I like the second one even more. :)
DeleteShe has been after me to read them for a long time. I think she's a fan :-)
DeleteDoesn't sound half bad. I totally enjoy my audio books!!
ReplyDeleteStaci ~ Audiobooks are one of the best ideas ever! :) I actually am looking forward to the second one in this series and hoping I enjoy it even more.
