STALKING SUSAN

Author:  Julie Kramer
Genre:  Mystery, Riley Spartz Series #1
Published:  2008
Personal Rating:  3.5/5 (good)
Format/Narrator:  Audiobook/
Bernadette Dunne
Yearly Count:  88


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.
