Good story, abrasive narrator

The story was a nice little mystery, with a paranormal touch. However, the narration hurt. Some of the voices were just grating.

Annoying delivery

The story was okay, not great. I'm sorry to say that the reader had an annoying voice. My impression was that reader was trying too hard to get into character and her voice screeched. I am not a fan of ghost stories, and this was definitely a story about ghosts (or spirits). That probably affected my review. Perhaps a woman in her 20's would have enjoyed.

Adequate paranormal mystery; marginal narration

Disclosure: free copy received in exchange for review.

Story rating 3.5; not 4 (could not give 1/2-star rating)

Although not my first paranormal mystery, this was not as tightly plotted as I prefer, with some twists telegraphed early (although the biggest twist was nearly concealed until an appropriate time). It filled a four-hour drive adequately, although I may not actively seek out any subsequent installments.

As for the narrator, I found it difficult to distinguish several sets of character voices from each other. In addition, more than one female character was voiced artificially high and squeaky.

entertaining

What a twisted greedy person. Suspenseful and intriguing. I enjoyed it. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a good job.

Good book

Love short stories. Constance Barker has a way with keeping you want to read more. Now to start the next one.

Cute mystery, narration not so much!

A Sinister Slice of Murder
A Jessie Delacroix Murder Mystery
By: Constance Barker, A.J. DeBellis
Narrated by: Angel Clark
This book I received from freeaudiblecodes and the review is voluntary. This is book one in the series and it has a cute mystery and I think it mostly is to introduce the characters too. The main character seems a bit hot headed at the beginning and then moves back home to run a B&B because the staff is upset because of the ghosts. We find it's the balls mom and grandma who play a big role in the book. She also has a beagle pup who also has a big part.
One of the patrons dies during a seance at the B&B. His head is cut off but in a way not to leave blood. Also the head is missing!
Her grandma keeps possessing the poor dog so she can leave the residence to look for clues as our gal walks him. It's really a fairly good story but the narration is pretty poor. No matter the voice, it is just wrong. This would be better as a book unless the author gets a different narrator.
Overall, A fair mystery, a cute dog, some interesting characters. Poor narration.

Spooky

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Spirits, a seance, and a gruesome murder. 3 things I always thought would go well together lol. I personally never really believed in spirits but grandma is soo funny!
Arther the beagle plays a integral part the murder case busts wide open! And goodness it’s crazy good.

Loved it! :))))

Great story with some interesting twists. The characters were fun and likable. Narrator did a great job. Looking forward to more by this author and narrator.

Excellent

Jessie inherited a bed and breakfast place, wanting a quiet life after the hustle of her job in Savannah. She didn’t count on the ghosts that Iinhabit this place,then murder the next day or was it a prank.
Enjoyed as I have her other stories I have read.

Great story

it took me a while to get into the story but then I really enjoyed it. I did not enjoy the narrator. It reminded me of anime- very chirppy and clippy.
