Publisher's Summary
Avery Shaw is having a bad week. First, she had to cover a story on a barricaded gunman who likes to dance naked in his window. Second, she's receiving death threats with her morning newspaper. Lastly, and most importantly, her mom keeps vetoing her outfit choices. It's all in a day's work for this hardworking, if easily distracted, reporter. Avery Shaw is hot on the trail of the story, even if it means tangling with her hot ex-boyfriend - the county sheriff - and the equally hot, if slightly shadier pawnshop owner down the street. Getting the story is going to be totally worth it - that is if Avery can survive the week.

Why?
What disappointed you about Who, What, Where, When, Die?
What didn't? Immature, shallow, strident, screechy lead character with anger management issues and no redeeming qualities. Her best friend has a tiff with the future mother-in-law, so the girls (not women, these are middle-schoolers) vandalize the car with shaving cream, rotten eggs, etc. Then there's the fixation on male body parts and sex. The two lead men are hunky, of course. They have no personalities. They are just meat. This had Stephanie Plum potential, but it misses by a mile.
What was most disappointing about Amanda M. Lee’s story?
There was a story?
What didn’t you like about Angel Clark’s performance?
Irritating high-pitched voice often wandered into nails-on-blackboard territory. Perfect match for the character, so perhaps it was intentional.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Who, What, Where, When, Die?
Not enough space here.
Any additional comments?
Formulaic with flat characters. There were obvious futile attempts at humor. The best joke in the book was unintentional; the lead character described "gossiping about politics..." I would be stunned if any character in the book could identify a single elected official. I don't set the bar high for these types of books. They do not aspire to be much more than a quick, escapist read while waiting at the doctor's office or the airport. Believe me, I did not expect great literature, but I did expect the story to be fun. This was just annoying and a waste of my time.

Lots of Silly Humor, Not Much Plot
I have to admit I have never liked characters who think saying smart alecky things passes for humor or wit. Like Stephanie Plum. So this was an uneasy fit for me.
Unbelievable characters, no plot to speak of. I'm sure that many may enjoy this book. It just wasn't for me.
Narrator had one irritating voice but the rest of the narration was fine.

Chick lit not a true mystery
The main character is an immature teen who thinks vandalizing a car because it's owner thinks her son's fiancé isn't good enough for him who can't shut up about "hot bods" of her competing love interests while defending her choice of Star Wars need t-shirts as appropriate for a real reporter. I really wish Audible/Amazon would quit dumping thinly plotted romances into the mystery category because the is some really week plot that attempts to provide a reason to get into a relationship with two competing male interests.

Childish, annoying main character
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
For me, it was time well spent. I was looking for a short and mindless story. I definitely got that. It was not a challenging or particularly good story.
Would you recommend Who, What, Where, When, Die to your friends? Why or why not?
No. I had difficulty liking the main character, and there wasn't much story or character development.
Did Angel Clark do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?
I found her voice to be a little stilted but was not as opposed to it as some other reviewers

Not Interested in anymore Avery Shaw
Would you try another book from Amanda M. Lee and/or Angel Clark?
Actually the writing was not bad - especially for a new writer. The problem was the character - she had absolutely no redeeming qualities and I am not interested in learning what happens to her. In fact - it didn't seem as if Avery Shaw cared what happened to her.
How could the performance have been better?
She's not Lorilei King or Susan Ericksen but then few are.

Nice story, poor narration
The choppy narration really takes away from the storyline. The male "voice" becomes particularly irritating after a long listening session.

3rd Grade Reading Class
If you are over the age of 10 and have ever listened to or read any decent mystery, you will probably hate this book. The narration was one of the worst, no THE worst I have ever listened to. I really felt like I was in 3rd grade phonics class.

Not my kind of book
The reader did an excellent job, this is just not my kind of book. I like characters not solely consumed with sex Although it was more a mind fantasy than a blow by blow description, for which I was thankful.

Awful narration!
The person reading this book used no inflection, making Avery sound dry and flat. Ms. Clark reads like a tourist overly pronouncing words (writ---ten) while sucking a cough drop. The story is okay. Avery gets lost in her own irony.

Childish characters, immature actions
Characters are annoying, immature and unappealing. Author seems to think vandalism is just a cute game and that tossing in guns and masturbation makes the story gritty. It doesn't. It just makes a crappy story crappier.
