My three main issues with this story are 1) the highly irritating characters, 2) the seemingly random religious themes, and 3) the flippant way body image is approached.
I normally don't feel it appropriate to rate or review something I have not finished, but given that I made it 84% through before being unable to continue and also given the fact that the three issues named above seemed highly unlikely to change in the final 16%, I made an exception for this title.
The writing itself was not the worst I've heard and I can understand how cozy mystery fans with strong Christian beliefs could enjoy this. Therefore, that is the population of readers/listeners I would recommend this book to.
Narration review: Caroline Miller gave an incredibly expressive performance. Her narration is the furthest thing from monotonous I've ever heard. I'm saddened that my first experience with her narration occurred simultaneously with a story that I did not enjoy. However, her narration itself was much more enjoyable than the story. I plan on checking out another of her performances in order to more properly evaluate her talent as a narrator, which I suspect I will love. ♣︎
➜ This audiobook was graciously gifted to me by its narrator, Caroline Miller, in exchange for a review containing my honest thoughts and opinions. Thanks, Caroline!
