Miriam is the dumbest detective ever.

I struggled the whole way through, but my stubborn nature and commitment to finish what I start won out. The main character is a law enforcement officer with zero respect for the law. She fails to employ any patience, logic, strategy, or training. It is only by continually getting herself captured that she bumbles her way into finding anyone. If character development and authenticity are important to you, bypass this one.

Exciting all the way through!

it was exciting all the way through! not a minute without something happening. so good I wished a was one of the characters. Miriam made a lot of moves I would have slapped her for but she was a brave cop. Couldn't put it down. A terrific read.

Ridiculous!

I cannot believe they are even selling this here. I don’t want to go to harsh but how sad that this is even a choice on Amazon. Sounds like a story written by an eight grader. With lines like the Junkie coffee pot, it stuck to her like slime... ridiculous and unintelligent. I tried to give it a shot but by the second story I was cringing the reader sounded like she was reading a story to a bunch of first graders and was unsure of her next lines with all of her excitement in the wrong places.. almost joyful during what should have been described as a dangerous situation as well as using that pork chops and apple sauce pretend gangster voice Gregg Brady used years ago as one of the voices. I gave up I could not allow my ears to be abused any further.

Awful!

I have been using this as an accompaniment to barn cleaning. The writing is terrible, the stories predictable and interchangeable and the reading ... well if what you’re reading is this bad then i suppose it makes sense that almost every man sounds like a southerner and every foreigner like a Mexican with an Hungarian mother ... I had high school freshmen who could have turned this out and just barely gotten a passing grade.

AMAZING STORY

I loved the entire collect , all of them are very well written and hard to stop listening. At one point, I listen to the stories on a ten hour drive . The only thing that I was not so impressed with was the narrators. None of them did a good job of changing voices for different characters.

Terrible

Would you try another book from the authors and/or the narrators?

Every story in this anthology is basically the same. The female protagonists are poorly written and inconsistent. They do the same dumb things over and over yet in other scenes will appear smart with common sense.

Would you ever listen to anything by the authors again?

No

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Disappointment and frustration

Excellent

Great box set, have read the stories and enjoyed listening to them on audio. Good narration added to the stories. Well done, and great in a box set. Given audio for my voluntary review

Story dragged

The story could have been told in half the time. I struggled to finish. i feel i wasted my time

gripping

This boxset went by too fast! I loved every moment. If you want an edge of your seat boxset, this is for you

First two were great.... but

I enjoyed the first two stories and the narrators. However, when I got to the 3rd story, I found that he only acting the narrator knows is exclamation! I found it difficult to finish listening and stopped it. So I don’t know about the 4th story..
