Interesting story

I’m a bit torn about this book; I want to like it and I really should as it has all the elements I enjoy in a story, A witty female protagonist, a well meaning elderly couple and family interfering , a number of sidekicks, drama, some action, some romance and a good story.
It’s all there and I don’t dislike it, but it didn’t quite hit the mark.

I didn’t bond with the characters and therefore when DD McGill, the main protagonist, got into scrapes and dodgy situations, as well as heart warming moments, I should have been eager to see the outcome, and while I still wanted to know what happens, it wasn’t with bated breath.

Part of me wonders if a female narrator would have made a difference for me. I cannot find a fault with Adam Blanford’s enunciation or speed of reading and he has a very pleasant voice, but there was a certain lack of intensity of emotion that would be evident in a woman’s voice.

While this does sound quite negative, the story itself was interesting and it was engaging enough for me to want to find out how it ends.

I received this book in audio book format free from the author and am leaving this review of my own volition.
