About this listen

The new Sissy Sawyer adventure - The discovery of a murdered office worker in the elevator of a condemned building sets in motion a chain of events that will make the streets of Cincinnati run with blood.

Police artist Molly and her alternative, chain-smoking, fortune-telling mother-in-law, Sissy Sawyer, become inextricably involved. Sissys tarot cards seem to be offering her clues, if only she can decipher them in time....

Editor reviews

Fans of the Sissy Sawyer series can't pass up this adventure. When an office worker is found murdered in an elevator, psychic Sissy Sawyer gets involved. This time, Sissy's police artist daughter-in-law, Molly, finds herself entangled as well. Performer Liza Ross has found a home with the Sissy Sawyer series. Her warm, mature voice suits the narration pitch-perfectly. Meanwhile, she breathes life into these characters through their fantastic voices. Her natural pacing makes the mystery a cinch to follow. Fans of female-driven mysteries with a side of fortune telling will find this audiobook in the cards.

So, I am a little obsessed over Sissy's daughter in law and her grandchild but who can blame me when in book 1 they were called Jean & Jake and now they are Molly & Victoria and this is NOT because Sissy has 2 sons, it's because Graham Masterton is apparently too lazy to remember his characters... But that aside, I did enjoy this story it was pretty original if not groundbreaking but let's face it, what ground is there to break these days?

Jean and Jake become Molly and Victoria

I really enjoyed this latest audiobook in the Sissy Sawyer series. Okay, this one was a bit more far fetched than audiobook one, but what should you expect from a series based on the supernatural.

Like others have mentioned Graham Masterton has made some errors in this book, getting the names of some of the key players wrong.

It’s a shame as it’s not what you’d expect from a writer as good as Graham is.

All that aside, the audiobook is well worth listening to in particular for the excellent narration. Once again, Liza Ross is the star of the audiobook. In my opinion she has to be one of the best narrators I’ve come across to date.

An Enjoyable if Far Fetched Audiobook With Excellent Narration
