DON'T GO HOME Death on Demand, Book 25

Narrator Kate Reading treats listeners to a guided tour of a South Carolina resort town. She beautifully voices each of a large cast of characters, focusing more on their personality traits than their accents. Her most notable portrayal is initially off-putting, but listeners soon recognize that she has nailed the town's whiny, arrogant, and wealthy mama's boy. Protagonist Annie Darling, owner of the Death on Demand bookstore, must break a promise to her husband when noted author Alex Griffith returns to his hometown, only to be murdered. Annie dives into the investigation when a good friend lands on the suspect list. Reading's narration underscores the author's superb character development in a story mystery lovers are sure to enjoy.
