No Character to Like

Revisado: 10-05-24

The story is told from the perspectives of 6 characters, which I think is a bit much for any novel. That said, character development was good but there wasn’t a single character that I liked or was rooting for. About 2/3 through, it’s clear who the muderer is. So the rest of the book dragged for me. I almost stopped listening but powered through in the hope that it would get better or reveal some kind of surprise twist.

Creative Engaging Storytelling

Revisado: 06-14-24

This was my first JoJo Moyes novel and I found it very entertaining and engaging. The way she wove all the lose ends together was very crafty. I liked that it was a story about about a variety of women (primarily two) examining what life had thrown them and transforming into stronger characters through the journey. I also like that it made me laugh!

Not Your Average Mystery or Western!

Revisado: 04-02-24

Calico kept me intrigued! I bought it a few months before I listened to it so I’d forgotten the book description. That’s a great way to read it because there are more surprises that way!

Just as good the second time through

Revisado: 08-27-23

This was my favorite read of 2022! And not finding anything nearly as good in 2023, I’m reading it again! This is such a creative story! I’m looking forward to the Apple+ TV series later this year.

Love the characters!

Revisado: 05-12-23

When I first started listening, I almost return this audiobook. The narration is really odd. The character voices are good, but the part between, sounds like a simulated voice. But I must have gotten used to it. I’ve listen to three out of five in the box set. I’ve really grown to enjoy all of the characters. Being a native Californian, it bothers that they say Sequoia is in Northern California when it would be in central California, but beyond that, I find the story enjoyable. And the southern drawl for some of the characters is a bit silly for rural central California but if I didn’t live here I wouldn’t know that itis odd. So if you like cozy mysteries with a little bit of romance thrown in, stick with it, in spite of the narration.

Loved it so much I listened Twice!

Revisado: 02-24-23

I discovered this book over a year ago and found it thoroughly enjoyable! Parts of it were laugh-out-loud funny! I bought the next two installments in the Findlay Donovan series as they were released. When I finished book 3, I was sad that I’d need to wait a year for book 4. I decided to relisten to book 1 and was not disappointed by that decision! The narrator is fantastic and made the story even more enjoyable. If you like cozy mysteries with some wit and humor to them, you will like this series!

Odd Book But prose is Remarkable

Revisado: 03-27-22

Overall I liked this book. I mainly selected it because of its Pulitzer Prize winning status. I might have like it better if I’d read it instead of listened to it. The narrator speaks so very slowly I had to adjust to 1.2x speed (and it was still slow). I found the prose in the book often beautiful and always imaginative.
