I was given a free copy of this audiobook at my own request, and voluntarily leave this review.
Yes, I know this book is older than I am, but I’m listening to it now.
So my review is not based on the time it was written for, but rather based my review on the story itself.
3 Blue Roses
1 Blue Flames
Listening to this felt like watching The Murdoch Mysteries. Pointless, but it kills time.
Narrator Shawn Compton has a beautiful smokey voice and his almost perfect performance could not rescue the boring PI’s.
The prologue warns us 100%, this book was written in the 1970’s.
Thank you for the warning!
Why didn’t you warn us about the danger of falling asleep while walking upright?
These characters are so innocent, they can barely listen to a voice recording of the victim describing his sex life and naming the woman he had.
I know this is how they talked in the 1970’s, but there is way too much black this and white that for me to enjoy it. Secondly, we hear about a sex tape, hear about murders and hear about the investigation.
Lots of talking!
The character development is non existent, no internal struggles, no emotional connections.
If you are into racist, superficial and plain dumb characters with a predictable plot, then you want to listen to this for the sake of research.
How not to write a book in the year 2020.
Happy Listening
