Subject: Pretty good story and reading
Subject: Pretty good story and reading
Although the mystery and characters are complex in this AKG story, the details of the crime were highly unlikely. I figured it out fairly easily ahead of time, which usually doesn't happen with AKG stories. Carolin's reading was for the most part its usual good quality except for a much higher number of mispronounced words than usual. I had to look at the online text to figure out what a couple of the intended words were, but this little flaw did not hamper my enjoyment of the story; it was only a minor inconvenience. As usual, AKG's writing, plot, and characterization are so good that I'd recommend listening to this story even with the abovementioned caveats. Sweetwater makes another appearance too, for his first solo on-location assignment without Detective Gryce!
