Audiobook (All of my entries on The Story Graph are audiobooks.)
#12 in series (I started reading this series on Kindle in October 2016 and I have been committed to this series since March 2021.)
Will I read other installments? Yes, I am committed to this series and I guess I'm accustomed to it.
Comparison to others in series:Not as good About the same Better
This volume was slightly better than the last. I still listened at advanced speed (1.25), and I still rolled my eyes at Aimee's stunts. There was a bit of emotion at the end with a big decision from one of the characters. There was also more information about Aimee's mother.
The narrator was Rebecca Gibel. This is a change of narrator. I know Ms. Gibel's work from the Coffeehouse Mystery Series and other readings. Her voice is familiar and at times I imagined characters from the other books (i.e. her old lady).
