Yes, the book was very enjoyable. Kept you guessing, A good "Who Done It".

What does Gayle Hendrix bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Gayle Hendrix does a good job w/ the accents of the characters from the South. Makes you feel like you are there.

Found this book predictable and dull. The Southerners in the book are stereotypical racist and stupid. The Northern educated relative visits and 'puts everyone in their place'. Characters lack dimension and common sense. Knew ending a third of the way in.

Blah and Dated

The reader is engaging, but the production/editing is a bit odd, as if somebody just scissored out six inches of tape here and there to speed things up. I thought it might be an amateurish abridgement, but this is supposedly unabridged. It sounds from time to time as if it's being cut off suddenly at the start of a word, then abruptly picks up (with a bit of a pop) on a different word. I suspect it's just bad splicing, although surely this is all digital now and this could have been corrected.

Oh, and the story is okay but nothing particularly original, IMO.

Oddly choppy transitions

In the beginning, with the down home country accents & all the family stuff, I did not think I could listen to it. But the reader made the accent just right & the story moved along quite well. I will say I enjoyed the story. Not great literature, but pleasant to listen to.

I thought the reader did an excellent job and I will listen to her again.
