Another Great Addition to the Series

This fifth installment of this Capitol City Murders series kept me entertained thanks in kind to both the authors and the narrator. The authors have once again provided us with an entertaining story and the narrator has brought it to life as only he can.

I received this audiobook and I am voluntarily leaving my honest review.

Baskerville Book Reviews

The writing for this series seems to finally be getting better. Not by much, mind you. The authors still felt the need to bring up how Interesting Protagonit’s lesbian friend is a lesbian. they managed to bring it up naturally in dialogue in book 4, so this is a regression, quality-wise.

I love Mysteries. They’re my flavorite types of stories to listen to and read, alongside thrillers. I’m not one to attempt to figure out the mystery, I prefer to let it unfold naturally. In this instance, it may as well have had a neon sign pointing towards the outcum. There was a twist I wasn’t able to put together, not that I was trying. I’d say it’s a much better mystery than book 4, at least.

Continuing the cumparison with book 4, book 4 it felt like it was in and out in no time. There wasn’t much to the mystery and the story was overall disappointing. Book 5 was mostly world-building and didn’t repeat a lot of the plot points that were getting annoying in the other books. It sucks that it took 5 books for the writing to (mostly) improve, but it does make my outlook on the future novels more bright.

The narration overall was alright. I got sick of him constantly saying “O” instead of “Zero” for numbers. O isn’t a number, I will never stop finding that insufferably annoying. I always get a chuckle out of him having to narrate Interesting Protagonist’s parents over the phone. He does those scenes so well, I forget it’s an audiobook in those moments.

It's personal this time

Nick is back on the road, heading to Boise, when his air conditioning goes out. Not a great way to start his week! Luckily there is a lot to see within walking distance of his hotel, including the capital, so he can still get work done while his car is in the shop.Of course there is another mystery for him but this time it is personal. A classmate of his in Boston, now living in Boise, has gone missing. He can't help but get involved, can he? I am enjoying this series of short books based in state capitals. Not only are they entertaining but they are educational, citing facts about the state and the capitol at the end. Looking forward to more of this series. Thanks to StoryOrigin for giving me a copy and introducing me to this series. I am hooked. Joseph L. Stevenson does a good job narrating this series. Sometimes there is not enough difference between characters but he sounds like Nick

4 1/2 stars of enjoyment.

Buried in Boise: Capital City Murders Book #5, my eighth read from author Troy Lambert. After reading Silenced in Salt Lake: Capital City Murders Book #11, my first read from author Troy Lambert, I wanted to read more in the series and this one doesn't disappoint. Joseph L. Stevenson's narration adds to the book's enjoyment. I look forward to reading more in this series & from this author. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).
