Amazingly great

I didn’t know they would all be tied together throughout the 5 books, they were all great and born and raised in Seattle it made it fun knowing where all these places were!

Interesting

I enjoyed listening to these 5 books while painting a house and then a 2 day drive. The twists and turns keep you listening thinking you’ve got it figured out. This set I will enjoy listening to again. I did also like the use of male and female voices to bring the story to life.

Good set of thrillers

This box set contains five emerald city thrillers.
The Recipient: A serial killer is given the death penalty. When more victims arise, questions arise as to who the copycat could be. Meanwhile, a woman’s husband who received a brain transplant starts acting strangely. Could there be a connection between the two?
Inspired by Murder: An aspiring author wants to write a book about murder but needs to experience it to get the right inspiration.
The Summer Nanny: A short story where a babysitter gets caught up in a jewellery heist and murder, which is also linked to her past.
Viable Hostage: When a college girl goes missing, no-one believes anything strange occurred given her past, except her best friend who uncovers strange things as searches for the truth.
Fatal Deception: A detective recovering from her brother’s murder goes undercover to solve a murder associated with a cult.
Overall, the books were entertaining and well thought out. Some were a bit too short to fully connect with the characters but overall were enjoyable. The narrators were really good and performed with passion and energy.
Note: This book was given to me for free at my request and I have left this objective review voluntarily.

Emerald City Thrillers 1-5

I read and enjoyed the whole series! Tess is a force to be reconed with,despite her losses. It took some getting used to ,the 2 or 3 narrator thing. Marcio Catalano, Veronica Pace and Patrick Zeller were all good narrators.I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review
