Reader ruined it for me.

As a local, it was really hard to hear the constant mispronunciation of several places in the book. I might have enjoyed it more reading it myself.
A little more research should be done on how to pronounce places, or it takes away any authenticity.

Enjoyed this book very much!

This is an entertaining story with a surprisingly good ending. Can’t wait to listen to book two in the series.

Average with a splash of difference

The author has come up with an interesting story which highlights the beauty and uniqueness of the San Juan Islands of Puget Sound. The characters are likable but the story moves along slowly. The main protagonist is a college student/aspiring reporter whose views and comments on the world are laughably stereotypical reporter. Overall the book is fairly interesting until the very end. Just when I thought the author would end with big real world irony the story turns gag-me-with-a-spoon sappy. Skip the two epilogues.

woah

I wonder how this series end,plot twist in the last 30 minutes like woah.

Slowly rolls along

The story is kind of boring at first but it gets you in the end. Not bad, but I fell asleep a couple times listening to this. Narrator is great, it may have been her voice that would put me to sleep, I found it soothing.
