"I didn't pay attention to the length when I bought it-26 hours! I saw a clip of Ann Patchett talking about how few people had heard of it-how she thought that had to change. It worked-I took advantage of the quarterly annual(?) Audible sale-got it for a great price-immediately started listening, I'm 7 hrs in-so far it doesn't feel like it's dragging, glad I can listen@2x speed w/out it sounding bad-narration's great" — Aug 08, 2026 02:31AM

"Because I looked at the title and assumed it would be another too- cute -for- me cozy mystery, I wasn't sure about it but I finally started and I'm loving it -if anyone has read Linda Barnes Carlotta Carlisle series, I believe this has the same vibe , but even better writing! This is a great combo of a New York police procedural and an excellent amateur sleuth trope so far it's excellent" — Jun 14, 2026 01:35PM

"I decided to read a hardcopy instead of an audio on this one and it's going much better, I just like epistolary style in that format for this author" — Nov 05, 2024 08:40PM
