Wonderful! Excellent for daily use in place of the Reuben Job Guide to Prayer series. The paperback version is a very tiny volume, with tiny text. I would appreciate a paper volume with larger text. I have it on my Kindle, though, so the text size is no issue there.
Listened to the audio version. The narrators were excellent and really added to the story.
Lots of fun, great plot, and very inventive. I look forward to the next one.
Great short story collection. I really prefer the full length novels so I can get more into the story, but these are great for short reads.
Great cozy read, good continuation of the series. I don't get the title at all, though. There was no crime in a café anywhere in the book.
Lots of grand fun, with interesting characters and storyline. It had a kind of The Three Musketeers vibe to it.
Did not finish. Audiobook version. The characters are wildly different in basic personality from what they were presented as in the first book of the series, and the new personalities are distinctly unlikeable. The narrator is awful. She finishes most words with a wet “pff” and it just really creeps me out.
Never a dull moment. Excellent story with lots of red herrings, and an ending that fooled me completely. Lots of fun.
Story was decent. The narrator's voice was just annoying to me, very lisping and seemed fake. I don't know how else to describe it.
Did not finish. I almost gave up the 2nd book, but decided to keep giving it a shot, due to the hype. 3rd book is more of the same. Too convoluted, characters I found boring, a “plot” that ran around all over the place, continual instances of hidden motives switching around the whole story, etc. And Caden – everything about him was just a series of short stories thrown together in a mish-mash. I just have to put it in the Did Not Finish pile.
It was ok. One plot sequence just went on and on and on, and I kept wondering if that part would end. I'll read the rest of the series, but so far it is not nearly as enjoyable as the author's Whimbrel House books.
