Audible version: I started out liking this more than I ended up. While we were summer-birding at the lake in Michigan and had plenty else to do, it took me over a month to finish this book as I was never much inclined to pick it up. I didn’t find any humor in this one and there also wasn’t a community of people to get to know that helps weave one’s emotions into a story. It is the first in a new series and Malliet has a good enough track record in my book that I’ll give the second one in the series a shot. I wasn’t much impressed with the narrator of this one either. Her voices were strained and weird sounding. The more I go on the more I’m thinking I should give this one two stars, so I better sign off. On to the next audible experience!
