Review from The Golden Spoon →
Loved the concept of this one, but the combination of the endless monologue backstories and the downright awful narration for some characters made this tough to get through. I usually stick it out with audiobooks once I’ve paid for the credit but I found myself doing anything but listening to this and decided to move..

Maybe this just wasn’t my genre, but I found this story to be very predictable and the characters stereotypical.
couldn’t be bothered.inconsistent writing across charactersformulaic characters and plot pointstissue thin characters designed to suit the plot too perfectly.the voice artist speaking ‘Stella’ im sorry to say but no. just no. editors and techs are doing you a disservice not telling you that your pseudo mid atlantic over pronunciation is nauseatingly hard to hear. seasickness..

Excruciatingly painful. Trite plot, irritating narration by too many narrators and only a cursory knowledge of baking. What more could you not want?

As a fan of GBBO, you will catch all of the Lingo and references. The mystery part is just ok. I found a couple of the characters voices/cadence annoying. Having said all of that, it is a light and easy listen.
Review from A Cop and a Coop →
Flying into a rant again and again then expecting a “sorry, I didn’t mean it” to erase consequences is unrealistic. Why spend time with an accusatory insensitive main character?
Review from An Assassin in Utopia →
It was a really well done and fairly short historical summary of the assassination of President Garfield and from a bit of a different perspective. I would also suggest an excellent book on the same subject call Destiny of the Republic. It is much more detailed and a truly excellent book

I really enjoyed listening….until the end. There wasn’t enough umphf in the big reveal. I was hoping it was something more unexpected than it had been. Underwhelmed by the ending- which is the best part of a mystery. 🙁

I especially enjoy a generational tale. This one is woven together spectacularly! I highly recommend this work!

Great story even though I could see many of the twists coming a mile away it was still an enjoyable mystery
