Libby audiobook 6 hours
Narrated by: Jeremy Aurthur
Published: 2023
Genre: murder mystery
I enjoyed this far more than I anticipated. Lew is a country singer trying to make it big. But when his girlfriend breaks up with him and then seems to be involved with his manager, Lew fires Archie. Later, when Archie is found with his head encased in cement, Lew is naturally suspected.
The crazy cast of characters defies my description. I really liked Lewis a lot. He is indeed a gentleman, as are the members of his cowboy band. This story reminded me quite strongly of WE Fest, especially since this part of the story is set in Minnesota! At times, there were too many people to keep track of. Who was Moira?
The clues and especially Magda's brooch . . . kept me listening to find out how it all tied together. It was ironic that Ann-Dee's signature song was "Stand By Your Man."
The one thing I did not enjoy about this audiobook was the lack of differentiation when a flashback scene happened. I have to imagine that in print version, the font is different or there is some other visual to indicate that the characters are remembering past meetings. It was disconcerting to listen and think the storyline was continuing on only to realize that a memory back shift was happening!
