Libby audiobook 8 hours
Read by: Coleen Marlo
Published: 2024
Genre: Murder mystery
I don't usually blog about books that I don't finish, but I don't want to accidentally get this book (or others by this author) in the future. I was 29% of the way through the book and no one is dead yet. The characters are not especially noteworthy or engaging. Here are my notes:
Darlene
small town gossip
Tim
LOTS of characters
Natalie - busybody
Lucy - reporter
Pam - Tim's mom
weird pronunciations! (The word thermometer sounded like "thermo - meet - er" . . . there were a few others that were just strange.)
It was so sad when Libby (the dog) died, but then Lucy is telling someone she was "just a dog." What?! Less than 24 hours after being so sad, she's dismissing the importance of the family pet. Then a little later, she mentions that Libby was her BEST friend.
What year is this set in?!
Weird anachronisms.
Basically, I decided not to invest any more time in a book that was bugging me so much. I felt sad for Tim and curious about what he was dealing with, but I didn't care enough to keep reading this.
