Silly me, I thought this was going to have something to do with Antarctica. I guess I should have read the description before I started.

I really tried to like this audiobook. It reminds me of other stories that are kind of over the top and they have fun narration but this one just kind of missed the mark for me on every count. The story and the narration just lacked the charm that I’ve grown to love by others. ...more

I thought that the premise sounded interesting, I lik2 Stars for The Handyman Method (audiobook) Nick Cutter and Andrew Sullivan read by Corey Brill.
I thought that the premise sounded interesting, I like home renovation stories. I remodel homes for a living. I think if it’s done well it can add a lot to the book, but so much of that part of the story was off. But horror part of the story revolves around a YouTube channel. That’s new and interesting, I love YouTube. But that got kind of weird and drifted off and ultimately it’s all the wife’s fault? I don’t know, the ending felt like a train went off the rails and it was desperately looking for a place to stop. ...more

Things seem to get more complicated as Detective Beaumont investigates the homicide of a high school coach. It’s fun to jump back in time before cellphones and computers. Back when detectives had to go places and talk to people. I think I saw that this was set in 1986, It’ll be interesting to see if this series makes it into the 90’s when technology starts taking over. ...more
