lighthearted mysterious medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

2.0

I thought this had a very interesting premise because I've most certainly never come across a murder mystery set in the country music business before, but unfortunately, I don't feel that it lived up to expectations. Parts of the story felt very rushed whereas others dragged on. There were far too many characters to keep track of, all of whom were flat, and although this might be an easier task in the paperback version, the narrator kept slipping in and out of character accents in the audiobook which made it even more difficult to remember who was who and how they were all related to each other. The murderer was obvious from day one which made the rest of the story feel inevitable. Although the overall plot was interesting, I found it difficult to stay engaged.
