Fifth Grave Past the Light by Darynda Jones

5.0

Darynda Jones' writing with Lorelei King's narration is a great combination. Jones knows how to mix mystery, danger, pathos and humor in just the right balance. The story kept me on my toes with the mystery. The description of the victims was particularly heart wrenching, and a scene towards the end had me a little teary eyed. Charley's witty commentary, especially as delivered by King, is the icing on the cake. After having listened to a lot of lackluster audiobooks over the years, I really appreciate how perfectly King reads the story in terms of pace, emotional punch, and comic timing. She completely nails it.
