jscarpa14 's review for:

Agnes and the Hitman by Bob Mayer, Jennifer Crusie
4.0

So I listened to the audible version and I think it need to be said that whoever decided to make all the thoughts sound like they're coming from a far away tin can is a moron. I had to turn my Alexa way up or I had difficulty hearing the thoughts and then the rest of the narration seemed loud. It made the audiobook difficult to listen to and I almost gave up because of the loud quiet, clear and muffled roller coaster of narration.

Mostly I really enjoyed this novel Agnes is this naive sort of crazy which I really enjoyed. Bodies dropped regularly and I have to say I found that part pretty funny. There's something happening in every chapter and I really enjoyed this large cast of characters who were all distinctive and well developed. I would have like a more show rather than tell wrap up with the Brenda situation and I didn't really care for the way everyone seemed to exit off the page. I loved the story but I really would have appreciated an epilogue where we could find out what happened after.

While I don't recommend the audible version of the book, I definitely do recommend the book in general and look forward to more stories from this talented duo.
