My Review:
I did not hesitate to have the chance to listen to The Axe by Linda Griffin. It was a short tale but it was full of mystery and suspense. There were moments that made me a little confused as to where the author was going with this, but it all came together in end. I thought the characters were easy to like and I enjoyed getting to know them. The plot was fast paced that had me often guessing what could possibly happen from scene to scene. I had no difficulty listening to the whole book without having to hit the pause button. It was a great way to be entertained while having to deal with daily chores. Overall, a good thrilling ride that had me hooked from the start until the very end. I loved it.
The Axe is narrated by Eric Priessman. I enjoyed his voice while listening to this version of the book. I believe his performance was just what author needed to bring this story to life.
I found that The Axe to be a five plus star read. I highly recommend it for readers who enjoy reading and or listening to quick mystery and suspense. I would be interested in diving into more books from the talented Linda Griffin in the future.
I received an audio version of Linda Griffin's The Axe from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
