I look forward to chatting with my daughter about this great story, and listening to it again. just think the narrator pushed it to far (which is on the narrator and not the book/story). I get that she was a teen with a teen attitude. It was easy enough to look past, and listen to the story itself and not the way it was read. I also didn't like how the main character was always portrayed to have an attitude ALL the time. After about 20-30 mins into the book she grew on me and I didn't mind her so much anymore.
First published in 2007, it won the 2007 Agatha Award. I did find the female narrator a bit annoying at first. A Fatal Grace is the second title in Louise Pennys Chief Inspector Armand Gamache cozy mystery series. I really like that even listening to it a 2nd time, Im hearing pieces & details I somehow missed the first time. Every now and then I grab one of her ear buds to see where she is so we can chat about it. She has sense started at the beginning and is loving the book as much as I did. My tween daughter started listening to the story while I was mind way though.
