This is a must read. It has one not wanting to put the book down. Andy Carmichael is the main character, and when you think you figured things out , another twist and a drawing of one into the story.

Narration was too monotone..
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
No, it was tiresome.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Mirron Willis?
I enjoyed the narration of Yellow Crocus much more..
Any additional comments?
Couldn't last 2 chapters into it..
