A fun and enjoyable read

Would you listen to Murder and Mayhem again? Why?

Yes, there is so much to enjoy, from the performance to the numerous pop culture references throughout, I am definitely planning another read soon

What did you like best about this story?

The central relationship is appealing and I look forward to another story with Rook and Dante soon. I also loved all the pop culture/movie references throughout especially the continuing Princess Bride thread (one of my favourite movies!)

What does Greg Tremblay bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

He gives each character a distinctive voice and performs the humour well, making me laugh out loud several times.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I laughed a lot, figuring out the pop culture references was fun and made me laugh many times as did some of the deadpan humour from the characters themselves.

Story Telling At Its Best

If you could sum up Murder and Mayhem in three words, what would they be?

Action and Suspense!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Murder and Mayhem?

Rhys is such a brilliant author and the way she writes means that there are too many memorable moments and surprises.

Have you listened to any of Greg Tremblay’s other performances? How does this one compare?

Greg always delivers a brilliant narrative to every one of his performances.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Of course I did, but just not possible.

Any additional comments?

The combination of Rhys Ford's writing and Greg Tremblay's narration - what more can you ask for!

You won't regret it

Where does Murder and Mayhem rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This is one of my favourites by far. I'm a fan of Rhys Ford, although I've always had issues with one or more characters she's produced being a bit O.T.T. in their execution, but on this latest offering she's hit her stride and every single character is pitch perfect. The effort that's gone into every aspect of this book just shines from every page (well, I've 'read' the audio version but you know what I mean!) and this is not only one of my favourite audiobooks but my favourite Rhys Ford book to date as well. I can't wait to read/listen to Alex's story and catch up with Rook and Dante and Archie too! I can't say whether I'd have had such a strong connection to the book if I'd read it as a print offering but I do know Greg Tremblay's performance was absolutely outstanding here and I can't recommend it enough.

What did you like best about this story?

The characters, the thought that has gone into every aspect of the story, the often hilarious dialogue and the slow (even though it only happened over a couple of days!) build between the characters. I could actually believe their relationship - which is unusual to say the least in this or similar genres - and could understand why it progressed as it did.

What about Greg Tremblay’s performance did you like?

Absolutely everything - I've got a couple of his performances for Rhys Ford already and, although good, I didn't experience the breadth of his talent and pacing until this book. Much like Ms. Ford he appears to have hit his stride with this book and absolutely everything is perfect from the accents to the pacing.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Without a doubt, sadly I couldn't but I would have loved to have done.

Any additional comments?

If there is one book that you choose to have as a first experience for either author or narrator then make it this one, you won't be disappointed. Excellent and incredibly enjoyable experience. Can't wait for the sequel, I'll be devastated if there isn't!

Great!

Love Greg Tremblay's dramatisation, as always. I'm gradually working my way through both his and Rhys Ford's catalogue, they are both on my must-have list. Thank you!

Smokin' !

Fluent fast moving drama where ships that almost didn't pass in the night previously finally collide head on. Well written, funny in places, heartfelt in others. The excellent narrator gives both MCs a clear voice and character, which ensures good flow and cohesion for the plot. My first time with this author. ENJOYABLE
