Good Diane Chamberlain Story, but...

Reviewed: 07-23-17

What did you like best about Before the Storm? What did you like least?

I thought the story was interesting, although a bit drawn out. It would have had more punch minus some of the filler, but the "mystery" part of it was good. I changed my mind multiple times about who the culprit was, which to me is a sign of a good plot.

What didn’t you like about Abby Craden and Kris Koscheski ’s performance?

Kris Koscheski's performance was well done, but Abby Craden was probably the worst reader I have ever experienced in audible books, which I have listened to from one source or another for twenty years. Perhaps if you were just sitting down next to the speaker, it would be okay, but her voice dropped often and way too much. I understand that she was probably trying to create an effect, but I am definitely not used to having to turn the volume up and down on an audio book just to hear it comfortably. And I definitely do not sit next to the speaker listening to a book-I am often driving, using ear buds while walking or doing things around the house listening to the book and having to constantly alter the sound level is absurd.

Do you think Before the Storm needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

It might be interesting to have a sequel to learn what happens in Maggie's and Andy's lives.
