A Spark of Death
With Seattle history and early electricity science subtlety woven into the storyline, this new mystery guides the reader through a murderous event that changes Professor Bradshaw's life. Expertly read, the actor gives the professor a voice that enhances his character. I am anxiously looking forward to the next book in this new series.
FANTASTIC! I ENJOYED MYSELF SO MUCH!
I am so glad I found this author. Bernadette Pajer is an excellent writer. The plot was good and the story flows smoothly right to the end. It is difficult to find a good writer and I have in Audible that so far there are only four books published. I do hope there will more in this series. The narrator, Malcolm Hillgartner is excellent. His voice for Professor Bradshaw is wonderful... He sound such a gentleman, kind and understanding. The plot was very good I could not guess who the killer was until the end. Well worth a credit.
