MY REVIEW
A new story and a new author for me.
Pensioner Felix was part of the Exiteers, a group of discrete volunteers who comforted the terminally ill people who had chosen to pass on with dignity. They also tidied up the area so that their deaths appeared to be of natural causes.
One such day, Felix went with Amanda, a new recruit to help a dying man. But something happened, and Felix had to run, instructing Amanda to slip away.
My first book by this author, I was quite surprised as I thought this would be a great action thriller, but the book had moments of humor along with the need to find the truth. Many eclectic characters along with a different plotline made this an interesting listen. Twists too peppered into the prose as in any mystery.
The narrator could make me interested in the various characters, the voices played were distinct with emotions and intonations.
The concept was interesting, having a thriller-y heart, I would have liked more suspense.
But the book had its own charm with a good mystery and a shadowed plotline. Listened to it while doing my chores.

Hi Michael, how are things with you? At the moment I am going into a few anxiety attacks hence have been slow on replying. It is odd what a pandemic could do after a year of stress. Thank you for your kind support. Be safe. ❤️
