Well, I was super excited to be amongst the book bloggers who were invited to review the audio books for Orenda Books. I really enjoy audio books, they are a welcome break away from PC, TV and Tablet screens. When my eyes are tired but my ears are not. They are my guilty pleasure.

So kick starting our #loveaudio reviews, I have Deep Down Dead by Steph Broadribb. First up it’s read by Jennifer Woodward, who is a well- versed voice actor. I have listened to a few audio books in the past by Jennifer and she is clear, precise and very good at changing her voice to fit each character.

With Deep Down Deep, it is spoken in a southern style drawl. The storyline is superb, fast paced and sitting on the edge of your seat thrilling. But Jennifer keeps her pace perfect, never rushing.

Steph Broadribb just rose to the top of my list for best reads of 2017. From page one to the end I was hooked. I actually had to stop ironing and sit on the bed. In my head, I was cheerleading for Lori the main character. The story comes alive right before my ears, in this case, it plays like a movie. I could feel the heat in the car, the dust on the road. Every detail is carefully placed. Well written by Steph Broadribb, we have the roots of a hugely successful series. One I can see moving to the big screen very soon.

It ticks every available box and then some for top crime fiction. It’s a refreshing read with heart racing moments and gritty conclusions.

I thoroughly recommend it to you, it’s available in Audio, eBook and Paperback
