The Listener

I read Ms Dodd' s books long before I owned a kindle and loved all her series. This short story did not disappoint. I always wish her books were longer because I get so caught up in her characters, but this was advertised as a short story, a lunchtime read to introduce some of the characters from her upcoming series and that was completely accurate. I am certainly intrigued by the characters who were so well developed for a short read and hope to see more of them.

If you're going to read VIRTUE FALLS, I recommend buying THE LISTENER. This short subtle story of murder introduces us to the Oceanview Café and the town of Virtue Falls, Washington. The small town characters and tourists gather at the café to eat, greet, and gossip while setting the tone for the murder/suspense in the unusually lengthy VIRTUE FALLS.
