About this listen
Everyone's a critic. But sometimes words cut deep and the wounds turned deadly.
That's what happened to Claude Giraud, the top restaurant critic in town.
He had run afoul of the wrong restaurateur, and it is now up to amateur sleuth Hope Hadley to figure out which one.

How about a little home cooking?
Murder of a Restaurant Critic starts well - Hope Hadley is the passenger in brother Joe's police car as they pursue a suspect through busy traffic. Then the reader is taken back a day to find out who, and why? From this moment, this reader basically lost interest. The plot was a good one: a vicious restaurant critic had been found murded, suspects were numerous, from chefs whose business had been destroyed by him to the about to be divorced wife. But the interviews by the detective couple, Joe and his sister, were trite, Joe, it seemed, constantly angry and Hope smug and patronising, becoming distressed when the case had not been solved in a couple of hours.
The narration, on the other hand, was excellent. S.L.Crowley has a very attractive voice which she uses to bring different character to all of the protagonists as well as injecting emotion into what is otherwise a flat and irritating story. The book itself is short, so does not allow for much development of plot of person, What can be done with the story is done by Ms.Crawley. Hers a good performance.Sent
Although I could not recommend this book to anyone as a good read, it is short enough to fill an hour or so with undemanding listening and, as previously mentioned, the narrator's voice is a pleasure to hear. My thanks to the rights holder of Murder of a Restaurant Critic, who, at my request freely gifted me with a complimentary copy, via Audiobook Boom.

Careful where you eat
The premise of the story is a good one, but after reading the title you know the critic is going to get it real soon; let's hope this doesn't continue on to reviewers of this book as we're also critics!
I found the accent a bit strong, but that's probably just me. I would have preferred a more generic accent to make the listening easier, but I understand that each book can not be personalised for every listener.
I expect there will be more in this series and I look forward to listening to them. I enjoyed trying to find the clues and identifying whodunnit.
