I listened to it on my dog walks, and it was a nice early morning, beat-the-heat focus. 😉

Loved this informative and succinct review format, Linda. I enjoy these little inspirational suspense books from time to time. I’ve read some really good ones from author Dana Mentink. I’ll have to try listening to one some day. I’ve only ever read the physical books. 📚

I mostly don’t use the audio format. I need my hearing aids to connect to my phone to hear the book. While that works pretty well, my husband can’t tell if I am “reading” a book when he tries to talk to me. Then it gets messy trying to stop the reading and get back to my place.🤷♀️
