Not bad, but the audiobook format and naked witch chaos worked against it.
I listened to Broometime Serenade by Barry Metcalf, and overall… it was okay. The story had moments that worked, but as an audiobook, it wasn’t always easy to follow. More than once I found myself wondering who was talking. It definitely felt written with print in mind rather than audio.
There was also some unnecessary nakedness that added nothing to the story except mild confusion, along with the improbable shenanigans of a witch that required a fair amount of suspension of disbelief. Not impossible—just eyebrow-raising.
All in all, not a bad listen, but not one that fully clicked for me. This is probably a book I would’ve enjoyed more on the page than in my earbuds… and maybe with a little less naked witching involved.
