"The narrator was spot on. He voiced the character better than I could have imagined him." -Peter Ackerman's Reviews

"Definitely a great one for the crime book clubs, because there are lots of angles to discuss." -Peachfront

"The narration was first class. Definitely recommend going down that road if you enjoy good audiobooks." -Wayne Fenlon's Reviews

"Peter Berkrot does an excellent job of bringing 'Buddy' to life and keeping him there throughout the many twists and turns of his life." -Deb's Reviews

"Block's work here is exceptional. It is definitely not for everyone, though if you can read the synopsis and still dive in, I hope you do. Dead Girl Blues is a devastatingly good book that will stay with you." -Matt Coffey

"Berkrot's chilling but ultimately empathetic narration belies Borden's darkness with black humor that some listeners will find both intriguing and entertaining." ---AudioFile
