Fadeaway Girl: A Novel Audiobook

" I Love Emma and her cheeky ways, but this latest in the series did not seem to add much. "

" not very exciting, but a funny and comforting story! "

" Emma Graham the twelve year old detective and writer uncovers another mystery that the adults in her town don't want to face. "

" Another excellent installment in the Emma Graham series! "

" this book is a sequel to a book called Belle Ruin - which i didn't realize and wish I had read before reading FlyAway Girl. There are many references to crimes etc. that took place in the first book and references to people that I didn't know anything about. If you want to read Fadeaway Girl be sure to pick up Belle Ruin first. I like the author's style although I doubt a 12 year old girl could do all the things listed in this book. "

" Emma is a delight. Her life and times evoke a simplicity of life that draws me in. She makes me wish I had been more like her when I was young. This novel continues from the previous three. I would not recommend reading it without having read the other three. "

" This was really more of a two & a half. The 12-year-old protagonist just didn't ring true, but some of her antics were hilarious. "

" Read Belle Ruin first. There are numerous references to past events and characters in this book, and you will be lost without having read the first book. "

" Not her best but I love Martha. "

" love Martha Grimes (good escape) and she writes from a child's point of view so well. Emma age 12 first appeared in "Belle Ruin" and this is a sequel to that book. "

" Not my favorite Martha Grimes character, but a good read anyway "

" This booked moved very slowly, and I found the main character dull. "

" I wanted to like this more, I really did, I loved the previous Emma books but I had a hard time keeping interested in this. It's too bad because some of her phrases are quite lovely! "

" Twelve-year old solves a twenty yyear old mystery. Emma lives in an old hotel in a quiet town in southwestern Maryland. Quite precocious in her dealings with adults. "

" I like Martha Grimes but I dislike this book. It feels like I came in in the middle of a trilogy. "

" For the length of the book, I had the feeling I was missing something. I only just now discovered that there were three previous books about the same characters. IMO, this isn't a stand-alone book because I was confused about various things from the start. "

" I'll stick to Richard Jury. "

" I really prefer the Richard Jury series but this is growing on me. An 11 year old girl, who also waits tables at her mother's hotel, is the detective and has been discovering several old unexplained deaths, which she then investigates. A really feisty, intrepid girl! "

" Long-awaited and did not dissapoint. Did not wrap everything up though, this is the most tantalizing, ongoing, never-ending series of mysteries! But I love the characters and the perspective of the pre-teen sleuth Emma Graham. "

" Martha Grimes has a way of writing about children, especially from their perspective that is captivating. Emma is an amazing character and she does it again. My only complaint is that the book wasn't longer and tied up more loose ends. "

" Not sure I will ever finish this Grimes novel. Love the character from Belle Ruin, love Martha Grimes books, but this particular book seems to repeat the same things over and over again that were part of Belle Ruin. Will start the new Orson Scott Card and come back to htis one. "

" I adore Martha Grimes, and I love Emma Graham...but if this is the end of the series, I'm really confused. Who dunnit??? "

" This is a kind of young adult sounding mystery. There was another book called Belle Ruin that should have been read first. I finished the book but I was not engaged much and really did not find it very interesting. It is just a kind of average story. "

" This isn't one of the better ones in this series but I enjoy reading about these characters and how a 12 year old girl puts everything together. "

" This was the 4th book in the series...I looked these books..I hope she continutes with the same characters in another book.. "

" Not sure I will ever finish this Grimes novel. Love the character from Belle Ruin, love Martha Grimes books, but this particular book seems to repeat the same things over and over again that were part of Belle Ruin. Will start the new Orson Scott Card and come back to htis one. "

" I'm so happy to have this next installment of the Emma Graham series by Martha Grimes in my hot, little hands. I was wondering if Ms. Grimes would write another. I love Emma's voice; hers is true, confident and so clever, I can't believe she is only 12! "

" Very disappointed. I like her Pub title mysteries but completly turned off this series. I do enjoy young sluths as the one i Alan Bradley's Sweetness at the bottom of the pie. Even Nancy Drew is better than Fadeaway Girl. Will not pick up another - have too many others to read. "

" I loved the other Emma Graham mysteries by Martha Grimes but I couldn't get in to this one. It might help to read them closer together in time. "

" Apparently this is a sequel to Belle Ruin. Before I can offer a proper commentary, I will have to read the prior novel. "

" Just happenstance that I got two preadolescent girls as narrator, this one is also good, but it had been so long since I read the previous books, I spent a lot of time playing catchup. "
