How to Kill Your Biggest Fan by Helen BlairMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Narrated by Susie Riddell

This was really fun! A great, easy listen.
Hazel was such a conflicting character - I definitely went through a range of emotions towards her!
Highly recommend.
Hazel is a successful author who hates people. When she receives some disturbing fan mail, it sends her on a quest of sorts, to root out the stalker and turn it into her next hit.
Honestly, Hazel was such an interesting protagonist. You really go through all kinds of emotions where you dislike a lot about her immediately, but then some aspects win you over, only to then be disappointed again in something she says or does.
At the same time, there's an aspect of fun in watching the wrecks she makes, and seeing her struggle as a consequence.
This is light and zippy, but it has some darker themes too that are worth consideration. There's a feministic streak that will have women onside, and will allow for deeper reflection beyond Hazel's antics.
A lighthearted story, but certainly not lacking depth.
The narrator did a great job differentiating between characters, and used appropriate tones without any awful long pauses. I'd happily listen to this narrator again.
All in all, a fun audio diversion for cosy crime fans.
