Four days before Christmas in Elk Park, Colorado, genealogist Anna Denning discovers a client's body. When she starts asking questions no one wants answered, she becomes the killer's next target. Still grieving the death of her husband, Anna must draw on her wounded faith to enter a world of wicca and paganism - reminders of a past she buried long ago - and discover the secret of The Witch Tree.

What made the experience of listening to The Witch Tree the most enjoyable?
Unfortunately, I didn't find the listening all that enjoyable. I stuck with it because I liked the story. I didn't feel the narrator was a very good one.Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Becky Doughty?
Someone that could make the characters clearer. Half the time, I couldn't tell which character was speaking, not even the difference between the men and women. It can make it a bit hard to follow the story. There was little to no inflection or dramatization of the story, as she read it.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No.Any additional comments?
If I decide to get any more of the Anna Denning novels, I will be buying them to read myself. I just didn't care for Becky Doughty's narration.Interesting story...bad narration.

When genealogist Anna Denning is drawn into a murder investigation, she realizes she has been enlisted--or used--to uncover something dangerous. She just isn't the kind of woman who would leave an investigation alone when she has the smarts to figure it out, but as she digs deeper the threats against her, her business, and her safety grow more sinister and deadly. Politics, money, and love are all in the mix, but is the real danger be supernatural?
The Witch Tree's narrator has a smooth and clear voice, with just enough modulation at times to let you know when the speaker or the scene has changed. It's the kind of reading in which the narrator "disappears," leaving nothing that is too rushed, loud, or strange to distract you from the story itself.
Suspense!

What did you love best about The Witch Tree?
the way the story played out.What does Becky Doughty bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
i liked her style of reading. she was very expressive in her voice. it really brought the story to life for me.Any additional comments?
i really like karins style of writing, she knows how to bring her charactors to life. for me its like seeing the movie play out in my mind, that to me is a great writer. I was told once by my english teacher to write your story so that i can visualize it in my head. that is what karins writing does for me. excellent!!!!!!!!!!love karins writing, wonderful book

(Anna Denning Mystery #1)
by Karin Kaufman
It's taken me a few days to finish this because it is so...YAWN! I just couldn't force myself to finish it in one sitting, I have enough stress. This has a gal, Anna, that is a genealogist, and all around push-your-beliefs-on-everyone attitude. She has a rescue dog that is told to you about fifty times. She hates witches and the author makes witches the scourge of the Earth. Evil incarnate. Not much plot but boy do we know about evil witches and her rescue dog!
I thought this was going to be a paranormal book but boy was I surprised when I found it to be a radical Christian book that was poorly written. No more of this author for me!
