Long and slow, but a very interesting space story
Revisado: 03-19-19
This is a very long winded and, at times, slow and detailed story, but that doesn't necessarily make it painful to listen to. The performance is at least adequate, and even quite excellent for some characters, but the pace of the novel does tend to drag in areas. The story changes perspective between the two sides, abd between the two species, which keeps it a little more interesting. The action is a little lacking at times, but there's still enough to keep you going. It's definitely different to other books like it I've read/listened to.

The boy studied the bruise turning yellow at the base of his neck. With quick fingers his mother tightened his tie and pulled his collar high above it. Her eyes alone said, We will not speak of this.... Years later a man is found shot dead in a local park. On his phone is a draft text: I can’t keep this secret any longer. The recipient is unnamed. Detective Robyn Carter knows this secret is the key to the case, but his friends and family don’t offer any clues, and all her team have to go on is a size-ten footprint.

If you've listened to the other 3, keep going!
Revisado: 01-08-19
Not as heart-racing as the previous titles and the ending wasn't exactly unpredictable, but the case was unique enough and the characters strong enough to keep my interest. Worth it if you've already read/listened to the other 3 before it. The main character's subplot about her dead husband (fiance?) was a great edition and left me wanting more. Hopefully there's a fifth book coming soon.
The narrator fits this series perfectly and does a great job doing a range of voices, especially when having to do men and children. However, some characters do end up sounding similar given how many there are, which can get confusing. And there were a few errors and annoying habits the reader has that made it difficult to listen to at times, predominantly her use of Hard G's on every word containing a G, like "ring-ging" or "rang-geh" instead of ringing and rang. But otherwise very enjoyable.
