I rarely rate books, but here goes. This wasn't horrible, but definitely not worth a credit. It kept me awake in my car, that's about it. Mainly by annoying me. The narration was annoying; stilted and unnatural pronunciation of words constantly, and a terrible male voice.
Then the story and dialogue was unbelievable in many, many aspects. I kept saying to myself "that would never happen, or no one talks like that, or no one would do that" And yet, if written differently, it could have been very entertaining.

Where do I begin ....?

Revisado: 09-17-17

Ok, I've never submitted a review until now, but I thought I should, in hopes that the author and narrator will learn from it for future books.
First, the narrator began horribly, and only improved somewhat over the course of the book. I almost stopped as soon as I started. She had an annoying sing song quality to her voice
And a habit of accentuating the end syllable of each word and also drawing it out. Agonizing.
But wait, it gets worse. The start started out ok, I personally love a good murder mystery now and then. But the characters actions and dialogue were so unrealistic and the plot, although it had potential, was very flawed. I won't go into detail, but the main character wasn't even believable as a police detective. I could go in but in summary i feel The editor did not do his or her job- it should have had a total re-write. The setting in San Francisco saved me from stopping mid book, but I did return it, which I rarely do.

Poor narration

Revisado: 01-02-16

The subject matter was interesting for sure, however the story was a bit convoluted and didn't flow. More importantly, the narration was horrible, and I never feel that way. Mispronounced words, and overall unnatural diction.
