meh narrator

Revisado: 12-26-24

This narrator seems more suited to soft pop radio and has a predilection for making the women sound scared or nervous even when they're not in a situation that would warrant it. I'm not sure if I'll be able to finish, the story isn't helped by the narrator and the narrator isn't helped by the story.

want a cleaner copy

Revisado: 12-11-24

Just so anyone else reading this knows, the horrid pronunciation of Hecate doesn't contine much past the first 1/4 of the book. I wish there had been time to do another narration run at this story, the pacing felt off in places. And. the, missed, punctuation pauses made parts of the story really hard to listen to like there was a turn of. the. page in the middle of a thought.

Fun Premise

Revisado: 12-11-24

I feel like the narrator would be happier reading the news or an ASMR series. the main character had things acted upon them but didn't really seem to have much personality nonetheless. It was worth the price (included in membership) but idk if I would spend a credit on it.

Interesting

Revisado: 11-20-24

first up, I am a fan of the author's work, so take my opinion with a grain of salt. OMG! I love the premise of this tale and execution is amazing. I don't claim to know enough science to speak to lab protocols etc. The ending has me twisted, pressed, shooketh and ded!

The narrator's detached and deliberate pacing was wonderful paired with the story of a woman who has been cut off from human company in childhood and in such an almost surgical way that now in adulthood she thinks human relationships are by their very nature only as valuable as their transactional worth.

it's exactly the Mashup of Wodehouse and Christie you've been promised! The twists are twisty, the puns groany and just good ole English country house locked room fun!

Less torture, more conspiracy

Revisado: 01-24-23

Overall. not a bad story but I felt like the explicit printing out of the Geneva convention guidelines and using them as a checklist was a bit much while the conspiracy theory angle was too largely glossed over.

Very Satisfying

Revisado: 08-10-22

I like Sarah Gailey, let me just lead with that. This story had characters that felt fully fleshed out, the motivations of each were explained and didn't seem one or even two dimensional. The conflicts were reasonable and the denouement...excellent! I also enjoy that each of Gailey's books I've read are their own little universe that leaves you craving more but you know will be denied, hence making the craving more sweet.

Unsatisfying

Revisado: 08-01-22

The twist wasn't so much a twist as a gentle curve in the road. Both times. The narrator, rather than taking context clue from vocabulary, chose to do a posh English for the detective and it was rather disconcerting to hear blue collar slang in an RP voice. The build up was so strong and then.... poof. Like a rollercoaster that ratchets you up for an hour only to do a little dip then you have to walk down two flights of stairs to get back out to the park.
