The plot was thin and there wasn’t a Scottish burr anywhere in this book.

Revisado: 10-16-24

This book takes place in Scotland. The narrator made very little differentiation between characters. It was very difficult to follow the storyline because everyone sounded the same and there were so many characters. It was especially irritating that the author wrote the Scottish characters speaking in the Scottish vernacular. It just sounded stupid with no Scottish accent. Also, the plot was really thin. A killer or killers are drugging people to steal their organs for transplant. You can’t just randomly drug “healthy looking” people and kidnap/kill them for immediate transplants for rich people. The book just didn’t make sense. There have to be tests to determine compatibility beforehand. I might have forgiven this major problem if there had been a decent narrator. Over the past several years narration of audiobooks has become an art. Some have one narrator who is adept at making distinct voices that are recognizable throughout the story. Others have multiple narrators who weave the narration like a play. This narrator fell short. I will not purchase another book read by this narrator.

Great cliff hanger!

Revisado: 05-17-24

I love all of J.L. Hyde’s books. My only complaint is that they’re too darn short! Can not wait to read the next installment😀

The Ending!

Revisado: 02-08-24

Liked everything-wish it had lasted longer! Already read “Delta County” and can’t wait to read “Midnight in Delta County” next. These stories are gripping and
I’m looking forward to reading more!

Loved the merging of the Morton and Venator series!

Revisado: 02-08-24

Nathan never disappoints with his stories-this was a treat because it included Maddie and Rootstech as well as a great cliffhanger. Was especially delighted that Maddie was voiced by Bryn Austin and not Ian Pringle. Mr. Pringle is great except when it comes to American accents…A great listen!!

Great story, ominous ending…

Revisado: 01-22-24

Loved the story, four friends reuniting at the chateau they stayed in 20 years ago. A murder, secrets and betrayal-what more can you ask for? The ending left me hanging-a sequel perhaps?
My only “dislikes” would be that it was difficult to keep a couple of the characters straight. Jade and Vix. Also, the character Darcy is supposed to be a New Yorker born and raised, but the voice actor had a distinct accent/cadence. It made it difficult to fully envision the character. I would definitely like to read another book by this author!

Enjoyed the Story

Revisado: 09-12-23

However-the narrator was distracting with a very stilted style of speech. The cadence wasn’t natural and had tons of awkwardly sounding sentences where emphasis was placed on unlikely words or phrases. Would not choose another audiobook with her narration.

Love this new series from NDG!

Revisado: 08-19-23

A longtime fan of all of NDG books and I have to say that this series is the next level. The characters are interesting and their back stories are intriguing on their own. Put together with solving cold cases using DNA and you have a winner. Even though I sometimes get lost in the DNA jargon and specifics, I feel that I’ve actually learned useful information to help in my own research. Also love the way he tied Morton into this group. More, please!

Almost made a big mistake but….

Revisado: 07-25-23

Hearing this narrator’s voice in the beginning annoyed me so that I considered reading the book instead. So glad I stuck with it long enough to realize how perfectly Mr. Haberkorn captured Quinn Quicksilver’s personality with that voice. Can’t imagine any other working as well.
I’ve always loved Mr. Koontz’s books and this was no exception. Hoping to see more of Quinn and company in the future!

Don’t waste a credit

Revisado: 06-27-23

The premise sounds inviting but the reality was a great disappointment. The main characters were superficial and honestly not too bright. The author glosses over serial heinous animal abuse as if it were just a lapse in judgement and harps too much on a failing marriage with no backstory. If the neighbor said “and this and that” less that 50 times I would be surprised. The worst part was the narration. The accents were awful and there was little distinction in character voices. The reading was often stilted and inflections were off. Before I listened to this I was excited that it was a series but no way will I waste another credit or my time.
