Sound modulation makes this un-listenable

Revisado: 10-25-18

I think this might be a pretty fun book. Unfortunately, the sound editing/modulation made this un-listenable for me. I quickly grew tired of having to adjust the volume. Partly the narrator's fault, but I place the blame on the production.

Hope this will be a new series!

Revisado: 10-29-17

Connelly is a top favorite of mine. Loved the narrator, and female narrators I love are few, as many of them sound "wussy". I much prefer narrators who don't overact. The only reason I gave her 4 instead of 5 stars is that she is still a new narrator. Loved Ballard with Moennig narrating, hope this is a series!!!

Good series, volume issues

Revisado: 07-14-17

Any additional comments?

I enjoy this series, and I like this narrator. But am I the only one who is annoyed by the volume differences between Easter's and Nikki's voices? I have to keep adjusting the volume. Otherwise really enjoy this series!

Narration so bad I can't listen

Revisado: 02-28-17

Any additional comments?

What a disappointment. I love Grisham, but this narrator is so bad I just can't listen to it. Some of the reviewers doubt if Grisham even wrote this. I can't comment on that because I couldn't make it through enough of the book. Bummer!

Might be good ...

Revisado: 08-28-09

The story was interesting enough, especially the beginning. Unfortunately, by 3/4 of the way through, I couldn't stand to listen to the narrator any longer. I didn't even care anymore how the story ended. Interestingly, my husband really liked this audiobook.
This narrator really "overacts" and tries too hard to sound male during the male parts, and just sounds silly. It's a shame more narrators don't "get" that reading an audiobook is not the same as radio theatre. Maybe some listeners enjoy that approach. I like audiobooks read with enough expression to capture the atmosphere created by the writing. If I "notice" the narrator much, it's probably because they're annoying. If I forget that I am listening instead of reading, the narrator is a master.
I gave 2 stars instead of 1 because the story isn't bad.

Excellent true crime account

Revisado: 08-27-09

Very well written and narrated. Great for lovers of true crime! I really appreciated the narrator; Aussie accents tend to get on my nerves but her voice was enjoyable to listen to. She doesn't over-read or overact. My idea of an excellent narrator is one who makes you forget you're listening instead of reading, and she has this quality. I wish there were more audiobooks available with her narration. This was one of my first purchases after joining, and it remains one of my favorites (if your in the mood to get lost in a great story). It is graphic at times but only as much as necessary. Neither the writing or the narration are ever gratuitous. Recommend!

poor sound quality

Revisado: 07-27-07

I haven't yet listened to the whole book; about an hour and then I gave up. I couldn't hear it at all by using my iPod in the car, so I burned it onto a disc, yielding little improvement. It is very dull, like having a text book read to you. Very disappointed.
