Gripping plot keeps you glued

Revisado: 04-04-25

Another great storyline. A student is killed in a motor accident, and his mother (who has ties to the US Mafia) wants to take revenge on the 3 drivers who were involved in the accident. Soon, two of the drivers are dead and the third fears for her life. It was a great listen. Jamie Glover is the 3rd narrator of this series, and he was excellent. Not sure why he only narrated one of the books, his interpretation was pleasing, unlike that of the previous narrator, who fortunately only narrated books 5 & 6. It is very jarring to adjust to a new narrator when one listens to a series. It appears that Daniel Weyman, the original narrator, is in the process of recording all the books, which is good news.

Suspenseful storytelling

Another fantastic narration by Lorelei King made this a gripping listen. Some loose ends from the previous book in the series are tied up unexpectedly here.

Disappointing narration ruins the storyline

Revisado: 03-10-24

Poor narration made it difficult to follow the storyline in places. The voices of some characters were indistinguishable, and often the volume of narration dipped so much it was impossible to follow - e.g. Benton's voice. It was extremely frustrating to constantly adjust the volume. The narrator's intonation was also jarring at times. Why did Lorelei King not narrate this book like the rest of the series? And the use of background music to set the mood was absolutely unnecessary and, in fact, detracted from the mood. This was a very unsatisfying and disappointing listen.

Gripping storyline

Revisado: 02-09-24

Trace is one of the best books in the Scarpetta series. The storyline is suspenseful and I couldn't stop listening. As always Lorelei King's narration is spot on.

Loved it, can't get enough of Gamache and Three Pines. The characters are starting to feel like family.

Murder and mystery

Another interesting cast of characters and intriguing story. My least favourite Jackson Brodie so far.

Solid storyline sabotaged by narration

Revisado: 04-08-21

What should've been a riveting listen, turned into an experience similar to walking barefoot on Lego, due to the narrator's unusual inflection. Every.single.word. is narrated as if it is a 10 second promo for a thriller. While this style works for 10 second promos, it definitely does not for a 17hr + audio book. The narrator delivers dialogue perfectly, though, so I blame the director for a severe lapse in judgement. Increasing the speed to 1.25 helped slightly to ease the listening pain. Had I not already invested time and energy into the first book of the series, I would've abandoned the audio within the first chapter. I am deeply disappointed that Audible continues to sell this narration despite all the many many complaints about it. This is not up to standard and Audible should be ashamed for continuing to charge for sub-standard work.
