Audio review

Revisado: 05-17-22

Narrators were great but the story was a bit hard to follow at first due to the time skipping back and forth. I don’t think it would have been a problem in written form but in audio, it was a bit confusing.
The story itself was fine once it got running

Skipped the tacky parts

Revisado: 03-15-22

Long discussions of sh*t and detailed descriptions of torture are not my cup of tea. Could have done without them. However the basic story line was interesting and the narration was excellent.

All men are lying cheating bas*****

Revisado: 02-18-22

This theme is consistently repeated throughout the story. I would have trashed it early on if I hadn’t been listening to it instead. Every female in the story has been betrayed by a man. Even the back story of Classical Literature deals with this same theme.
A love obsessed co-ed is dumped by her boyfriend, ends up seducing her college professor, blackmails him when he tries to end it and is found dead in an apparent suicide. The story is told in a Before and After the murder style which was not hard to follow.
If it hadn’t been for the constant drumming in of how rotten men are, it would have been a good novel.

Narrator needs acting classes

Revisado: 01-07-22

The plot & story line are decent - if you are willing to stick with it..
POV gets confusing at times & the 3 sentence chapters were a little hard to get used to.
Yes, this story falls into the hard-boiled detective genre but the narrator gives an over the top presentation that had me considering to quit listening after 15 minutes. A little subtlety & change of voice pitch when changing characters would help immensely.

A heroine with tunnel vision

Revisado: 12-03-19

I really would have liked to give this book a 5 star rating but the author's need to have the heroine ignore obvious clues about the murder's identity got extremely frustrating. Everything else about the book was first rate.

Stupid characters

Revisado: 09-05-19

How many times will the author spare the life of the enemy only to have said enemy rise up to create havoc once more.
Narration is whiny & high pitched brogue. Hard to tell characters apart after awhile.
Dislike epics!

Narration is painful

Revisado: 06-27-19

I really liked the plot & story line. The characters are well developed and their interaction is enjoyable. The world building was consistent and believable.
The only problem I had was with the narrator. It actually got painful for me to listen to him. Seems he either does a whiney, high pitched Irish - or was it Scottish - brogue,. Or he does a low pitched, raspy one with a guttural under tone. The cadence may have been appropriate for the characters but the tone and timbre were annoying.
