Something dark is lurking in the Louisiana bayou: a methodical killer with a penchant for medical experimentation is hard at work completing his most harrowing crime yet, taunting the authorities who desperately try to catch up. But forensic pathologist Dr. Wren Muller is the best there is. Armed with an encyclopedic knowledge of historical crimes, and years of experience working in the Medical Examiner's office, she's never encountered a case she couldn't solve. Until now.

Revisado: 12-12-24
Poor writing, stilted dialogue, overuse of adjectives, no character development or insight into character motivations, very confusing timeline.

Repetitive, preachy, and out of date
Revisado: 08-18-23
I'm not sure where all the five-star reviews came from. I really struggled to finish this book. It was preachy, pushy, relentlessly positive, and constantly referred to God making everything fine. It seemed to be very poorly edited, as there were a number of sections and citations repeated whole cloth. Audible lists the publication date as 2022, but it is clear from date references in the book that it was published in the 1990's, so much of the treatment and medication information is several decades out of date. The reader was maddeningly chipper and hyper, with frequent inconsistent and incorrect pronunciation of even common words.

A rousing call to arms, packed with surprising insights, that explores how carrying "the mental load" - the thankless day-to-day anticipating of needs and solving of problems large and small - is adversely affecting women’s lives and feeding gender inequality, and shows the way forward for better balancing our lives.

An hours long bitchfest about how awful men are and underappreciated women are. I'm a feminist and I couldn't get past chapter four. Don't waste your time.

Only Got 5 Minutes In…
- De Shayla en 04-06-20
terrible narrator
Revisado: 07-06-22
The content was interesting, although nothing ground breaking in my opinion. However, the reader's vocal tone, inflection, expression, and pacing were so artificial, it was absolutely maddening and I could barely force myself to finish the book. Very ironic for a book about the use of one's voice!!

Both our conscious and more deeply embedded fears act as saboteurs in our lives, influencing us to make "safe" choices and limiting our ability to live happy, fulfilling lives. But imagine if you could learn how to take control of your brain’s instinctive response to danger. In Life Unlocked, Harvard-trained psychiatrist Dr. Srinivasan Pillay draws from cutting-edge research in neuroscience to show you how to do just this: to move past fear and unlock the potential of your life.

The world-renowned philosopher and author of the best-selling Justice explores the central question of our time: What has become of the common good? World-renowned philosopher Michael J. Sandel argues that to overcome the crises that are upending our world, we must rethink the attitudes toward success and failure that have accompanied globalization and rising inequality. Sandel shows the hubris a meritocracy generates among the winners and the harsh judgment it imposes on those left behind, and traces the dire consequences across a wide swath of American life.

Michael Pollan, known for his best-selling nonfiction audio, including The Omnivores Dilemma and How to Change Your Mind, conceived and wrote Caffeine: How Caffeine Created the Modern World as an Audible Original. In this controversial and exciting listen, Pollan explores caffeine’s power as the most-used drug in the world - and the only one we give to children (in soda pop) as a treat.

The artificially "soothing" voice she adopts during the meditation portions drove me crazy. The whole thing felt fake and really annoying.
