About this listen
Sassy has never been so dangerous.
Question:
What do you get when you take a witty housewife with deep, dark secrets and coop her up in a house with a frustratingly demonic dishwasher and a professional killer who just happens to look like The Gladiator?
Answer:
You get a thrilling tour de force of unexpected action that's peppered throughout with comedic beats and seriously dark undertones. From opening paragraph all the way to the very end, Error Code is a non-stop romp.
And now a word from the main character (a.k.a. the "housewife")...
Umm, did you really just twice refer to me as a housewife, Mr. Blurb? Hmm...I'll deal with you later.
Oh, hi there future fan of mine.
My name is Autumn Winter and I'm a recovering pain in the rear. I also happen to be one heck of a spooky ghost - only probably not in the way you're thinking. And no, my parents weren't flower children - Winter is my name by marriage and yes, I realize it's ridiculously over-seasoned. Years ago when Jack (my husband) proposed to me, my initial response was, "How would you like to be surnamed Ass?" My retort sparked a debate on the differences between Jack Ass and Autumn Winter that dragged out for two weeks. Once he caved and finally agreed that the two formed names were like in concept, then - and only then - did I say yes to his proposal.
That probably tells you a little bit about what you're up against with me. As we go along, you'll no doubt figure out that I am what some may view as sassy, what others may interpret as a fun version of arrogant, and what a chosen few will come to know as dangerous.
I'll leave you with one last thought: if you think the world is perfect and that people and things don't need adjustment, then you and I probably won't see eye-to-eye. But that's okay, because everyone deserves their opinion - of course, mine is the only one that counts.

Separated by 10 years, 3,000 miles, and the unrelenting stresses of adulthood, best friends Janet and Serena plan a 40th birthday girls’ trip to reconnect. But after a massive crash, they’re the only survivors to wash ashore on an uncharted Caribbean Island. Armed with only the clothes on their backs and zero survival skills, they fight to overcome hunger, thirst, deadly wildlife—and most terrifyingly—decades of accrued resentment. Can they find their way home, or will they kill each other first?

Story
A bad best man’s speech can ruin a wedding. Why do we plan every detail of a perfect day and then give the groom’s idiot best friend five minutes of total power? Enter Nate (Glen Powell), a speechwriter-for-hire who helps people write incredible best man speeches. To keep the best man from embarrassing himself (and the newlyweds), Nate uses his list of don’ts: Don’t mention the exes, don’t be rated R, and don’t bum everyone out. Nate’s system never fails. That is, until he meets Dan (Nicholas Braun).

When two childhood best friends blow up their respective romantic relationships, they make a time-sensitive pact: serial-cheater Chuck cannot sleep with anyone as she attends a three-month-long recovery group for cheaters, while sex-deprived Sofia vows to hook up with as many people as possible before recommitting to monogamy and tying the knot with her long-time fiancé. To keep things interesting, Chuck and Sofia decide to revive a past tradition from their summer camp days—also known as the dawning of sluthood.

Story
Ziwe made a name for herself by asking guests like Alyssa Milano, Fran Lebowitz, and Chet Hanks direct questions. In Black Friend, she turns her incisive perspective on both herself and the culture at large. Throughout the book, Ziwe combines pop-culture commentary and personal stories that grapple with her own (mis)understanding of identity. From a hilarious case of mistaken identity via a jumbotron to a terrifying fight-or-flight encounter in the woods, Ziwe raises difficult questions for comedic relief.

Error Code
“This audiobook was given by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review via Audiobook Boom.”
Autumn Winter, former CIA agent and frazzled housewife tangles with a wacky dishwasher. The repairman gets more than he bargained for. This broad is just plain crazy and what a twisted sense of humor. So bizarre I couldn't stop laughing !!
The narration was well done.The characters were well portrayed.

Entertaining story
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
I wasn't sure what to expect from this story since the description is rather convoluted. It took me a little time to follow along but once I was engaged, I completed the story in one listen. Part of what kept me intrigued were the complexities of the story. What does a malfunctioning dishwasher have to do with paid assassins??? Listen to Error Code and find out.
Have you listened to any of Julie McKay and Punch Audio ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Julie McKay delivers a strong, professional performance. There is great emotional range and inflection in her voice that captures the pacing and tension in the story. Greatly enjoyed her performance.
Any additional comments?

A Twisted and Somewhat Wacky Thriller
It starts with a dishwasher and ends with dead bodies. “Error Code” is easily one of the weirdest stories I’ve read/listened to this year. I absolutely disliked the good guys, who aren’t really all that good and I actually felt bad for the bad guys who were definitely very bad. Yet I couldn’t stop reading/listening.
Julie McKay is the narrator for this story and she does a wonderful job. Not only does she have a great sounding voice, she really knows how to make a great story even better.
This is my second story from author R. K. Howard and both of them were outstanding. I really think Mr. Howard is definitely someone to lookout for. Finally, this audio book was provided by the narrator at no cost in exchange for an honest review, courtesy of Audio Book Blast.

Wacky!
humor, satire, thriller, suspense, not-quite-horror
Read on July 01, 2016
The dishwasher made her do it. No, methinks her trolley jumped the tracks some time ago.
Deceptive little book starts simply quirky, then it ramps up big time into Surprise of the Hour! See publisher's blurb for clues, you wouldn't believe out of context examples, anyway. Sick, crazy, or whatever you want to call it, this is one hilarious story!
I was fortunate to have listened to it with Julie McKay audio performing and really nailing it as the perky, looney, protagonist.

‘Look, see, I told you I’m snarky’ got old fast
The description for this made it sound like something I’d enjoy. It started out well enough, the character is supposed to be sassy and dangerous. What killed it for me was instead of having the character’s stream of thought and the story convey how snarky she is, the character kept stopping to stay “Look! look look!!! See what I just did there. I told you I’m sassy/snarky/dangerous!” I would have preferred a more show-don’t-tell approach. In the end, it just made the character get on my nerves and I stopped caring. If you don’t mind that as much, then this story should be entertaining enough.
Narration was good, and changed tones appropriately to get the character across.
Basically, I would have rated this higher if it wasn’t for the characters need to keep saying ‘look, see I told you I’m snarky’ grr.
