Publisher's summary

Books Three, Four, and Five in the John Decker series.

Crimson Deep: Deep in the Florida woodlands, a pair of recreational divers are attacked and killed. Miles away, a research team captures an impossible sight on their remote-operated submersible. Meanwhile, a team of bank robbers speed toward their Florida hideout.

As deaths mount, ex-sheriff John Decker is called from a much-needed vacation by a longtime friend, to help a baffled police department track an impossible enemy. Thrust into one of the most dangerous situations of his life, Decker must combat not only a ruthless killer but a cadre of criminals with nothing to lose.

And the stakes could not be higher, because if Decker fails, it could lead not only to his own death but the demise of the woman he loves.

Grendel's Labyrinth: Under a ruined monastery near the quaint village of Clareconnell, a labyrinth of caves hides a dark secret. The remains of Grendel. Defeated by Beowulf and entombed there by the Danes, he has remained hidden for a thousand years, guarded first by warriors, then by monks, and finally by the villagers themselves.

But nothing stays lost forever.

A team of archaeologists is excavating the monastery and searching for his grave. Because Grendel’s bones may hold the key to a medical breakthrough that could change the world.

When John Decker, newly recruited to the shadowy organization called CUSP, arrives in the Emerald Isle to retrieve the bones, he discovers that there’s more to this idyllic village than meets the eye. For Clareconnell has a dark and shameful past, and now that the caves have been opened, the villagers must pay for their sins....

Whitechapel Rising: Jack the Ripper faded into history over a century ago, his identity lost to the ages. Until a work crew restoring a Mayfair home make a shocking find. A secret basement room walled up since Victorian times. The Whitechapel murderer's lair. And inside, a corpse that has waited in silent darkness for over a hundred years. But it won't stay that way....

Within hours of the room's discovery, the body goes missing, and the murders begin anew.

With a violent killer on the loose and the body count rising, John Decker, still new to CUSP, is sent to England, along with seasoned operative Colum O'Shea. Their mission - to stop a ruthless monster from obtaining the one thing that will allow him to escape forever.

As the city huddles in fear and the terror mounts, Decker finds himself in a race against time to catch a hellish fiend smarter than any he has ever faced. Because if he doesn't, the next death might hit a little too close to home.

Great with one minor complaint

It’s a a amazing book series. Although I wish the author would get a little better educated on police and firearms if he’s gonna write books based on them but story and characters are amazing

horrible narrator

I enjoyed the stories but cringed many times during the telling.
The narration had many mispronounced words and emphasis placed at wrong times.
I completed the series that I purchased but it was difficult at times

Story good, narration bad.

I really like the stories. However, they would have been much better if somebody other than Jet Malicki narrated.
I don't think it's his "normal" voice, he is just over acting. For me, his performance was "cringe worthy" and several times I nearly stopped listening to the books. If not for him [Malicki] they would have been more enjoyable.

Replace the narrarator!!

The storys are intriguing and well written. But…the narrarator reads like a high school kid giving a report. I’d love to see the series rereleased with a different person telling the story

New narrator needy

This narrator can’t narrate women’s voices or do any accents. He also mispronounces a fair number of words. It is a pity that they couldn’t find a more skilled narrator.

Terrible narrator

several times I almost decided to add this to the DNR file because of the horrible narration. His children’s and women’s voices are like listening to nails on a chalkboard and were like torture. Also, the accents were atrocious. I'm not one to leave negative reviews, but I couldn't just ignore this because they were so hard to resolve.

Enjoyable

I enjoy these stories quite a bit. They are fun and keep me interested.
The narrator is ok. I’m not a fan of how he does voices for women and he gets a little over dramatic in the tense parts but it’s nothing I can’t deal with.

Horrible narrator

Decent story but the horrible attempted voices by the narrator are hard to listen to. Please do the world a favor and retire from reading for audible.

A good price for the boxed set but ...

What I liked was extra normal monster hunting and a good price for a boxed set of books.
However if this was in print it would be pulp writing, Some melodrama and in some cases sloppy writing coupled with melodrama in narration. The narrator going into falsetto for some of the female voices left me at a loss. Still it did get me through my walks.

Narrator was horrible

Title: Terrible Narration Ruins a Decent Story

I was really looking forward to listening to this audiobook on a long trip, but it ended up being a huge letdown. The story itself wasn’t bad and had some interesting parts, but the narration was just awful.

The female characters either sounded like a breathy man trying to talk in a high voice or even worse, like Mickey Mouse. The main character’s voice was done in this over-the-top superhero style that didn’t fit at all. It was super distracting and honestly kind of cringey.
