Publisher's summary

There's nothing strange about bodies buried in cemeteries - unless they don't belong there. And when six murdered women are discovered in other people's graves, the hunt for a sadistic serial killer begins before he can claim a seventh victim.

Agent Cam Prescott of Iowa's Division of Criminal Investigation is leading the search alongside forensic psychologist Sophia Channing, who knows the minds of psychopaths inside and out. And after a brief but passionate affair, she knows Cam almost as well. What she doesn't know is that her high-profile involvement in the case has caught the twisted predator's eye - and sparked his fury. When Sophia suddenly vanishes, Cam and his team shift into overdrive to keep horrific history from repeating itself. But for Sophia, being trapped in the same isolated lair where so much innocent blood has been spilled may get her inside her vicious captor's head - and may offer her the only chance she has to escape an agonizing and lethal fate.

Okay

Good reader. Story was listenable, not my favorite but still okay. Probably won't do the rest of the series though.

Good series

Would you consider the audio edition of Chasing Evil to be better than the print version?

I don't read the print editions of anything. I don't have time to listen and read!

What did you like best about this story?

Set in Minnesota where I was born and lived for the first 30 years of my life.

Any additional comments?

The reader kept misprouncing Edina. That drove me nuts! Why did there need to be a 3 book series. They got too long. It was frustrating to realize I would have to listen to 36 hours or more to see how everything turned out.

Iowa novel

I live in Iowa and so this book was awesome to
Me. It is kind of hard to follow a book that goes back in time like memories but with that said was a good mix is suspense and romance.

5 star book and 10 star narration..

I loved every character in this book! Because of the narrator!

The killer was just sick enough, making him so easy to hate.

One thing I didn’t understand, or like, was how often Cam and Sophia were in bed together, every chapter or two, when in actuality they had broken up months ago. Why did we keep jumping into the past? I didn’t really get that. It really didn’t hurt the story but it did seem extremely unnecessary.

Oh, I did love, love, love Cam and Sophia. They tried so hard to be business-like but couldn’t keep their minds focused all the time. You could tell they had fallen in love during the weeks they were together but neither of them thought it would work so they went their separate ways. Although, it was actually Sophia that called it quits.

Their chemistry was so great, throughout the story. And there were some exciting bedroom scenes, too. There was swearing and the F-bomb was released 27 times.

The mystery and murder and mayhem this guy caused was a thrilling and exciting storyline. I’ve never read this author before but she’s awesome. Even though this was a CLIFFHANGER that I wasn’t aware of, because I despise cliffhangers, I’ve already got the other 2 books in the series and I can’t wait to get started on them.

As to the narrator: When I can just listen to a book without saying to myself “geez, this narrator sucks,” then that’s a good narrator. And when she reads with such terrific emotions, then it’s really good. And when everyone has their own voice, then it’s just excellent. When the bad guy had thoughts or was talking to himself Kate Zane was just awesome. He sounded like a madman was supposed to, and when he talked to Sophie it was just so horrible and thrilling all at once. I enjoyed every second of this book, thanks to the narrator. When narration can make me buy 2 more books of a cliffhanger series that really says a lot about the author.

I liked this one, sort of...

Good story, kept me listening until the end. My major problem was with the narrator. The book seemed to jump from timeline to timeline, she did not take any pause or indicate in anyway that the scene was changing. It was difficult for me to follow along on occasion.

Slow and confusing beginning

Would you listen to another book narrated by Kate Zane?

I would listen to another book narrated by Kate Zane if I didn't have another choice. If I didn't know anything about a series and I saw her name as the narrator, I wouldn't listen to it. If it is a series I enjoy and she is the narrator then, I have no choice. I felt she was trying too hard, her voice inflections were off, the only character I believed she did well with was Sophia.

Was Chasing Evil worth the listening time?

I don't normally listen to abridged copies but feel that maybe, this time, it would have been appropriate. It took me a long time to get into this book. I didn't really find it interesting until the last couple of hours. I hated the double story line; jumping back and forth from the past to the present, it wasn't done well and it was confusing.

Narrators Make or Break the Experience

I liked the book. I'm glad I discovered Kylie Grant, as I will be purchasing more of her books. My main criticism is regarding the narration. It is incredibly annoying for narrators to mispronounce words, especially cities mentioned in the books. In this book, the story took the characters to the town of Edina, MN. The narrator mispronounced Edina throughout the book. It is not pronounced "A dEEna". It's pronounced "eh dina", with a long I, like "DINE" or "FINE. It's not spelled in a way that the narrator should pronounce it with a long E. Makes no sense. Narrators should research pronunciation of words they aren't sure of. Also, I understand the need to use different inflection, tone, etc to differentiate between characters, but it makes no sense to use southern accents and Brooklyn accents in a story taking place in Iowa, just as a way to distinguish characters.. Sure, there can be transplants from those parts of the country there, but if that's the case, develop the characters a bit more and explain why they have southern or NE accents. These things really distract from the enjoyment of audio books. Sorry if that sounds petty,
