Publisher's summary

Inside a maximum-security prison cell, Abby Maddox is serving 20 years for slashing Seattle PD officer Jerry Isaac's throat during the harrowing capture of her former lover, serial killer Ethan Wolfe. To the demented fans, lunatics, and creeps on the outside, she is a celebrity. But to Jerry, now a private investigator whose scarred neck and tortured speech are daily reminders of Abby's vicious attack, she alone may be the key to solving a new wave of murders. Because this killer has been sending her love letters, and carving a message on the victims' bodies: Free Abby Maddox.

With the help of intuitive criminology student Danny Mercy, Puget Sound State professor Sheila Tao, and seasoned detective Mike Torrance, Jerry must coax the shattering truth from isolated, dangerous Abby - before her number one fan takes another life in the name of a killer's perverted idea of justice.

Character with vocal chord damage

I have to agree the narrators depiction of the character with vocal damage was extremely hard to listen to. Unfortunately the character is a main character therefore quickly becoming annoying. The narrator does a good job with the other characters. The book definitely kept my interest throughout but I was disappointed with the ending. Many unanswered questions.

Good Story; Questionable Narration.

I really like the author and she does a good job telling a story. I did like this one but it fell just a little bit short of my expectations only because I felt the author could have fleshed out the characters just a little bit more. But overall it was a good story. As for the narrator, she had her moments in which she sold the story very well but it appears she has challenges in speaking certain phrases. I'm not sure if it's a struggle working around dental work or recovery from a stroke or perhaps some other issue but it was distracting at times. I'm looking forward to the next installment, however, and I do hope the narration improves.

Great Book

I don’t know why people complained about the narrator in other reviews. I think she did a fantastic job!

Very interesting listen, worth the credit

Story picked up from the first book but it can stand alone. The writer had you guessing. Bring on book three. Talmadge Ragan brought the story to life; she did an excellent job.

Awesome sequel to Creep

I loved this story. Quick, easy to listen to and very fast paced. The performance was meh, would have been better if there were men voicing certain characters.

Terrible narration

I love this author and all her other books, but this story was just ok, and the narration was just awful.
