I loved that even though this is the ninth book of series, I was able to listen to this book and feel right at home with all of the characters. Gus makes you fall into his everyday life, taking care of Joe and dealing with his teenage stepdaughter, Shelby. I would love to be a guest at one of his meals! With that being said, getting to know the characters and meeting Shelby's real father as he gets out of jail, finding out what she thinks the relationship there should be and what he wants, and who is under the ice? So much going on, you get sucked in and just keep listening.


Lou Hecker does n amazing job narrating this. His voice is very rich and warm, but is able to portray the young, old, accents...amazing portrayal.

I started listening to this book because it was provided by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review courtesy of AudiobookBlast dot com.

I did not realize that it was the ninth book in a very long series. At first I thought the author had left out a lot detail, for instance a one line mention that the daughter had been in a comma most of her life. I realized that I had jumped into the middle of a soap opera and the character development had been going on through the previous eight books.

That being said, I am reviewing this from the position of this book as a standalone and not one of a series. I liked the book in that the story was relatively complete once you got to the end. Overall the story was interesting and it kept me listening to it each day until complete. I thought the author spent too much time on the relationships in the book, especially Gus's grandchildren. It was like sitting and watching someone play with their grandchildren and not being able to walk away after the initial cuteness wore off quickly. That combined with the sappy voice of the narrator was a little too much at times.

The narrator's female voices were just plain annoying to me. His voice was either too high or too deep for a regular woman, and it felt like he was trying too hard to make the women dramatic, much more than the men.

Overall the story is decent, the characters are interesting, but there is too much time spent on daily interactions that no one cares about, except if your into soap operas. The narrator adds to that distraction and adds too much drama to the book in his voice.

If you liked the review please hit the thumbs up button below.

Not a mystery writer that I like.

Too boring.

Lou has a good listening voice.

Not at all.

No. The dialog was a little awkward. I had trouble forming a strong sense of what kind of guy Gus is. At first he came off as a really sweet guy (loving husband, good step dad, grandpa, son-in-law, chef, prof), then there were section where I really wanted him to toughen up..into a Jack Reacher kind of guy. It never really happened. His reference to "pal" and "buddy" made me think he was talking to a child or a pet. Not a good friend or mentor.

No. Though it was fun to listen to a book based around an area which I am familiar.

Eventually. Mr. Hecker had a nice character range. Unfortunately, some of the characters (Matty, Sig) were too much and took away from the story. Too many pauses threw off the overall rhythm. Some breaths were unnecessary and distracting. I would like to hear some of Mr. Lazar's work in the future. He has a nice sound.

Family and friends are a very important part of Under the Ice. The relationships among the characters was warm and believable. Other than that, the rest of the story was slow going. Since this is the 9th book in the series, I wonder if I would have liked it more if I had read the other books in the series first. The narrator was ok, but the voices of some of the characters were fake and whiny.

It takes way too long to develop.

I'd give him one more try.

He did a fine job a slow moving book.

It was OK, but just barely.
