BLACK In The Box (BLACK #5)

De: Russell Blake

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Artemis Black's world is coming apart in the days leading up to Christmas. His relationship is on the rocks, he's struggling to make ends meet, he's gone days without sleep, and when he's called in to investigate a brutal murder at a big box store in Long Beach, he's at the end of his rope. Racing the clock to clear a young woman's name before she's charged with homicide, Black gets more than he bargained for, and finds himself enmeshed in a web of deceit and betrayal that will require every ounce of his and Roxie's sleuthing prowess if they're to survive the night.

Stop with the AI VOICE

I love RC Bray and search out books he narrates. That is how I found this series. I listened to the first 4 books and really enjoyed them. I I have gotten to know and appreciate these characters and this story line. Unfortunately, AI ruined it. I can fully understand wanting to give AI a try but RC Bray gave life to these characters and AI choked them out in the back of a minivan and buried them in a shallow grave. So sad.

The poor virtual narrative was bad.

Loved books black 1-4 but the 5th with virtual narrative was horrible could not finish the book.

AI Narrator ruined it.

The 4 book Black set narrated by R.C. Bray was excellent!

I totally enjoyed all 4 books especially with all the witty banter between Black and Roxy. However, this 5th book with the AI Narrator ruined the writing and was almost unlistenable. Mr. Blake, I like your writing but the AI Narrator was a bad idea and turned your interesting and well written book into something awful.

AI voice

I will not buy another virtual voice book again. It ruins the story. Very disappointed.

First four in series were wonderful!

LIstening to the first four Black books by Russell Blake was delightful, had me laughing outloud at the snappy and well-read dialogue. R.C. Bray, as narrator, did a fabulous job bringing these books to life as funny, unusual and expressing great characters. Black #5, however, was dull. Story was still good and clever, however, the narration was pretty bad, mispronounced words, very boring, not good inflection which really made this listening experience very dull. I will probably not listen to any more books using virtual voice.

AI reading was terrible

If i could have givgiving it a minus 4 stars i would have- I would have rather listened to someone with their mouth wired shut read this instead of AI. the worst reading... I am a fan of the BLACK BOOK SET.. but not this AI reading this book.. completely ruined the storyline and characters.. go back to paying someone with a pulse to read!!

Absolutely not!

This has been a great series until someone decided AI was the way to narrate. I hope Black comes back in the voice of RC Bray.

Don't Waste Your Time

I feel owed something for finishing this book with virtual voice. I'm going back and listening to books 1-4 as a palate cleanser.

Painful

The story might have been better than I'm giving it credit for because the A.I. narration was painful. Just... DON'T!

NO TO VURTUAL VOICE

virtual voice terrible. have listened to other black nooks with a human voice, virtual voice didn't guve the characters depth.
