This audio circumvents a pretty decent story.

The story itself isn't bad. it's a bit cliche and the language is repetitive to increase the page count, which is very annoying once you realize it's intentional.

The bevy of characters this book attemps to cover is interesting because some get names and others don't and there is no rhyme or reason to any of it. It's gotta be difficult to write so many voices.

There's a lot of "telling" to push the story along and even provide exposition, which is understandable, BUT not if you look at how certain things are done just to increase the page count.

I can't say I was fully immersed in the story, but I was definitely interested to see how it all worked out and found the principal characters interesting, especially the dynamic between Beanie and the detective.

Overall I thought it was "ok" on delivery, but the entire thing is made worse by that horrible AI narration. Next time, please splurge to get a proper narrator or a better program.
