Killer Smile

De: Mary Stone

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

If looks can kill, a smile can be deadly.

Special Agent Stella Knox became an FBI agent to find the dirty cops responsible for her father’s murder and make them pay. But fresh out of Quantico, her first case has her seeking justice for a different victim—three of them, in fact.

The bodies of three teenage boys have turned up in a sleepy town outside of Nashville, TN. There’re no fingerprints, no DNA, and very little to connect the murders, except for a smiley face drawn in blood near two of the bodies. But why only two? The case makes zero sense, and the questions outnumber the answers.

Are the crimes related? Could it be the work of one calculating serial killer, or are they looking for three separate assailants?

One thing Stella knows for sure: someone is threatening the teenagers of small-town Cherry Farms, and they aren’t finished. As she and the team race against the clock to stop the nightmare that has descended upon this rural community, Stella has one more question...who will be next?

Enigmatic and gripping, Killer Smile is the first book in the new Stella Knox Series by bestselling author Mary Stone and Stacy O’Hare—a nail-biter that will make you wonder just how safe small towns really are.

Good story - terrible audio

It was very difficult to listen to the virtual voice. The story was good but I won't be listening to a virtual voice again. Several words were mispronounced and not a lot of emotion.

love the story. hated the virtual voice

ive read the series a few times. i saw there was an audio out of book one, and bought it without looking at who the narritor was. Virtual voice mispronounced main characters names along with other words throughout the book. Also, it did not emphasize words based on the emotion of the dialog properly (so sad or scared sounded happy or excited...) I was pretty disappointed. I love the Stella Knox series, she definitely deserves better than this.

Book was great, virtual voice… not so much

These books are good enough to invest in real people audio, not virtual. The kid crying in the book sounded like she was cheerleading rather than crying and stuttering.

Did not like the virtual voice

Really enjoyed the story but was not the biggest fan of the virtual voice ... you can definitely tell the difference between real narrators and this.

So……so

The storyline was okay and I made it thru to the end. What really destroyed listening do the book was the virtual performance. It was so bland and flat with no variance in the characters. I was really saddened with this book because I like Mary Stone’s books. I just hope she doesn’t continue to use virtual voices. If she does I won’t buy anymore.

ok

Hate non human reader \ virtual.,. cadence is off. effects are not. right. story ok

Not loving the “virtual voice”

I will not be listening to any others in “VV” mode. I just can’t warm up to it. Sound much too fake making it difficult to buy into the characters and story line.

No more a i

Story may have been OK, but so narration just doesn’t work. Won’t listen to any more of them

Couldn't Listen

This was my first attempt at virtual audiobook and it was horrendous. At first It was fine, but once the dialogue and anything with feeling begins it falls terrible flat with no inflection or emotion. I couldn't continue.

The ai narration is terrible and all but ruins an only passable story.

The story line was quite weak but passable. It was made worse by the terrible ai narration. There was a little of the cultural complaining that is common these days and it only weakens an already just passable story line. Mystery writers would be better served to save their personal social complaints for their social media and focus on character development and story depth in their books.

I’m not likely to try any more of this author’s books. I definitely will not listen to any more ai narrated books.
