Martin Misunderstood

De: Karin Slaughter

Narrado por: Wayne Knight

Martin Reed is thoroughly average in every way. So how has he wound up with such a pathetic existence? Martin has no friends, no lovers, and no respect. Working as a senior accountant at Southern Toilet Supply and still living with his nagging mother, his sole source of excitement is the crime novels he cherishes.

So immersed is Martin in these escapes that he fails to notice the crimes going on all around him. When first one, then another, of his co-workers is brutally murdered, Martin is shocked to become the fetching female investigator's prime suspect. Center stage at last, Martin basks not in the glow of the spotlight, but in the harsh glare of interrogation.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Slaughter sketches larger-than-life characters using only a few ordinary, hilarious, and revealing details, and narrator Wayne Knight...gives each an energetic, gloomy, or appropriately over-the-top personality." ( AudioFile)

Wayne brought Martin to life!

The story was intriguing and humorous, but it was Wayne's narration that really brought Martin to life. In the end, with all of his flaws, I liked Martin and even understood his mothers flawed logic.

Gentle character finds peace.

I enjoy the Karin Slaughter series.

This is totally different!

The story unfolds and the background information is released slowly leading to the conclusion. The culprit is easily identifiable, but the conclusion is a bit of a twist. It leaves me with a satisfied feeling at the conclusion of a murder mystery instead of the depravity of some stories. One hopes that the perpetrator gets justice sometime in the future.

Wayne Knight does an outstanding job of narrating. Each character's voice and personality are reccognizable.

The narrator

The story was pretty silly nothing like her other books and I was very disappointed.

Martin misunderstood hilarious!

This is SO different from all of the novels by Karin Slaughter, but it showcases her truly multidimensional talent. This story is delightful! Truly a laugh out loud story with a masterful performance by Seinfeld star Wayne Knight (Newman!)

Funny, loveable main characters. Ending a surpris

I loved it . . . the whole story. Humor suspense and sex crudeness, The hero has to win . . doesn't he. Sniffles and laugh out loud fun to last page. Narratíon elicit just the right kind of emotion
