Never Tell

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

★★★★★"Never Tell is a compelling, engrossing mystery brilliantly written by Kate Anslinger, a writer in the same league as mystery writer Lisa Scottoline." —Peter Tanous, author of The Secret of Fatima

Detective Grace McKenna has a gift. When she looks into the eyes of criminals, she is inundated with glimpses of their crimes.

In book three of the McKenna Mystery Series, Grace finds herself face to face with a school principal holding on to a haunting past. When Grace makes eye contact with Principal Jack Whittaker on a routine visit to an elementary school, she is confronted with visions of a disturbed woman who is struggling to convey a message. In Never Tell, flashes of a heavily made-up face, a red rope that seems to lead to nowhere, and a rainy night in a familiar field, take Grace to places outside of Bridgeton to solve a crime that she hopes will help heal the town. Armed with the few clues that she has from a missing person case in the eighties, Grace untangles the mystery alongside a questionable witness.

The narration was not good. It was unnatural.

I did not like the AI voice. Cadence and lack of emotion was off putting and made it boring.

The story was good, the narration was bad

The virtual voice narrative was not good. It was hard to figure out the change in character talking, because the voice never changed its monotone. It did not add to the story, and I ended up reading the story quickly to get through it so that I would not have to listen to the virtual voice anymore.

Couldn’t get past the awful narration.

I really wanted to listen to the story but only made it to chapter 6. That AI voice was so terrible, I gave up!! No inflection or emotion, and the unnatural breaks made it hard to connect with the characters. I think I’ll stay away from anymore AI narrated books. If I ever have time I will actually sit down and read it myself.
