The Dark Tide

De: Andrew Gross

Narrado por: Melissa Leo

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Blue Zone comes this second mesmerizing thriller about a woman who must unravel the secrets from her dead husband's past.

An explosion rips through New York City's Grand Central Station, destroying the train Karen Friedman's husband, a successful hedge fund manager, is riding in to work. On the same day, there's a suspicious hit-and-run accident in Karen's hometown of Greenwich, Connecticut, and Ty Hauck, a detective, finds a clue that shockingly connects the two seemingly unrelated events.

Months later, two men show up at Karen's home digging into Charles' business dealings. Hundreds of millions of dollars are missing—and the trail points squarely to Charles. Suddenly Karen, with Hauck, steps into a widening storm of hedge fund losses, international scams and murder. And as the investigations converge, these two strangers are pulled into a twisted—and deadly—conspiracy. With its breakneck pacing, plentiful twists, compelling characters, and abundant heart, The Dark Tide confirms Andrew Gross' place as a master storyteller at the top of his game.

A good story

While I agree with some of the other reviewer's I have to rate this as one of the better mysteries I've listened to recently. This is in the class of Michael Connelly or Stephen J. Cannell. A good story with plenty of twists and turns, some obvious, some not. I don't usually like female readers but Mellissa Leo did an excellent job. I think she does male voices a lot better than a lot of male readers do female voices. You'll like this story. Worth the credit. Definitely.

Just ok

I am such a huge fan of Andrew Gross that I couldn't wait to start this one. A bit disappointing. Also, because of the audio book I will now check the name of the narrator before I start a new book. I felt like I was listening to an elementary school teacher. There was so much whining. I'm not one to DNF but I really came close on this one.

Good story

A bit too contrived but interesting. Good job of narration. I did like it. I have listened to a future book with a different narrator. This one pronounced the detectives name as “Howk “ the other one pounced it “Hawk”.

Being an Andrew Gross fan…

This would be his fifth title that I have enjoyed. Although it dragged and was a bit repetitive in spots, the story held my interest and the narrator expressed the various character voices quite convincingly. I want more, but the one thing that I absolutely hated… whose idea was it to randomly include bass heavy symphonic dramatic musical interludes? They are unnecessary and quite annoying especially as they run into and overbear onto the story dialogue. I would edit those out. But fir now, I am onto my next Andrew Gross Audible selection.

Patterson, move over

I have always loved James Patterson but his last several books have been a disappontment. when I came across this book by Andrew Gross, I was excited as I loved his work when he co-authored with Patterson. I was not dissapointed at all. It is great!! I would drive around the block to wait to get to a part where I could stop. I would bring my ipod in just so I could continue to listen to this book. I highly recommend this book. My next purchase will be another Andrew Gross book.
