The River’s Secret

A Sophie Quinn FBI Mystery Thriller, Book 1

De: Georgia Wagner

Narrado por: Alexis Travis

A cold knife, a brutal laugh.

Then the odds-defying escape.

Once a hypnotist with her own TV show, now, Sophie Quinn works as a full-time consultant for the FBI. Everything changed six years ago. She can still remember that horrible night. Slated to be the River Killer's tenth victim, she managed to slip her bindings and barely escape where so many others failed. Her sister wasn't so lucky.

And now the killer is back.

Two PHDs later, she's now a rising star at the FBI. Her photographic memory helps solve crimes, but also helps her to never forget. She saw the River Killer's tattoo. She knows what he sounds like. And now, ten years later, he's active again.

Sophie Quinn heads back home to the swamps of Louisiana, along the Mississippi River, intent on evening the score and finding the man who killed her sister. It's been six years since she's been home, though. Broken relationships and shattered dreams exist among the bayous, the rivers, the waterways and swamps of Louisiana; can Sophie find her way home again? Or will she be the River Killer's next victim to float downstream?

Narrator simply reads

The book overall I think would be good. I do regret not just reading it. The narrator’s voice is fine it’s the fact that she simply read the book with zero inflections, emotion or voice change.

Great Story - Narrator ruined it

This is a great story, and I really enjoy the content. The narration, though, feels a bit like it’s training for a marathon—very fast-paced with few pauses. At times, repeated sentences and the lack of clear breaks between chapters make it tricky to follow, especially when scenes shift quickly without much transition. I’ve found myself restarting a few times just to keep everything straight. With a little more pacing and clearer separation, it would be much easier to stay immersed in the story.

Worst reader ever

Story’s not bad but the reader is terrible. I couldn’t finish the book because the reader really irritated me.

I just liked the book. Not the story, especially but the reader.

I did not finish the book. It was the worst money I’ve ever spent. So poorly read. No break between chapters. No inflection in any single word. Read way too fast. Slowing the text down only made the listening that much more painful.
