Thin Ice

A Mystery

De: Paige Shelton

Narrado por: Suzie Althens

Beth Rivers is on the run - she’s doing the only thing she could think of to keep herself safe. Known to the world as thriller author Elizabeth Fairchild, she had become the subject of a fanatic’s obsession. After being held in a van for three days by her kidnapper, Levi Brooks, Beth managed to escape, and until he is captured, she's got to get away.

Cold and remote, Alaska seems tailor-made for her to hide out. Beth’s new home in Alaska is sparsely populated with people who all seem to be running or hiding from something, and though she accidentally booked a room at a halfway house, she feels safer than she’s felt since Levi took her. That is, until she’s told about a local death that’s a suspected murder. Could the death of Linda Rafferty have anything to do with her horror at the hands of Levi Brooks?

As Beth navigates her way through the wilds of her new home, her memories of her time in the van are coming back, replaying the terror and the fear - and threatening to keep her from healing, from reclaiming her old life again. Can she get back to normal, will she ever truly feel safe, and can she help solve the local mystery, if only so she doesn’t have to think about her own?

Siri becomes narrator

While the story line is pretty good, the narrator is not. Ms. Althens has a lovely voice, it is smooth and soothing, however she sounds like a robot. I keep thinking at any moment she's going to tell me that, "You will reach your destination in 1.8 miles." I wonder if she listens to what she's read after it's complete. I will finish this story out but will probably not listen to the remaining 3 books because of the narrator. But I can always just buy the books and read them.

Good book, terrible narration!!

I very nearly quit listening to this story several times, even though the plot and setting were interesting. The narration is literally the worst I've ever heard. Its as if a robot from Google Search is reading the book. The cadence is off, its sing songy, there is no emotional depth or realism to the readers voice . Its a real shame because the characters are actually all pretty interesting, quirky and complex, and the story is engaging. I pushed on and am listening to the second book, with the same issues. The series has a lot going for it but whoever chose the reader really did it an injustice.

Thrilling!!

My first book by Paige Shelton and a enjoyed it greatly! Looking forward to the sequel to Thin Ice.

Total Snoozefest…don’t do it

My book club chose this book and I literally listened at 1.7 speed just to get through it because it was so painfully slow….There wasn’t even a good twist or anything at the end! Please save yourself and chose another book.

Worst narrator ever. Terrible

The narrator was so bad, I could not listen anymore. I only lasted for 2 chapters.
