"Be prepared for a knuckle-biting journey that'll keep you turning pages until the very end." ( Faye Kellerman)

A great listen!

This was the first of Ms. Burke's works that I've listened ... good story that kept my attention from beginning to end! I'll definately listen to more of her work!

Southern Accent?

I'm only halfway through the book so far. The story line is ok, but the narrator uses a slight southern accent for several characters. The story takes place in New York City and the characters are police officers. Ummm....what? The characters that are portrayed from Indiana have no accents. It is a bit annoying to listen to.

Good Listen

Alafair Burke has a place in my library of must listen to authors. This is my first chance to get one of her books and I am delighted I did. Well written and great story. It flowed well and kept my interested the entire time.
While I think the story line is good, I think the character developement is lacking. Perhaps she is saving that for later books. Most characters were very shallow in revealing much about themselves to the listener, except for Hatcher. I think it would have been interesting to have more background on the killer. More about why he/she is doing what they are doing. This made it difficult to really empathize with them. Alafair Burke is an author to watch as time goes on. I can see nothing but better and better writings. This is only her 3rd book. She is just getting her feet wet.

Great characters and story develops quickly

This book held my interest non stop, the characters are well defined and drawn. The story moves quickly, never a rehashing of the details. From start to finish held my attention. While I had suspicions that I knew who the villain was about half way through, there was still enough doubt to keep me guessing.

I definitely will be listening to more work from Alafair Burke!

I hope the narrator has a day job.

I think Alastair Burke is a fine writer. The narrator's accents are ridiculous and distracting. The Brooklyn detective with some sort of Georgia drawl?
What? Because he's black? She sounds like she's reading to a kindergarten class. if you can get past the cringe-worthy narrator, the story is ok.
