Beyond Reach

Grant County, Book 6

De: Karin Slaughter

Narrado por: Joyce Bean

In a stifling jail cell in a hardscrabble Georgia town, Detective Lena Adams sits in stubborn silence: bruised, angry, and the only suspect in a horrific murder that left a woman incinerated beyond recognition. One hundred miles away, Police Chief Jeffrey Tolliver has gotten the call that his young detective has been arrested. Jeffrey's wife, pediatrician and medical examiner Sara Linton, has little patience for Lena or her dramas. Fighting a heartbreaking malpractice suit, struggling to pick up the pieces of a shattered career, the last thing Sara needs is to see Jeffrey playing Lena's knight in shining armor. Sara cannot guess that within days she herself will be at the center of a bizarre and murderous case.

Lena has fled back to the place where she grew up hard, careening back through the shadows of her past and into a shocking underground world of bigotry and rage. The man who raised her is slowly killing himself with drugs. The man who beguiled - and beat - her is reaching out from prison. And now only Jeffrey and Sara can free Lena from the web of lies, betrayal, and brutality that has trapped her - as this powerhouse of a novel races toward its shattering climax...and a final, unforgettable twist.

Good book bad performance

Joyce Bean may as well be a digitally created voice. No emotion at all. Ruins the book

Kathleen Early

Agree with all the other reviews in that the narration was awful. They need to stick with Kathleen Early who narrates most of Slaughter’s books!

great author and story, awful narrator

the narrator was super monotone and made it difficult to distinguish which character was speaking. there was a lack of emotion in her voice and I only finished the audiobook because i have loved the grant series.

Sorry

I like The normal reader the last two books have been hard to get through sorry

Bad Narrator

Didn’t like the ending it the book or the series, the narrator had the male characters sound like old women. Back to the Will Trent series.
