Bloodless

De: Douglas Preston, Lincoln Child

Narrado por: Jefferson Mays

An instant #1 New York Times bestseller

Agent Pendergast faces his most unexpected challenge yet when bloodless bodies begin to appear in Savannah, Georgia.

A fabulous heist:

On the evening of November 24, 1971, D. B. Cooper hijacked Flight 305—Portland to Seattle—with a fake bomb, collected a ransom of $200,000, and then parachuted from the rear of the plane, disappearing into the night … and into history.

A brutal crime steeped in legend and malevolence:

Fifty years later, Agent Pendergast takes on a bizarre and gruesome case: bodies are found with no blood left in their veins—sowing panic and reviving whispered tales of the infamous Savannah Vampire.

A case like no other:

As the mystery rises along with the body count, Pendergast and his partner, Agent Coldmoon, race to understand how—or if—these murders are connected to the only unsolved skyjacking in American history.

Together, they uncover not just the answer… but an unearthly evil beyond all imagining.

Should I buy the book?

I own all of the Preston and Child titles, my favorite authors, this audio version is the worst I have ever heard. The quality is not very good, the volume comes and goes making it hard to listen in a car. As for the narrator he struggles badly with female voices, he flat out ruins Constance Green in this story. I am seriously considering buying the book because the audio is ruining the story for me.

FINALLY!

Jefferson Mays is back! I had to return this book last year because of the terrible narration by the previous narrator. I was so excited when I found the narration had a redo and Jefferson Mays is back. Rene is missed but Jefferson Mays is just as good. Thank you!!

Good Story, Horrible Narration and Production

As usual, Preston and Child came up with a good story. Some of the other Pendergast books have been better, but this was entertaining...

I could barely hear and understand the narrator. His attempts at a soft-spoken southern accent were usually difficult to hear when driving - I'm not sure if this was the fault of the narrator or the producer, but it certainly impacted my enjoyment of the book. Scott Brick and Rene Auberjonois were FAR better...

The narrator just ruined it for me

I pre-ordered this books a while ago and was really looking forward to it until the narrator just ruined it for me. His Constance voice was terrible and made it really hard to concentrate on the story.

Great except for narration

The narrator has managed to make not only Constance but also Pendergast sound like Katherine Hepburn in her golden years, most annoying.
