Cold to Her Bones

A Psychological Thriller

De: Cate Anderson

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

He’s already murdered eight women. Now, he’s coming for me.

We find her on a grey November day on Dartmoor, England.

I’m excavating a Bronze-Age cairn, expecting to find a burial urn and maybe some bronze tools if I’m really lucky. And then I see her fingers poking through the soil as if she’s trying to claw her way out of her grave. I’m an osteoarchaeologist, used to dealing with bones, and I know immediately she’s been in the ground for months rather than thousands of years.

Then I find a message in the grave that’s clearly meant for me.

It turns out the girl is the eighth victim of a serial killer, and now I’m convinced that the murderer knows me. It’s making me look at everyone in a different light – colleagues, family, and friends. My life is disintegrating around me, and I want to run. But if I do, I know I’ll never stop. It’s time to make a stand.

hated the virtual voice

I hated the virtual voice narration. It was monotonous and put me to sleep. I will never listen to another virtual voice narration.

Great story and compelling to keep listening.

I dislike the AI reading. incorrect inflections. The voice also pronounced words incorrectly. It makes it harder to listen to.

Good story, not so great virtual voice

The storyline was well put together, characters well defined and enough intrigue to keep the pace going. No major surprises and ending was a bit predictable but all around it's a good short read/listen.
The virtual voice was not the absolute worst I've ever heard but it was also not great. Couldnt decide how to say the sisters name and would switch it up constantly. Inflection were very off and read sentence structure very oddly. Please just get actual people to read the books.

Loved the story - didn’t love the virtual voice narration

I actually really loved this book, once I forced myself to see (or hear) past the virtual voice narration. All things considered I think the British voice really helped me to see past the narration, but it would have been so much better with a voice actor.

So many mysteries with a female protagonist end up with the climax being an abduction, and then the female somehow getting away, and I was really grateful that this book took a totally different approach.

I also appreciate the use of LGBT characters and some brief insight into some of the rejection that they sometimes experience (life lessons on how NOT to treat people!). :)
Overall awesome.

loved the characters

this is my first book by the author and she did a great job with the story. I'm definitely not through with her!!!!!
