Dead Ringer

De: Allen Wyler

Narrado por: Ray Chase

While speaking at a Hong Kong medical conference, neurosurgeon Dr. Lucas McCrae slips the cloth off a cadaver's head during a routine medical demonstration, and is overwhelmed with the shock by what's staring back at him: His best friend, Andy Baer.

Stunned, McCrae races back to Seattle to discover that Andy is in fact missing and may have been murdered by a gang of body snatchers who operate a legit funeral business and make a fortune by selling recovered body parts to medical researchers.

McCrae teams up with an unlikely pair - a beautiful but hard nosed female cop and a gang member whose family was victimized by the body parts ring - to try and expose a macabre web of corruption that involves law enforcement, politicians, funeral home curators and murdered prostitutes.

Internationally renowned neurosurgeon Allen Wyler takes us deep into a nightmarish scenario, shockingly ripped from recent headlines, and delivers a horrifically plausible, pause resisting thriller.

Very Good Story but Frustrated by the Narration

The story was believable in today's environment and kept my interest throughout.

My review is primarily related to the narration, which would have been viewed as good except for the
extreme variance in volume, I read other reviews that primarily noticed this in autos, but I found it
to be a problem even in a quiet environment.

It is with regret that I give the Narrator such a low rating, because it is based entirely on his volume variance, but that alone diminished the listening experience.

I would be less likely to choose another book that he has narrated.

Great Book

  Another far-fetched story that I enjoyed.  Although Wyler continues to write stories that are far fetched if not completely unrealistic, I still enjoyed this book. And who knows, maybe this is really plausible.

Good book

After reading the reviews I was doubtful about this book. I’m glad to say I was pleasantly surprised. Story was good, narration was good and it held my interest from the first page to the last. I definitely recommend it.

Just Skip It

The story isn’t terrible, it’s the narration that’s awful. The narrator does all of the women voices in a soft meek whisper. The guys voices are performed in a loud booming confident voice. This book is irky on so many levels.

Great story but the narrator varies

I enjoyed the story but the narrator wildly varies the volume of his voice - which drives me nuts if I'm trying to relax OR listening via ear buds.

otherwise believable characters and great prose.
