Hello, Transcriber

A Novel

De: Hannah Morrissey

Narrado por: Angela Dawe

Hannah Morrissey's Hello, Transcriber is a captivating mystery suspense debut featuring a female police transcriber who goes beyond the limits to solve a harrowing case.

Every night, while the street lamps shed the only light on Wisconsin’s most crime-ridden city, police transcriber Hazel Greenlee listens as detectives divulge Black Harbor’s gruesome secrets. An aspiring novelist, Hazel believes that writing a book could be her only ticket out of this frozen hellscape, but her life isn’t exactly brimming with inspiration. Until her neighbor confesses to hiding the corpse of an overdose victim.

With an insider’s look at the investigation, Hazel becomes spellbound by the lead detective, Nikolai Kole, and the chilling narrative he shares with her. Through his transcription, she learns that the suspicious death is linked to Candy Man—a drug dealer notorious for selling illegal substances to children—and when Kole invites her on a covert operation to help take the dealer down, the promise of a story calls to her. As the investigation unfolds, Hazel will discover just how far she will go for her story, even if it means destroying her marriage, her career, and any chance she has of getting out of Black Harbor alive. Because if she’s learned one relentless truth about this place, it’s the fact that everybody lies.

"Narrator Angela Dawe assumes a millennial's exasperated tone, endearing listeners to Hazel Greenlee, a wannabe novelist."—AudioFile

Hello, Transcriber

This book was amazing. I was pulled in by the story, captivated by the who dun it, and completely in love with Hannah’s writing!! Her verbiage was so intoxicating!

Enjoyable

This was more of a casual read for me and I enjoyed it for what it was. I liked the story and flew through this pretty quickly.

Meh.

This was ok. Atmospheric. But is it an atmosphere I want to spend time in? Also, is this a thriller, mystery or romance? Idk. It wasn’t terrible. But it wasn’t great.

Loved this book!

The narrator did such a great job and I loved the book as well. The main character was complex and I absolutely love Morrissey’s writing style.

What was the point of “El”

I would rather have heard about why Hazel’s marriage was the way it was rather than “El” once being Elliot. It brought nothing to the story. 🙄
