Publisher's summary

Shoot-out, Sara Linton - paediatrician and medical examiner - finds herself entangled in a horrific tragedy. And what seems at first to be a terrible but individual catastrophe proves to have wider implications when the autopsy reveals evidence of long-term abuse and ritualistic self-mutilation. Sara and police chief Jeffrey Tolliver start to investigate, but the children surrounding the victim close ranks. The families turn their backs. Then a young girl is abducted, and it becomes clear that the first death is linked to an even more brutal crime. And unless Sara and Jeffrey can uncover the deadly secrets the children hide, it's going to happen again....

The story is read by 13 year old with a reading age of 8.

Anyone can just ‘read’ aloud. Only good readers can give the book some life. This narrator could not do more than read rather badly. She kept getting emphasis and inflection wrong which results in sentences not making sense. She also races so you can’t follow any of it.

Frustrating and hugely detracts from the story.

Great story awful narrator

The story is amazing I’ve read it a number of times but thought hey I’ll listen instead!
What a big big big mistake. The narrator is just awful. In fact I couldn’t finish the story. None of the characters had passion none of them had different voices, most males in the story sounded more like females and the females more like males.

Do you remember sitting in class and the teacher asked a class mate to read out loud?! Well this woman is worse it was short, clipped & monotone. “I said she said he said we did”

Karin Slaughters books are amazing and I am so disappointed to have to write this... please note, read the book do not listen to this awful mess

Shocking but brilliant!

I couldn't wait to get started on the 2nd book in this Grant County series and I wasn't disappointed in anyway! Kisscut is shocking in places but kept me engaged the whole time and every time I finished a chapter, I couldn't wait to start the next! The subject is dark but the book is brilliant and Karin Slaughter yet again has done herself proud. Now can't wait to start the next one!

Great story poor narrator

I read all these books many years ago and really enjoyed them so thought I’d revisit them again on audible. The stories are still as great as I remembered but oh the dull voice of the narrator and her poor voices for characters made it a hard listen alas. Such a shame as with a better narrator these audiobooks would be outstanding. But that’s my opinion and others may not mind her voice in which case there’s a really good disturbing yet totally believable story here that makes you feel such sympathy and pure anger at the characters which to me means it’s good storytelling to get me emotionally involved with the characters.

Good story but awful narrator

The narrator is awful, I had to change the speed settings to get through it. Very monotone, terrible character voices etc. BUT as usual the writing was good on Karin Slaughter’s side. Not her best but worth a listen.

Great story

I loved the storyline but i couldn't help but to think that it was read by Siri or Alexa. I couldn't get used to that.

Touchy subject for some.

Enjoyed the story but would have been better with a different narrator. Not much emotion.

Great story, unexpected

Real page Turner and exciting twists. You get drawn to believe certain characters and then get a real shock when truth comes out. Loved it

Kisscut

Although I enjoyed the story line I was not taken with the reader. Not as good as the first book of this series. However I am looking forward to the next one

Narrator issue

I would not recommend this book, the narrator is very stilted and stiff. This makes it extremely difficult to follow the plot.

Audio malfunction

That book was a disaster but the biggest and hardest thing to get through was the reader, horrible monotone voice.

The book is great, really bad audio quality in the last few hours

The story is phenomenal. But there is an unbearable scratching sound every time the narrator speaks for the last 3 hours of the book. It’s so distracting I had to stop listening to the book.

Scratchy

Sounds like your headphones have blown but it’s the recording. Also some bizarre music placed by someone who wasn’t listening to the recording? All through, randomly, not at the beginning or end of chapters, pages, or even paragraphs at one point.

My recording was defective.

Towards the last three chapters there was a clicking sound audible throughout the reading. Additionally, not a fan of this performance.
