Murder 42 - A Thriller

De: Victor Methos

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Murder 42 was the title of the homemade video that shocked Scottsdale detectives and special agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The killer on the video never reveals his face, and with few leads, the FBI doesn't believe they will ever find him. The video falls into the lap of Special Agent Gio Adami, now an Assistant Special Agent in Charge in the prestigious Behavioral Science Unit, and he turns to the one person he knows can help him: Sarah King. The video shocks Sarah to her core and leads her on a bloody quest to find the monster who made it, and to the one place she doesn't want to go: into her own mind. With Murder 42, bestselling author Victor Methos creates a breathtaking thriller taking you from the art galleries of Los Angeles, to the seedy pornography dens of Arizona. Revealing aspects of our society most people know nothing about, he illuminates that place from which all evil stems: the human heart.

Voice

Interesting enough story but I honestly couldn’t get past the artificial voice. Not so bad at first but as the story became more emotional and the voice stayed the same I just couldn’t listen anymore. Maybe wouldn’t be so bad on something nonfiction but this type of story is impossible to listen to without emotion in my opinion.

Worst Narration!

The virtual voice narration is terrible. Laughable and distracting. There are often many mispronounced words in ONE sentence. The voices are all the same so that it is impossible to know who is speaking. The narration is flat. The voice has NO intonation. The story is good but I am returning this title unfinished.

Murder 42

Great story and another great book from Victor Methos. However, they used a virtual reader to perform/read the book. I’ll never purchase another audible book with a bot reading it. The bot mispronounced many of the names and words, there wasn’t any emotion to keep you engaged. The performance can make or break a book. And it killed this book.

Great follow up to the first book

I am glad the Sarah King Story continues - and it looks like there will be more. Story was great and the villain is particularly evil. "Virtual Voice" narration leaves something to be desired - lots of mispronounced words and strange inflections. The voice is very realistic and not robotic but the subtleties of the English language are often missing

Good Story - Bad Narration

This book was very slow moving for such a short book it took me forever to get thru it and I had to keep starting it over and over. The AI narrator may have been the problem because of the voice intonations were inappropriate and mispronunciations throughout. Just would have been so much better with a human.

Overall, it was slow and kind of boring in the beginning but I did like the last 2 hours of the book, less the narration.

I am a big fan of Methos, but the last two books have been disappointing, but I will keep the faith in the next ones.
