Not what I expected, but okay

The cover of "Acoustic Shadows" (2015) by Patrick Kendrick shows a woman peering around a corner obviously facing danger. However, she actually plays a supporting role in the story. The main character is a male law enforcement officer assigned to investigate a mass school shooting at an elementary school in Florida, where the woman shot the two assailants with a gun she carried in her purse. The story is somewhat interesting and the narration by Scott Ellis is effective but I was never able to get over the false advertising. Barely recommended. Book given free for an honest review.

wow I'm very impressed with story

wow, this was a tough story to get through. since this is such a heart wrenching and so close to life. I'm saying this book will bother u not because it's bad but because it's that good and so real and frighting. if realistic novels bother u then I think this story will play on ur mind. but I found it a edge of ur sest, heart beating hard and tears to ur eyes. honest review for the book to listen to.

Very Exciting Action/Suspense a la Patterson.

Would you consider the audio edition of Acoustic Shadows to be better than the print version?

Audio books are always better than print because you can listen while driving or doing chores. They are the ultimate multi-tasking chore.

Who was your favorite character and why?

That is a toss-up between Erica and Theory. Erica is a strong, resourceful character who survives multiple attacks on her life. She thinks quickly on her feet. She hides the children during the attack on the school and finds an opportunity to shoot back.

Theory is a police officer who embodies the nobility and bravery of police work. He is an honest and dutiful ex-football player who cares about doing what is right. He also has no patience for office politics.

What does Scott Ellis bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The narrator gives a very good performance with unique voices for each character. This is a fast paced story that benefits from Ellis' style.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

This is a great story. It is not political. It is not pro or anti gun. Both sides are presented in a realistic way without being the focus of the story. Rather opinions are organically and realistically expressed as part of the story (but not an important part). It is an action story with an interesting premise, good dialogue, intricate plot, and good action scenes with graphically realistic violence.

Any additional comments?

This book contains a two mild sex scenes and realistically graphic violence. The violence is an organic part of the story. I received this book for free from the author, narrator, or publisher in exchange for an honest review.

Great thriller

It was a great thrilling ride. I enjoyed the book a lot. Well developed plot and characters.

My only compliant would be the editing. There is a lot of background noise that is very evident when u speed up play.

Mixed feelings

A good audiobook usually produces laughter or tears. This produced groans over the sometimes corny dialogue and occasional factual errors. However the story was so entertaining and the action nonstop I still enjoyed this book.
