No Stone Unturned

A Lexi Carmichael Mystery, Book 11

De: Julie Moffett

Narrado por: Kristin Watson Heintz

Geek girl Lexi Carmichael thought getting engaged would mean calmer days ahead. But when Slash's past brings up more questions than answers, she's not going to let anything - or anyone - drive them apart.

Getting engaged is supposed to be a fun, exciting time in a girl's life. But things are never that easy for Slash and me. Instead, someone is threatening to expose Slash's past - a past so secret, even I know very little about it.

Before I can get used the weight of Nonna's antique ring on my finger, he's on his way to Rome...and we're farther apart than we've ever been. Still, I have no intention of sitting at home and letting him take on the Vatican by himself.

With a little expert-level hacking, I learn Slash is keeping secrets from me. Big ones. Dangerous ones. In fact, the more I dig into Slash's past, the more I discover things about him I never knew - things that eventually pit us against each other.

From Rome to the Amalfi coast to the highest levels of the Vatican, we both race to discover the truth. No matter what I find, we're officially a team now, so I won't let him face this alone. Even if I don't know if our relationship can survive it.

Narration

I love all the Lexi Carmichael books. However this time it sounds like the narrator just got brand new braces and is suffering through the narration. Very hard to listen to the narrator but the plot is good.

Slash’s story

This is Slash’s history. Lexi proved her mettle in helping him. Some very funny situations and scary times. The reader sounds like she has new braces or dentures. I went back to see if she was the same reader as on previous books. She still does a great Slash.

Disappointed in Narration

The narrator sounds like she’s talking with a retainer in her mouth. Heavy lisping on all “S” and “Sh” sounds. Not exaggerating.

I like Lexi because she struggles with adapting to change and is frequently outside her comfort zone, but moves forward regardless. Now the exasperation and stress she feels when confronted with a new situation comes off sounding like a whiny, immature teenager.

And Slash, who always sounded like an Italian by way of Transylvania, is actually the easiest one to listen to now because the added lisp just lends a small amount of absurdity to round out the narrator’s Italian accent.

Something was up with the audio

The book was awesome. Unfortunately, something was up with the audio narration, giving the characters speech impediments. This narrator is gifted and talented, giving a flawless performance in every other title I’ve heard so I’m sure the flaw must be with the microphone or something else.

What is with the narrator?

Great series and I love all the books, but the narrator has a lisp in this book. She talks like she just had orthodontics. Others might not be bothered, but I found it really annoying.
