Orchid Beach

De: Stuart Woods

Narrado por: Cassandra Campbell

#1 New York Times bestselling author Stuart Woods delivers a riveting thriller that introduces his first female protagonist, Deputy Chief of Police Holly Barker.

Forced into early retirement at thirty-seven, smart, attractive, and fiercely independent Major Holly Barker trades in her bars as a military cop for the badge of deputy chief of police in Orchid Beach, Florida. But below the sunny surface of this sleepy, well-to-do island town lies an evil that escalates into the cold-blooded murder of one of Holly's new colleagues.

An outsider, Holly has little to go on for answers and no one to help her—except Daisy, a Doberman of exceptional intelligence and loyalty that becomes her companion and protector. The closer Holly gets to the truth, the more she knows that it'll take one smart dog with guts to sniff out this killer—before he can catch her first.

Narrator

Her voice put me off a bit but otherwise good story. Surprise ending kept you guessing

Fun, fast and a good read!!

Fast moving after a slow start. Interesting characters, narration good except the "voice" given the heroine by the narrator was annoying.

Sooo breathy, narrator is!

I listened to the book at 1.4X speed, hoping the breathy narration would not be so irritating. But it didn’t help.
I have a hard time understanding why anyone would choose this narrator for a murder mystery.
Her voice type/method does not contribute to the atmosphere of a mystery thriller book.

Page turner

It was very good, perhaps a little predictable but very good! Enjoyed it very much

Great book

Can’t wait to start the 2nd book of this series by Stuart Woods! Love Daisy and all the characters in the book
