Point of Origin

De: Patricia Cornwell

Narrado por: Karen White

This dazzling thriller pits Chief Medical Examiner Kay Scarpetta against greater odds than ever before.

Convicted serial killer Carrie Grethen has escaped from a psychiatric hospital with plans for revenge. Wary and shaken, Scarpetta also has to investigate the death by fire of an unknown woman. The post mortem reveals the woman was stabbed before the fire was started, and soon Scarpetta and her colleagues are called out to the scene of another fire and another murder.

When her lover, Benton Wesley, disappears while following up a tip-off, Scarpetta, with sudden, appalling clarity, sees that Carrie has set up a scenario in which she has the upper hand and can manipulate them all.

Narration is horrendous!

This is a great book! Unfortunately, the narrator made it extremely difficult to listen to it, and almost ruined the story for me. I regret purchasing this book, and would recommend you read it yourself instead of struggling through this narrated version.

robot voice

Kay Scarpetta sounded weaker and desperate than before. sensitive when’s always been so commanding.

voice actor over annunciate and comes off robotic and did not flow

carry

the narrator was awful! u shud have never changed the narrator in the middle of a series of books. this women is terrible!!! I wasn't even gunna finish listening to this book.

bad narrator

I didnt like the way the way the narrator read the book. it was a choppy with pauses between words. The narrator made the Dr whining and sounded very unsure of her self.

Story is amazing/narrator horrible

Narrator is horrible. I love listening to audio books on my rides to and from work but this one made it difficult to follow.

The narrator is boring. I prefer CJ

Disliked the narrator. Very dry and monotone. Could not distinguish between characters as in previous books.

Can't get over the annoying voice

it sounds like the narrator used to work an 800 line back in the day.

Reading

I loved the book and story was moving but the narration sounded like a computer was reading it. However this was the first time I have heard Karen White read. Overall it was a great read.

Great book! So-so narrator.

Amazing story! Definitely not my favorite narrator. will continue getting Patricia Cornwell books. Wished all her books were on Audible and in English.

Amazing writing but horrible performance.

Karen White can only perform whinny or dramatic or both. It was painful to listen to this! Why why would you not continue having amazing C J Critt performing Dr Scarpetta???? Anyways, Patricia Cornwell is an amazing writer!
