Story was decent but the narrators ugh

I liked the story fine, I guessed the ending a quarter of the way through. The narrators were so bad they hurt my ears. I won’t listen to another book they narrate ever.

This is the weirdest narration I’ve ever heard, it’s really distracting.

This narration is so annoying it’s hard to tell how good the book may have been if you just read it, and I’m normally a huge audiobook fan.

The narration distracts from the story

The story held my attention but the female narrator overplayed her voices and pronounced certain words very strangely. It was very distracting. Almost didn’t finish it because of that.

Book is terrific, narration is painful!

I LOVED this story, but almost quit it many times because of the narrators.
The ‘female’ voices were so breathy and sounded like a 1-900 telephone operator. The ‘male’ voices were ridiculously exaggerated and annoying that it made it hard to follow at times.
Again, the book was excellent…if you can make it through the performance you’ll enjoy it…or just pick up the book and read it yourself :)

Narrator needs some coaching.

I almost quit reading due to narration, but the book was good and glad I stuck with it. After I got used to the vocal fry voice, the mispronunciation of the frequently used word “says” (pronounced to rhyme with “stays”) almost made me quit again. Other words were also mispronounced, but that was less grating.
The plot was good and the book was entertaining.

More Books Like This One!

A different story for a change. And what a good one it is!
This was refreshing and full of suspense. Was the Husband guilty?? You Must listen to this to find out, and I highly recommend it. I'm glad I took a chance on this book, it was worth it. I wasn't overly impressed with the narration, but it was easy to get past it because the story was really that good.

Good Story Bad Narrator

The story was interesting but the woman narrator was not so good. Her voice as the detective did not suit the character. She made her voice sultry and seductive so it took away from the NY cop she portrayed.

Story was suspenseful and had a good twist.

I liked the story line. It had a good twist at the end. I didn’t like the narrator as much. She made the female police officer sound sultry.
