The Snow Raven

The Josie Corsino Mysteries, Book 6

De: Connie Dial

Narrado por: Marguerite Gavin

Narcotics Detective Josie Corsino thrives in this decadent world chasing drug dealers, destroying crack houses, and raiding opium dens until the early morning hours. Her desire to do this consuming job makes family life nearly impossible. Her husband and son need her, and she needs to be on the street.

The detectives in her squad don’t fit the spit and polish image of the Adam 12 LAPD. They’re grubby, unshaven, disrespectful to authority, and generally do police work in an effective, if not by-the-book way. She’s comfortable balancing on the edge of legality to make a good arrest until one night an informant tells her and her partner that a Hollywood cop has stepped over the line and is selling rock cocaine.

In Josie’s mind, there’s nothing worse than dirty cops. She learns the hard way that they can be vicious, clever, and determined to do anything - including murder - to avoid capture.

The search to find the traitor in blue nearly kills her best friend and puts Josie in the middle of a drug war involving an organized crime family. Finding the corrupt cop is the only way she and her partner can salvage their reputations and keep the killer from striking again.

relatable

as a former officer, the story is so close to truth, it causes some concern.

Druggies

policing is a very hard time consuming job but when you can't be truthful to your partner and family at home that's so selfish and one minded and that what Josie was just like the addict who have to get a fixed no matter what the story a little long a drag out I lose interest the narrator was just ok

Great storyline

Authentic storytelling . The story was entertaining and realistic. Great job by author who had a tremendous career and insight.

The narrator truly takes away from the story

I am half way through this book, but the narrator sounds like she is reading a sex novel rather than a crime thriller! Completely throwing of the story, making it hard to follow! I listen to books on audible constantly, normally you can get used to a narrators voice and tone, but not in this instance! This narrator is doing the author a disservice by using a sultry even tone! The story seems like a great one, but one I have to put aside because of the narrator!
I have never left a review before, but I know this author is a new one and deserves a chance, I bought the book solely because of the recommendation of my favorite author Michael Connolly. I truly hope you choose a different narrator to read this book and your future books! I will absolutely read them!
