The White Picket Fence

De: Karen Rose

Narrado por: Joel Froomkin

Sketch artist Tino Ciccotelli is passionately dedicated to helping victims of violent crime. For years he's translated their descriptions of attackers into "WANTED" posters. While listening to the victims' pain is emotionally draining, Tino accepts this as part of the job--until he discovers that he and his newest client have a personal connection. He is devastated to see Dorothy's injuries and determined to help the police catch her attacker, but he must also deal with the return of her niece, his first love who left him when their lives were just beginning.

Charlotte Walsh has always regretted leaving Tino. Her fear of being stuck in marriage like her parents' drove her away from Tino and his dreams of a house with a white picket fence. Her life did not play out as she'd expected and, after an assault by a stalker, she has returned to Philadelphia, only to have her aunt targeted for violence.

Now she and Tino must work together to find the man who left her aunt for dead, but they soon realize the killer's true target is much closer than they think.

The story was good, the narrator was not.

This wasn’t the best of Karen Rose but the story kept me interested. But the narration was not good. I was hard to listen to the sort of sing song voice of the male.

Horrible narration

I nearly returned this book because of the narration. The narrator sounds like a drunk, chain-smoking, Thurston Howel the third from the old Giligan's Island TV show. I love the author and her books so I toughed it out.

Good Suspense

I liked the story but I could hardly listen to the narrator. His female voices were awful and the male voices weren't much better. I'll make sure that I don't get a book in the future with him narrating.

good story

the narrator wasn't the right fit for this story. Just couldn't get into the story with the voice. he would have been better for for a secondary older character but not for the whole stroy. hard to finish

Narrator Ruined It

I almost gave up and then I realized it was a short listen. I also sped it up -- it made it a little more bearable. I'm not sure if the narrator normally speaks like that or that was his performance. If the latter, he needs to just go with a normal voice. I'm not really sure how good the book was because he was so distracting.

Not the right narrator

I could barely get through this story because of the narration. It was a huge distraction and kept taking me out of the plot. I won’t buy another Karen Rose book read by this author.

narrator

I. love karen rose books. normally but this was the wrong narrator for this book. I couldn't finish it because of the narrator, I have heard other stories narrated by this man but this one should have been done by someone else.
