Voodoo Ridge

A Cordell Logan Mystery, Book 3

De: David Freed

Narrado por: Ray Porter

Award-winning author David Freed brings listeners another fast-paced, adrenaline-fueled mystery in Voodoo Ridge, the third in the Cordell Logan series.

Back in 1956, a cargo plane left a small airport outside Los Angeles and flew straight into a raging storm, never to be seen again. Sixty some years later, retired military assassin and would-be Buddhist Cordell Logan catches sight of something as he and his fiancé Savannah are flying over the Sierra Nevada Mountains. That tiny plane and its mysterious cargo have finally been found.

The planned trip to Lake Tahoe is thrown off when Logan is asked to guide a search and rescue team to the remote crash site. He agrees, but what they find is nothing like what they expected. Alongside the old plane and the mummified pilot is a fresh corpse: the body of a young man, shot mere hours before. Someone beat them to the crash—and the cargo—and will stop at nothing to profit off what they found. Including kidnapping Savannah to ensure Logan’s cooperation.

Filled with unexpected twists, full-throttle action, and wry humor, Voodoo Ridge is a thrilling mystery that sees Cordell Logan drawn into the most perplexing and deadly situation he’s ever faced.

A good book but not as great as the other 2

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would definitely recommend this book. Ray Porter is amazing as always. The story isn't bad, but this is not the best book in the series.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Unfortunately, this plot did not keep me on the edge of my seat. I feel like there were some major plot holes that should have been addressed which in turn made me feel like some of the characters from the previous novels weren't true to themselves.

What does Ray Porter bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Ray Porter does a fantastic job. I am very glad that he is back. He does Cordell and the landlady perfectly. He doesn't just read it, he conveys the emotion behind it.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Not entirely. There were moments I had to keep going into the next chapter, but the entire book was not like that.

Logan at his best!

Caught my attention right from the start. I love David Freed's story telling. Ray Porter is amazing! He really helped the book come alive. There are only a few authors that can blend well-spun mystery with memorable characters and a good smattering of humor as well as Freed. I'm anxious to read his next book. Please keep Ray Porter as this series' narrator. He IS Logan!

Another great Cordell Logan book

Would you consider the audio edition of Voodoo Ridge to be better than the print version?

Do not know. Only had the audio version

What other book might you compare Voodoo Ridge to and why?

Can't think of one. Stands alone.

What about Ray Porter’s performance did you like?

I like his inflections and how he can take cynical and sarcastic remarks and put a little extra Zing to them.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Not extreme, but I was saddened at how Logan was crushed by the loss of his lady.

Any additional comments?

A bit of a surprise ending as to "who done it?", but a good lead in to the next adventure.

Another great story.

I'm sorry some listeners decided to discard this suspenseful story because they felt the narrator wasn't up to their liking. They really have limited their experiences. The narrative was superb, well executed and undoubtedly better than the listener could do. T

Hooked

I've been hooked since book 1. I'm surprised that I actually enjoyed book 3 the most so far. Looking forward to the rest of the series!
