I don’t know if it’s common in audiobooks to omit any repetitive phrases. It may not be as obvious or feel repetitive in print form. It drove me crazy and I picture Kevin Pierce ripping his hair out if he had to say it one more time, reports said. At the beginning you are told there was some 2000 plus pages of documents throughly examined, so I was keenly aware of that, reported court documents. The story was awesome, and written well, reviews stated…here it is, BUT every other minute(highly exaggerated, book indicated) the listener is reminded that it is some court, police, investigator, personal, witness, blah ba blah blah blah document or report. Barring that, it’s a very interesting well done book, it was said in a report. Sorry, I just want to end every sentence like that, the review stated. Good listen though
