What made the experience of listening to Cold Kill the most enjoyable?
Knowing that it was a true story. Because I had to keep reminding myself it was a true story. Usually I don’t have to do that if it says “true story” somewhere on the cover of the book!
What did you like best about this story?
This is going to make me sound like an absolutely horrible human being, but I swear I’m not. I’m not sure if you could say it’s what I liked “best” about the story…but I was continually astounded that someone (David) could fall for such obvious lies from someone else (Cindy) time after time. And I was shocked that Cindy could come out with these outrageous statements that to me, might be on par with claiming that JFK is still alive and living in her basement, and that she would have other people believing her. And not only believing her, but willing to do things for her. I guess I liked the shock factor of the book. It described the way some people can live and how that is totally acceptable to some other people. For example, the descriptions of how Cindy kept her living spaces was repugnant, but she was still able to get men to come over, despite the visual mess and smell, which was described as pretty darn nasty. I just don’t understand how that even works. And that’s completely separate from her issues with being a pathological liar.
The other thing that is interesting about the book is that the people in her life know that she lies, but they don’t know how much. And neither do we. She is one messed up lady, so there’s clearly some trauma somewhere, but you have no clue what to believe and what not to believe. Except for the Mafia part. That’s pretty clearly a lie. So yes it’s confusing, but more in an intriguing way, not so much a frustrating way.
Have you listened to any of Kevin Pierce’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
This measures up to his other performances. Kevin is a solid narrator who is easy to listen to. His pronunciation is always good and his intonation and inflection is appropriate as well. He has a pleasant voice for narration, and I gladly and readily download any book narrated by Kevin. I very much enjoy his narration.
If you could give Cold Kill a new subtitle, what would it be?
The Unbelievable Story of a Pathological Liar and Her Pathetically Desperate Boyfriend.
Any additional comments?
This was an interesting book. You should check it out. You will be shaking your head in disbelief.
