Ellis is a good writer but that was a bad book. Give him another chance. His Lena Gamble is first rate
The story line was ok. The Narrator made my ear bleed. Not for the story line and my OCD of finishing a series I wouldn’t have finished the series.
I hate the narrator voices for the characters I hate the way the author keeps repeating the characters name every other word. it seems like a kid wrote this and the editor never edited. only reason why it has Stars is because it would not let me save without marking one.
It’s hard to judge the story, because I couldn’t get past the robotic narration. As the book would progress, I found that the dead pan narration just left me with a hollow experience.
Any additional comments? The story was sophomoric & too plodding to hold interest. The protagonist was likeable but was also a sloppy police detective. He seemed unprepared the majority of the time i.e. not bringing a gun etc. It may have had something to do with the narrator but listening to character Replacement’s immature &..
this was my sixth audiobook and by far the worst. it’s a simple story line that lacks any real depth. the narration seems to hit all the wrong notes in intonation and inflection. not sure how this book was rated so high; you can do much better.

This book was far from being a riveting suspense thriller. It was more like a comedy, there was absolutely no suspense in it. It involved two teenagers who had the vocabulary of two adults, teenagers do not talk like that. Please save your money and don’t buy this book. It was a joke!
Can’t resist stopping on Chapter 4 and questioning this narrator. is Jaguar pronounced Jagwire? Had to double check and Jagwire is what he said. I don’t know if I will finish this audiobook because the narrator speed reads so fast he is ruining the story.
I actually like the other books in this series that have been released but this one ? It’s just ridiculous. Good ol Jack is made out to be the second coming. Taking in all comers and having all the ladies love him. The replacement character also grated on my last nerve. Sorry to say the..
