Flawless Narration
Reviewed: 12-21-22
I enjoy listening to the narration as I read the books. Tamika Katon-Donegal gives the best performance I’ve ever heard. Her characters all have very distinct and diverse accents and voices. Even if I were only listening the the narration and not reading along, it was abundantly discernible who was speaking. Her Elin accent was my favorite; not just for the accent, but also for her spot-on British vernacular.
I was impressed at her pacing; emphatic and quickened during the action sequences, and slow and steady during those tender, touching moments.
After reading and listening to the first Nena Knight book, I was very happy to see that Tamika (if I may be so familiar) had also narrated this second iteration. I’ve read other series and felt a letdown when they changed narrators. Hopefully she’ll also narrate the next book. It wouldn’t be the same without her.

Story4 out of 5 stars 6,522
A resident of one of LA's toughest neighborhoods uses his blistering intellect to solve the crimes the LAPD ignores. East Long Beach. The LAPD is barely keeping up with the neighborhood's high crime rate. Murders go unsolved, lost children unrecovered. But someone from the neighborhood has taken it upon himself to help solve the cases the police can't or won't touch. They call him IQ. He's a loner and a high school dropout, his unassuming nature disguising a relentless determination and a fierce intelligence.

Great Narration!

This is my first audio book, so, I didn’t know what to expect. When I heard Sullivan Jones’ narration, I was blown away! How he was able to maintain continuity amongst the characters’ voices was no less than amazing, and it made the story MUCH more fun to listen to than read.
The book was good; jumped around a little too much for me, but the vernacular of South Central L.A. was on point. Mr. Ide was clearly a resident there in order to be this accurate with the lexicon. The character development was strong. I had a clear understanding of the mindset and personality of each character Mr Ide introduced.
I’ll definitely continue this series, provided Mr. Jones continues to narrate…
