Warning: Before you purchase this audiobook, please be aware that 30 Pieces of Silver is an extremely controversial religious/historical thriller - too controversial to be published in hardback. Please do not purchase this book if you were at all disturbed by The DaVinci Code or The Passion of Christ's revelations.

However, if you like your fiction to challenge historical events, read on....

A Christian suicide bomber.

John the Baptist's bones inscribed in ancient Greek.

A dark secret carried from the foot of the crucifixion.

Can science solve the world's greatest mystery?

Critic reviews

"Carolyn McCray's 30 Pieces of Silver proves that Dan Brown's crown is up for grabs. Part minefield and all roller-coaster ride, here is a story as controversial as it is thriller. Hunker down for a long night because once you start this book you won't be putting it down." (James Rollins, New York Times best-selling author of Bloodline)

Few things bother me moor than constant pronunciation errors. Come on folks donot be in such a hurry that no one corrects glaring errors.

Good Book bad narrator

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
poor pronunciation and Yoda like accent of professor were not a treat. nearly returned book.

narration made story difficult to complete

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Terrible narration. Sounded like a movie trailer the entire time. It cheapened the story so much that it made it almost comical at times. Poor audio levels and obvious editing. Don’t even get me started on the ridiculousness of the “accents” for the different characters…

Entertaining but predictable story, horrible narration

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The character voices were absolutely horrific! Most of the men either sounded like Yoda or ridiculous cartoon characters. If I hadn’t been invested in finding out how things ended, I would’ve stopped listening. It took a great deal away from what the story could have been. Read the book and save the credit!!! YOU’VE BEEN WARNED!!

Horrible Narrator- Save the credit!

Even though the narrator was terrible, I stuck with it because I really wanted to know where she was going with this thing.Enjoyed most of the characterization but again almost was ruined by the narrator.

Narrator was awful almost ruined this story.

What disappointed you about 30 Pieces of Silver?

The narrator and the editing. Worst editing job I have every heard. On top of his performance it was unbearable.

Would you be willing to try another one of Don Hoeksema’s performances?

No! Any book that he "performs" I will not listen.

Narrator kills the store.

the story is fun and exciting. I know this because I read it on paperback years ago. The narration here is so hard to follow. the performance makes it easy to tune out the story.

love the story, loathe the narration

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
I have read the book before and loved it. Yes it is controversial but the warnings are there, so why did they leave out half the story?

Disappointing

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

What would have made 30 Pieces of Silver better?

A different narrator.
There is no consistent volume or tempo to the reading, words are mispronounced, and it sounds like there is a speech impediment. There is no recognition of separate paragraphs. It's all verrry distracting from the story, which itself is pretty good.

What did you like best about this story?

The theological wonderings.

Would you be willing to try another one of Don Hoeksema’s performances?

Not really.

Enjoying the story, not caring for the naration...

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
I read this book some time ago and loved it, this was a terrible narration that ruined the whole book.
