About this listen

Making a killing in business is one thing - doing it for real is another.

Private Investigator Sam Dyke turns down a job that would require skills that he doesn't have - patience, computer-literacy, tact. Then he finds that the skills he does have - tenacity, aggression, street-smarts - are exactly the ones he needs for his next case - hunting down a cold-blooded murderer who seems to know what his every step will be.

To solve the case Sam must negotiate with his ex-wife, cement a relationship with a new love, unravel an office-based financial fraud, and fight off an arrogant murderer armed only with a pen-knife. Altered Life is fast-paced, bitterly comic, and introduces a tough new English private eye who knows what he wants and, usually, how to get it.

Elvis Cole meets England

Overall this was a good story, but I cannot understand the use of an Voice Actor with an American Accent to Narrate what should be a British Accent. I kept having to remind myself this was talking place in England and not in L.A., Chicago or any other American City. I feel like the storyline lost its intrigue about 3/4 of the way through. That’s probably just me. I gave it 3 Stars Overall because there were parts I enjoyed and parts I did not.

American narrator for British book? Awful.

Who in their right mind would hire an American narrator for a British book? Very jarring, lots of mispronounced commonly used British words. I couldn't finish.
