Story
Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

Who is Audrey Hoedemaker? It's a question her sister Maureen has heard more times than she can count, and she doesn't know what the short answer would be.

Jackson (Reid Scott) and Grimes (Cobie Smulders) race to find the killer, setting them on a collision course with the city’s crime underbelly, and a perpetrator who seems happy to toy with them. “Rule number two.

Story
Kidnappers grabbed Jenna in broad daylight, right in front of her children and their horrified classmates. Her family was issued an insane ransom demand: $25 million in cash and jewels, payable by the end of the school day, otherwise they’ll never see her again. As Jenna’s mother scrambles to gather the money, detectives Mo Butler and George Ortega follow the trail of the kidnappers, which will lead them through a sordid landscape of jealous lovers, broken dreamers, and twisted schemers. But every second counts, and there’s one thing Jenna Wade doesn’t have: very much time.

Terrible Narration Kills Story
A waste of money. Don't buy this.
The story may be a good one, but the subpar narration ruins it. The voice sounds like a human voice but he(?) seems to be an idiot, not knowing that "Pffffft!" is a sound and instead of making the sound he spells it out.
Also, all the voices sound the same. The male characters even sound the same as the female characters! There is no variation at all.
Terrible!
Amazon apparently saved money by having an AI read this. Well, the AI sucks. Hire a human.

The virtual voice is not very good
There were many mistakes and pronunciation errors. The tone was wrong. And it missed out what would’ve been appropriate emotional reactions but since I’ve wanted to listen to this and this is the only option I had it’s better than nothing.

Terrible “reading” by computer voice
A good story ruined by trying to save money and have an AI generated voice “read” the story. Multiple pauses, mispronunciations and lack of emotion in the computer voice. A complete rip off. Please don’t waste your money on this as I unfortunately did.
