Publisher's summary

In the ruins of an abandoned Soviet military hospital in northern Hungary, two impoverished Roma boys are scavenging for old supplies or weapons they could sell on the black market when they find more than they ever anticipated. The resulting chain of events threatens to blow the lives of a frightening number of people into bits and pieces.

In this feverishly anticipated follow-up to 2011’s critically acclaimed The Boy in the Suitcase, Danish Red Cross nurse Nina Borg doesn’t realize she is putting life and family on the line when she tries to treat a group of sick Hungarian gypsies who are living illegally in a Copenhagen garage. Nina has unwittingly thrown herself into a deadly nest of the unscrupulous and the desperate, and what is at stake is much more terrifying than anyone had realized.

A sorrry follow up to a stellar first novel

It took me several attempts to get through this book. The sloppy editing was truly annoying. Nowhere near as good as the Boy in the Suitcase.

Unfulfilled

The previous reviews on this book warned that it was difficult to listen to and they were correct because it seemed as if it never was edited. The volume level varied tremendously as if no one ever listened to it after it was recorded and then it was just sent off to the publisher. In addition there are numerous times when the narrator repeats entire sentences. However it is a very good story and I listened to the entire recording despite of all these flaws.

Good book spoiled

Excellent story but overdramatised to point of shrillness at times. Appalling editing with many repeats throughout narrative.

Bad editing, but excellent story and performance.

Unedited recording. Several times the reader repeats a line, and she even says "argh" when having difficulty with a particular line (chapter 11, about 11 minutes in). I've never heard anything like it on a professionally produced audio book. This isn't Librivox! Otherwise, the performance is excellent, as is the story. The perspective on refugees and aid agencies is especially poignant during our current migration crisis.

Narrator Mistakes - Where is the Editor!?!?

Any additional comments?

Katherine Kellgren's voice is easy to listen to and appropriate for this story, but where the heck was the editing and quality control??? There are many examples of a line being repeated, and at 11:50 of chapter 11 we are subjected to hearing the narrator stumble and exclaim with frustration. DISTRACTING!

Read the Reviews!!

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

If nothing else, this book taught me to READ THE REVIEWS before I purchase something. When I first heard the reading mistakes and the "ah" I thought... what??? I actually went back to hear it again... and yep, I heard correctly... but THEN there were MORE mistakes! Yes indeed, the question is: Where was the editor??????

Sloppy Audio File

I enjoyed this book and the performance, but the file was very sloppy. Many times phrases were repeated and some, several times. It makes me wonder what I might have missed because of the same lack of attention to the file.

Lots of thrills!

Would you consider the audio edition of Invisible Murder to be better than the print version?

Katy Kellgren's reading is AMAZING. She's dramatic without being OVERdramatic, and is easy to listen to.

What did you like best about this story?

I LOVED The Boy in the Suitcase, so was eagerly awaiting this new book. It's as good as everyone says - as good as the first, with more Nina Borg character development. Don't want to give away anything, but there are definite surprises along the way.

Any additional comments?

Recommended to mystery & thriller fans. :)

story is good, but editing was terrible

Is there anything you would change about this book?

the narrator obviously messed up several times, at one point letting out an exasperated sound on her 3rd attempt at a particular sentence. there evidently wasn't anyone assigned to listening to the completed book to make certain that such issues weren't in the finished product.

Could you see Invisible Murder being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

no

Audio editing subpar

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Well written, plot driven book with well-rounded characters.

Would you listen to another book narrated by Katherine Kellgren?

Yes

Any additional comments?

Audio editing left a lot to be desired. The narrator's false starts were left in.
