About this listen
Brett Macklin was a freewheeling son of sunny California, a collector of vintage cars and a connoisseur of beautiful women. But when his father is murdered by a street gang, Macklin becomes something else--a deadly weapon against crime, a relentless vigilante who won't stop until he's wiped out the killers who have turned Los Angeles into a war zone.

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.

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.

Poor Reading by the virtual voice
The virtual voice mispronounced so many words in this reading it was very annoying. For example, 501 jeans were called 5 Hundred and 1 jeans.
Please !
Also, simply miss pronouncing the tense of a word is very annoying when it happens over and over throughout the book.

Good Book with a bit of nostalgia!!
I enjoyed this earlier work by Lee Goldberg. It was written in the 80’s and other than a few mentions of phone booths or TAB soda and a few other small things the book could very easily have been written yesterday!
I found the virtual voice pleasant to listen to. I remember years ago listening to computer generated voice being very monotone and this is not like that. The new virtual voice has different inflections and for me if I didn’t know I honestly couldn’t tell that the narrator was not a real person. The exception is certain things that a person would recognize like a.357 was pronounced “point three five seven “. This also doesn’t mean I’ve found it to be a favorite for narrating books but I didn’t think it was unpleasant at all and I did listen to the entire book. But this is only my opinion.
The story is good. It’s fast paced and has some touchy moments. There is a scene where the protagonist shoots two men during a rape. And the ethical question of whether he’s guilty of murder because he was not defending himself.
Anyway, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book. It was free and I thought it was worth a couple hours of my time to test drive the voice.

Virtual voice made it unbearable, truly awful!
With the virtual voice there is absolutely no emotion at all. Just flat reading with occasional mispronunciations of simple words like "sacrifice".

virtual reading is awful.
I know this is a good story because I read it myself a long time ago. decided to listen to the audiobook since it was free. I would be super angry if I had paid for it as the virtual reader was so awful.! I couldn't get past half an hour of listening before I had to stop. The horrible ore rating was so distracting and annoying that it was impossible to follow the story. I will never listen to a virtually read audiobook ever again.
