About this listen
Could their cases be related? When repeated vicious attacks on Mel and on her home accelerate the danger for her and also their attraction to each other, they become desperate to find the truth and solve the two mysteries. Can they find a way to work together to resolve both cases while coming to terms with their growing feelings for one another? Can Dana move beyond her jilted lover past and find true happiness with a small town Sheriff?
The debut novel from Anne Hagan, her Mel and Dana characters in Relic are a great addition to the pantheon of lesbian women sleuths like Jane Lawless in the novels of Ellen Hart, the characters of Gerri Hill like Detective Tori Hunter with the hard-boiled edges of the Sara Paretsky private detective, V. I. Warshawski.

Story
Lowen Ashleigh is a struggling writer on the brink of financial ruin when she accepts the job offer of a lifetime. Jeremy Crawford, husband of best-selling author Verity Crawford, has hired Lowen to complete the remaining books in a successful series his injured wife is unable to finish. Lowen arrives at the Crawford home, ready to sort through years of Verity's notes and outlines, hoping to find enough material to get her started. What Lowen doesn't expect to uncover in the chaotic office is an unfinished autobiography Verity never intended for anyone to read.

Story
Nathan Tyler is an unassuming professor at a middling American university with a rather obscure specialty in mathematics—in short, a nobody from nowhere. So why is the White House calling? Summoned to Washington, DC, for a top-secret briefing, Nathan discovers that he’s the key to a massive foreign intelligence breakthrough. Reading between the lines of a cryptic series of equations, he could open a door straight into the heart of the Kremlin and change the global balance of power forever.

Story
Tess Strebel can’t recognize her own face. She can’t recognize her home. Her bedroom is unfamiliar. And she can’t remember the handsome stranger lying next to her in bed. A stranger who claims he’s her husband. Tess reads a letter in her own handwriting, composed during a rare lucid day, explaining her life as it now exists: she was in a terrible car accident one year ago. Every morning, she wakes up unable to remember most of the last decade. Including her own wedding.

Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

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.

Former LAPD cop turned private investigator Yolanda Ávila blames herself for her mother's death. If she'd only followed her cop instincts instead of the juju—her random prophetic dreams—the perpetrator would have been off the streets and her mother would still be alive. The only salve against her guilt is Yolanda's vow to reject that juju crap, and to solve cases using only good solid detective work. But when her godson is kidnapped and his parents are suspected of murder, Yolanda finds herself caught between what she feels and what she knows.

Story
Gideon Frayne has spent his whole working life as a policeman in the village of Dark on Bodmin Moor. His first missing-child case is eating him alive. When his own boss sends in a psychic to help with the case, he's gutted - he's a level-headed copper who doesn't believe in such things, and he can't help but think that the arrival of clairvoyant Lee Tyack is a comment on his failure to find the little girl. But Lee is hard to hate, no matter how Gideon tries. At first Lee's insights into the case make no sense, but he seems to have a window straight into Gideon's heart.

4.5**** I liked it
I liked the story and how it was brought to life for this cop and agent. I liked the mix of agency vs. sheriff's department and city vs. country veins running throughout. I'm never happy to hear about interagency non cooperation and resultant fubar, but humans aren't perfect and it takes a certain type of person to work as cops and agents. These were nicely captured in the storytelling. Nothing felt unrealistic, which I respect.
Also captured were decent representations of criminals and why they are criminals and that part of their lives (like family) are like everyone else's. The criminals focus on family was outstanding in contrast to cops focusing on careers. Showing both sides makes a good contrast to two cops working hard to avoid love at all costs. The commonalities and differences running through the core of this story are quite good.
I enjoyed the virtual voice chosen for this story because it's the kind of voice I like hearing with a timbre I'm comfortable listening to from beginning to end. Overacting a scene often just has me shutting the story down fast. I have to be in the mood for comedy and most of the time I want my police and security books to be very serious. This voice fit these characters who were written to be practical and sensible most of the time, and yet are still human. There are some surprises here too.
This virtual voice didn't interfere with the telling of the story by hyping everything to turn it comedic and silly. When it was necessary for the MCs to show emotion as part of the story, the virtual voice did show emotion. It had a few flaws, particular at the beginning of chapters (sounds like it's being choked out), but in all, it was a satisfactory listen on many levels.
Overall, this story, and especially the virtual voice, fit the women I know or have met who work in the justice system and are required to remain low key and professional on and off the job. I hope you stick with the same voice in the books to come.

Horrible narration by Virtual Voice!
Story was almost palatable, narration totally ruined the experience! From pronunciation errors to a mechanical, clipped vocal, this was horrible!

Good story, needed a human storyteller
I thought the story was interesting and complex enough to appeal to my imagination. But the AI narration made it hard to distinguish the two main characters and it fumbled some of the sentence structure. I probably won't choose another Audible with AI narration due to this experience.

Mechanical Delivery
I’ve listened to several AI virtual voice books and don’t endorse it. Makes even good books dry. Story was better than good.

my dislike of the AI.
I didn't like the AI performance. It didn't catch the nuances, it didn't show anger, happiness, or any emotion. At times it made the story hard to follow.
It seems to me that having a different voice for each character would be easier.

Computer Voice-over - BLAH!
I managed to listen to the full audio but it was a real challenge. Dry monotone voice-over takes all the nuance out of the story, which was well worth the listen. I’d listen to additional books by the author but ONLY if they are read by an actual person… which is a shame because this is a series (that I think I’d like) but I’m walking away from it. Keep up the great story lines, pay for a real reader OR voice it yourself, can’t possibly be any worse than the computer.

Virtual voice is terrible.
When all the characters have the same voice and inflection it's disturbing and distracting. I think I'll read this book instead.
