About this listen

Everyone goes for the jugular. The body of a young lawyer is found in an alley, and the suspicious circumstances of his death arouse Los Angeles PD Detective Desi Nimmo’s interest. As she pursues a complex series of clues of what caused his demise, the trail leads her into a seedy and dark side of LA's porn industry. She must also fend off the rivalry of disgraced Detective Fin McNab, who is desperate to regain his good standing with the brass and will stop at nothing to do so including snatching Desi's cases and investigating her personal past. As she doggedly pursues the case amid McNab’s interference, Desi uncovers a lucrative underground business and a cold-case murder but this is a world that doesn’t appreciate people asking questions. As she gets closer to the truth, Desi’s career - and life - hang in the balance.

This book wasn't great, but it was okay and I listened to the end, actually enjoying it. The narrator has potential, but need more practice, so it seems to me. Desi's voice seemed too little girlish and Fin's voice was just wrong.

Good story.Excellent narration. Fast moving police mystery, Reminds you a bit of SILENCE OF THE LAMBS without the deep Hannibal Lector character but with the dogged police detective.

bloody decent

Seemed slow in the beginning and then rushed at the end. No surprises in the protagonists

A little rushed at the end

I almost returned this but I was on a long trip and needed a distraction. It was distracting alright. So far south of what is usually acceptable for a narrator. Was this a family member of the author? Never again. A modicum of acting ability is required for narrating an audio book. It was like listening to someone read the phone book. The “male” voice was particularly painful.

Worst narrator EVER!

Not sure if it was writing or narration but flow was clumsy to the point of distraction for me.

Clumsy

I got bought this audio because of the reviews. The narration is terrible. Her narration is choppy and she can only do one character at a time, if she does a male then all the other characters sound like her regular voice, which is not so great. All adult males talk real slow, she tries for a deep voice. No emotion, no excitement. Seriously blah blah blah.
I kept hoping the story would be so great that I could get past the terrible narration but it didn’t.

What a terrible narrator.

Weird line of casual racism that did nothing to drive the plot and was never mentioned again

Fine for a throw on book

A gripping police thriller. With a partnership between two detectives with damaged pasts. What can go wrong will go wrong in their hunt for a perverted killer.
Good storyline well written.
Narration is clear and concise.
I received a free copy of this audio book at my own request and happily leave my honest review.
A good read.

Couldn't put it down
