About this listen

It's been seven years since the Seattle Strangler terrorized the city. His victims were all young, pretty, their lifeless bodies found wrapped in a home-sewn white dress. But there was one who miraculously escaped death, just before the Strangler disappeared.

Lara Church has only hazy memories of her long-ago attack. What she does have is a home in Austin, a job, and a chance at a normal life at last. Then Texas Ranger James Beck arrives on her doorstep with shattering news: The Strangler is back. And this time, he's in Austin.

He's always craved her, even as he killed the others. For so long he's been waiting to unleash the beast within. And this time, he'll prove he holds her life in his hands - right before he ends it forever....

Can she talk ANY faster???

At first I thought I’d inadvertently increased the playback speed. Nope. This reader was just in a big ol’ hurry to get it over with I guess. Where were the sound engineer and the producer? How could nobody notice that she was talking too fast? First time I’ve ever encountered this issue. Had to listen at 0.9x speed. She also did not always capture the best inflection when voicing characters, but that was a minor gripe.

Story was ok. Just a reasonably entertaining time-passer. Yet another book that left me wondering where all the editors have gone. So many irritating sloppy grammatical errors. Seems to be a trend these days. Sigh.

Hmmmm……. Not as good as I’d liked. I knew how it would end!

The narrator was difficult to listen to at times. It was hard to differentiate who was who, male or female. I tolerated the storyline for Lincoln the German Shepherd.

Pass

Main character is just plain stupid, gives women a bad name. Identity of killer was evident from the very beginning, ildly entertaining, but definitely not a suspenseful thriller.

Good story disliked all the bullies

There is a lot of bullying in the guise of the good guys. The rest of the story was good with intrigue and putting back the pieces. I know cops can be bullies but it was a bit too much. Forcing the victim to help made me mad.
