While most people are giving bad reviews because of the computerized voice, that is not a problem to me. I find real people often incorrectly dramatize things and it gets pretty annoying. A computer voice let's you interpret the book without the narrator injectionng bias. Unfortunately, the writing is sophomoric. Not interesting at all. I would recommend passing on this one.

Not well written.

Mediocre at best. It came up in a search for True Crime. Some AI narrations are good, and some are poor. The AI kills what story is available in this book.

Nothing stood out the most

The story was very good but I did not like the virtual voice. I only listened to it fully so I could find out the outcome

I cannot comment on the story sadly because I just couldn’t stand to listen to the computer generated narrator! I am disappointed in that. Maybe I will actually read the book instead.

Couldn’t get past first few chapters
