Pinion, Minnesota: a metropolis of all of 700 souls. Nothing ever happened there - until the mayor of sorts (campaign slogan: "I'll Do What I Can") and a buddy come up with a scheme to put Pinion on the map. They'd heard of a place where a floating image of the Virgin Mary had turned the whole town into a shrine, attracting thousands of pilgrims. And all those pilgrims needed food, shelter, all kinds of crazy things, right? They'd all get rich! What could go wrong? When the dead body shows up, they find out, and that's only the beginning of their troubles - and Virgil Flowers'....

Virgil at his best. Well-drawn characters play out another Virgil Flowers adventure. This one, a complex mystery that keeps the reader guessing . Highly recommended.

NSA director Theodore Anders has a simple goal: collect every phone call, email, and keystroke tapped on the Internet. He knows unlimited surveillance is the only way to keep America safe. Evelyn Gallagher doesn't care much about any of that. She just wants to keep her head down and manage the NSA's camera network and facial recognition program so she can afford private school for her deaf son, Dash.

Eisler’s writing is informed by his background, and in this book, his understanding of the intelligence community makes for a powerful, story.
His narration is as good as many voiceover professionals. Kudos!

Near an isolated mansion lies a beautiful garden. In this garden grow luscious flowers, shady trees...and a collection of precious “butterflies” - young women who have been kidnapped and intricately tattooed to resemble their namesakes. Overseeing it all is the Gardener, a brutal, twisted man obsessed with capturing and preserving his lovely specimens.

Mismatch in Voices
Revisado: 07-03-16
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
I enjoyed the story and was engaged by the some of the characters, but I would have preferred better narration.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Maya, but then she was the principal protagonist.
What didn’t you like about Lauren Ezzo and Mel Foster ’s performance?
Lauren Ezzo's (I think she was the first-person voice of Maya) voice didn't match the character of Maya as she is described, who should--in my opinion--have voice lower in pitch. When Mel Foster, speaking in third-person, tries to give Maya voice, the sound clashes with the female voice the listener just heard from the other narrator.. Also, Mel Foster (I think he is the voice of Victor and Edison) doesn't differentiate two or three of the voices by characters. I had to, sometimes, back up to learn who was speaking.In the first part of the story, all is being told by the FBI agent, Victor. When the female voice, first person suddenly came through, it was jarring. Although Victor's voice was sometimes flat, the female voice was immediately annoying.
Was The Butterfly Garden worth the listening time?
Marginally. It's a good fantasy/serial killer/mystery. I say mystery, because the author keeps referring to Maya's bandaged hands and the listener/reader wonders about the source of her injuries, knowing that she escaped from the garden.
Any additional comments?
Coleridge's "...willing suspension of disbelief..." is necessary for many works of fiction. "The Butterfly Garden" requires such cooperation by the reader/listener for the core premise of the book and particularly in the final chapter.
