The narrator was awful!! The narrator for the first 4 books was so much better. This one sounded like a street thug, not at all like an intelligent young woman working on her career. She read way too fast - which I read fast when I read to myself but she read as if she couldn’t wait to finish it. Her voice was so distracting I lost interest in the story.

Identity

Revisado: 06-03-23

Loved the story and the characters. The narrator did an excellent job. This book reminds me more of the author’s older works with its depth and story layers. I highly recommend it.

Not my favorite

Revisado: 03-11-23

I’m an NR fan but while the story line of this book was interesting, the some of the content was just unrealistic. And the narrators voice bothered me. The main female character sounded immature and silly unlike what you would expect from someone with a higher education.

Mean Streak

Excellent story with multiple twists. Narrator did a great job but I just agree with some of the other reviewers, the background music was rather distracting. I still feel compelled to recommend the book; however.

The Blue Bistro -

Revisado: 08-16-22

The plot of this book was interesting but I just could not get into the characters. The female lead, who is in her late 20’s, seemed like an immature teenager at times and the narrators performance seemed to support my thoughts on this. It was somewhat frustrating to read about her poor choices also. I really wanted to like this one and even though it was somewhat interesting, I found it lacking overall.

Envy

Revisado: 07-05-22

I don’t usually write a full review but felt compelled to do so. Excellent story, I read the book a few years ago & enjoyed it so I thought I would listen to it. The narrator did an absolutely awful job on the main male (Parker) characters voice. I’m from the south so I’m very familiar with a southern accent; however, the narrators choice of accent sounds more like an uneducated country hick than a well educated student of writing. One can speak with a drawl without the “duh, I’m slow witted”nuance. The accent was overly exaggerated and distracted me from the characters dialogue to the point that I almost stopped listening several times. In contrast, the other “voices” were well done. I implore this narrator to research the variations of a southern accent prior to EVER being recorded using one again.

Back of Beyond

Revisado: 12-08-21

The plot and the story line of this book was great. The lead male role of the book was lacking in character and as much as I wanted to “embrace him” I just did not. He had some redeeming qualities; however, I kept expecting him to improve his character traits, but his vices were the most described thing about him. The author did develop a young female character in a very engaging fashion. As unfair as it may seem, it is difficult not to compare this main character with Joe Pickett. I attribute this tendency to the similarities: both characters are lawmen and the setting (geography) was very similar.

Chasing Fire - not up to par

Revisado: 06-15-21

I’m a fan of NR’s books and I read Chasing Fire years ago and liked it. However, I didn’t really enjoy this audio version. The lead female character came across more as an egomaniacal smart ass than a strong capable woman. I’m all for strong women ( I am one) but this one was over the top in my opinion.

Genuine Lies

Revisado: 04-28-21

I’m a fan of NR books but I was skeptical of this one based on some of the reviews. But I really enjoyed it. The characters were well developed and the plot was great. It was a bit of a “whodunnit” but in a suspenseful way. I would not hesitate to recommend this book.

New Novel- Infinite - It’s a no for me !

Revisado: 03-16-21

I have enjoyed every book by Brian Freeman and I think I’ve read them all. However, this was my least favorite book. I don’t wish to give away any details of the story, but I found myself so frustrated with the direction of the novel that I had to force myself to finish it. I tried to tell myself “it must be the narrator because I love this author’s books”, but it was not just the narrator ( although his voice lacked inflection). It had a discouraging and seemingly endless plot. Sorry Mr. Freeman but I cannot give your book a good recommendation. The most I can offer is that there was indeed a plot. Kind Regards.
