Publisher's summary

In the small city of Rockton, Illinois, someone is tired of waiting. He's tired of standing in line at the grocery store and tired of waiting at the drive-through line. Now he's doing something about it.

The first murder rocks the city. The entire Bjornson family - except the father, Stephen - has been brutally murdered, and the killer has left a message behind, written in the victim's blood: Don't Waste People's Time. It's a grizzly start for two young detectives who've just become partners. But Max Larkin and Jesse Fairlane put their personal distaste for each other aside and start concentrating on how to find the killer from striking again. As they investigate the scene of the crime and interview Stephen at the hospital, the clues slowly begin to add up. Could this be a deranged killer who struck 10 years ago and has now returned to the area? Before they can answer that question, another murder is reported, and Max and Jesse suddenly realize they have a serial killer on the loose. But as they get closer to the truth, a past memory begins to haunt Max, one that might lead to a break in the case - or the end of his career.

Terrible Narrator

Any additional comments?

The book was interesting enough for me to keep listening . The narrator must be from Chicago and used very few contractions, the same voice for all the characters and basically monotone throughout. Though I struggled through it and I don't think you should waste a credit on this one.

Giving 2 stars for effort.

Author obviously spent time and effort to write this but it was not captivating. The language was very basic and mechanical - not at all how regular people speak. The reader was monotone and rigid as well. Maybe it was the story, maybe the reader, but I would not recommend.

Why

Why would anyone give money or lit him read this Audeo? Someone that can not act at all. I made it to chapter 2. 🤔
