About this listen

 Wayne Castine was found brutally murdered and the murderer remains at large. Castine, a suspected child predator, was killed in Brattleboro where he was involved with a tangled network of an extended family living in a local trailer park. Any member of the clan would have had the opportunity to kill him, and, as he was involved with both the mother and her 12-year-old daughter, reason to commit the murder.

At the same time, Joe Gunther has learned that his girlfriend Lyn Silva's fisherman father and brother, believed lost at sea off the coast of Maine, might have actually been murdered. Without enough solid information to warrant law-enforcement involvement, Lyn returns to Maine to try and investigate Gunther's findings. Gunther periodically puts his ongoing murder investigation on hold - irritating his colleagues and angering his bosses - to go and help Lyn in Maine. It appears increasingly possible that her father and brother weren't the good guys that Lyn always believed them to be and that they might have been involved with vicious smugglers who murdered them - and might do the same to Lyn if she keeps pushing.

Torn between his conscience and his heart, a murder investigation and a personal search for the truth, Gunther finds that betrayal and loyalty are often a matter of viewpoint.

I found it hard to adjust to this new narrator. I had grown to love the characters and it was jarring to try to adjust. The story was as good as always but the new voice a distraction.

I really don’t like his voice or his interpretations of the cast get rid of him

Enjoyed the book but it was spoilt by the dreadful narration. Joe sounded as if he was struggling with a particularly nasty bout of laryngitis.

Awful narrator

had to stop

The story is good, keep you engaged but not keen on the new narrator. In most performances where the narrator can’t cope with the range of characters, it is the minor characters that get mangled; but here the main character is the one that is difficult to listen to.
Joe seems to either be going through a strange sort of puberty with ups and downs in the voice, or he’s being strangled and every word is an effort to force out.

Story OK but narration no so good

no nope no no no cannot listen to this narrator ruins the whole Gunther persona not to mention Willy smh I can't comment on the actual story because the narration made it impossible to even distinguish characters so I have up .big shame

awful narrator

Takes a bit of getting used to the new narrator but persevere as it is a good story and the characters do evolve a little bit more

Good one

Sometimes the way the story was being read made it harder to stay interested. I really liked the reading done by Tom Taylorson they grabbed you and pulled you through the story sadly not so with this reader . He is quite good but not in comparison to the previous one. I'll keep going with this reader and you never know I might end up prefaring him but I don't think so.

decent story not the greatest reader

I found the narrator off putting, not giving the characters the same persona or feeling of depth as Mr Taylorsson.

The plot was and storyline felt rushed and the lead a bit self centred rather than a team player.

Poor narration

Another new narrator - thank goodness it's not the same as the last book. This chap - while still not Tom Taylorson, is a million times better than the last chap. Miles better story too- actually about Joe Gunther.! Thank goodness!

Back on track!
