À propos de cet audio

Other than the bullet lodged less than a centimeter from his heart, former Detroit police officer Alex McKnight thought he had put the nightmare of his partner's death and his own near-fatal injury behind him. After all, Maximilian Rose, convicted of the crimes, has been locked in the state pen for years. But in the small town of Paradise, Michigan, where McKnight has traded his badge for a cozy cabin in the woods, a murderer with Rose's unmistakable trademarks appears to be back to his killing ways. With Rose locked away, McKnight can't understand who else would know the intimate details of the old murders - not to mention the signature blood-red rose left on his doorstep. And it seems like it'll be a frozen day in Hell before McKnight can unravel the cold truth from a deadly deception in a town that's anything but paradise.

Acceptable Crime Fiction. Lazy Production Values.

Michigan crime author Steve Hamilton fashions a very interesting Private Investigator: PTSD-afflicted ex-Detroit PD officer 'Alex McKnight'. The character is conflicted & imperfect but ethical, patient, intuitive, and admirably relatable. In this introductory story, Hamilton puts the character up against duplicitous friends, openly hostile local Law Enforcement, a veangeful scorned woman, and a clever murderous villain who wants to torture him with traumatic memories. The vocabulary/prose is capable, the dialogue is plausible, and the description is decent.
Less fortunately, Hamilton packs the story with injudiciously-placed action (his pacing is noticeably subpar), some character motivations are ludicrous, he drops F-bombs like few I have heard before, and some of the forensics are glaringly inaccurate. Still.. I've read worse.

The Narration on this project is similarly "adequate". Nick Sullivan delivers very professional diction, cadence, and timbre - but reads a little too slowly (listen at 1.10X) and with melodramatic overemphasis and cartoonish voice-acting that occasionally had my eyes rolling with "Puh-leeze" running through my head.
In addition, Blackstone Audio editors allow two repetitive sequences to remain spliced into the recording. That level of indifference is unforgiveable and drop the rating of the book considerably.

Taken altogether, this 3.5/10 star offering was a fair way to spend a couple of quiet afternoons (I guess), but if it weren't included in the 'Plus' initiative, it wouldn't be worth the investment.
If Audible asks for a Credit, spend it somewhere else.

[Incidentally: If you simply Google "How much blood is in a human body?" the answer isn't "all 14 or 15 pints."]
