À propos de cet audio
He surfaced two years ago. Then he disappeared.
But Detective Angie Pallorino hasn't forgotten the violent rapist who left a distinctive calling card—crosses etched into the flesh of his victim's foreheads. When a comatose Jane Doe is found in a local cemetery, sexually assaulted, mutilated, and nearly drowned, Angie is struck by the eerie similarities to her earlier unsolved rapes. Could he be back?
Then the body of a drowned young woman, also bearing the marks of the serial rapist, floats up in the Gorge, and the hunt for a predator becomes a hunt for a killer. Assigned to the joint investigative task force, Angie is more than ready to prove that she has what it takes to break into the all-male homicide division. But her private life collides with her professional ambitions when she's introduced to her temporary partner, James Maddocks—a man she'd met just the night before in an intense, anonymous encounter.
Together, Angie and Maddocks agree to put that night behind them. But as their search for the killer intensifies, so does their mutual desire. And Angie's forays into the mind of a monster shake loose some unsettling secrets about her own past. How can she fight for the truth when it turns out her whole life is a lie?

The drowned girls
The story was awesome. Fast paced the way I like it. My only “complaint” which was more an irritation than anything else was the narrators accent. Not sure if she was trying to sound “Canadian” or what but we do t talk like that. The l in calm and palm were not silent as they should be and toque is pronounced toook not toke lol an entirely different work. But still a good listen

Gripping story almost spoiled by narrator
Once again Loreth Anne White presents a well crafted, flawlessly paced story with complex, fully human characters. Sadly, the narrator was a very unfortunate choice.
This book takes place in Victoria, BC, Canada. The narrator obviously has no understanding of the cultural difference between Canadian and American police, and that is fundamental to this book. She goes for the hard-boiled, 1950's tough guy. This book was not written like that, and she is way too girl-next-door to pull it off. Her grating Walter Brennan meets Elmer Fudd voice for male characters (and even the female pathologist) is almost risible. She compensates for not understanding the nuances and fatal flaws of the characters by cliched overacting. It's a violence they do not deserve.
In Canada, 'route' is pronounced 'root'. It does not rhyme with 'out'. She clearly has no idea what a toque is, and pronounces it 'toke'. . This is laziness. A quick internet search will tell you.
It's a really good book, but stick to print or Kindle.

Story ruined by awful narration & excessive porn
If you've read the books in this series, then listened to this narration, you've had two very different experiences.
This narrator takes a strong female character, Angie Pallorino, and turns her into a high-strung, trembling-voiced drama queen. Actually, all the female characters sound like they're on the verge of hysterics while the men sound like almost bored gangsters.
Add to that the distractions of mispronunciation of so many words:
- "toque" is NOT pronounced "toke"
- a BMW is a "beamer", NOT a "bimmer"
- "route" is pronounced like "root", NOT like a computer router
As a Canadian, this was so distracting.
Also . . . why did Ms White turn this into a soft porn? I'm no prude, but if I wanted porn, I would have bought porn.
I think I'll take a break from this author, and I'll definitely never purchase anything narrated by Julie McKay.
