About this listen
A former Medal of Valor winner, Minnesota detective Alexander Rupert is now under subpoena by a grand jury on suspicion of corruption. So when he's asked to look into the false identity of a car-accident victim named James Putnam, a man who in fact died 15 years earlier, Rupert sees a potentially big case and an opportunity to regain his respectability.
But the investigation puts him in the path of "the Beast", the nom de guerre of Drago Basta, a cunning veteran of the Balkan wars and a sociopath assassin who has been searching for Putnam for years. Putnam had something that Basta still wants. If Rupert's life was in shambles before, it's now also in danger. Threatened by the Beast and suspecting his wife of cheating, Rupert falls for the seductions of the dead man's former girlfriend. As he feels his life spinning out of control, his steadfast brother and fellow police detective Max may be Rupert's last hope.

Good Book
I am unsure why Allen Eskens includes this novel in the 'Joe Talbert' series - the intriguing amateur sleuth with the fascinating family history doesn't even make an appearance - but the standalone merit of the book makes it a serviceable read. Eskens is a little bit heavy-handed with the sex components of plotting (offering a story involving prostitutes and numerous cheating spouses), but I enjoyed the pacing, description, and true-to-life dialogue.
As to presentation: Narrator Jonathan Yen is capable and enthusiastic, but not a very good voice actor. His female character interpretations are occasionally annoying. Altogether, Tantor Audio Inc. could have gotten similarly effective results with any other professional reader.
In toto, I give 'The Guise Of Another' 6.5 stars out of 10. It was a reasonable 'Plus' title, but given the other options available, not worth a Credit if they ask for one.
[Note: Eskens is an uncommonly courageous author: he kills off main characters at a rate that makes 'Game Of Thrones' seem tame]

Grating Narrator
Story was fine. Narration was just plain bad, especially the women’s breathy voices. Almost quit several times.

Good Thriller
The story line was very good. A but was predictable, but some good twists. I disliked the narration. The voices for the females were horrible. Made it hard to develop any feeling for those characters.

Where did this narrator audition? Off-off Broadway?
The story was quite good, but dude reads it like he’s incredulous to all of it. People just don’t talk like that. The constant intonation is GRATING. You might not have a face for radio, but you certainly don’t have a voice for audiobooks.

Not a bad plot, but twists were lacking a bit
It seemed a little lean on the suspense side. Liked some of his other books better
