Left to Die

Selena Alvarez/Regan Pescoli, Book 1

De: Lisa Jackson

Narrado por: Natalie Ross

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Lisa Jackson comes the chilling, riveting novel that first introduced Detectives Selena Alvarez and Regan Pescoli, hunting for a serial killer who is both savior and executioner....

In the lonely woods around Grizzly Falls, Montana, the first body is discovered, stripped naked and tied to a tree. Alvarez and Pescoli have been hoping for a career-making case, but this is a nightmare. The killer stages car accidents on icy, isolated roads and “rescues” his victims. He toys with them, heals them, earns their trust...before subjecting them to a slow, agonizing death.

When Jillian Rivers opens her eyes, she’s trapped in a mangled car. Then a stranger, claiming to be a trail guide, pries her free. Though she’s grateful, something about him sets Jillian on edge. And if she knew what was lying in wait for her, she’d be truly terrified....

Even with the FBI involved, Selena and Regan have nothing to go on but a series of cryptic notes, and the unsettling knowledge that there is much worse to come. Piece by piece, the killer’s brutal plan is taking shape. But his final move will be the most shocking - and personal - of all....

The narrator was annoying, unsure about the book.

I couldn't get past the first chapter. The narrator annoyed me. I put 4 for the book because I don't want to unintentionally lower the books score since I couldn't listen to the narrator.

you feel like it's going somewhere the whole time.

but it doesn't, 17 hours is a long time to not wrap it up. it was entertaining enough, but end abruptly with no real closure.

ok but characters are annoying

interesting storyline but the characters were simply too meladramatic for my taste. The female lead Jillian was so annoying I was hoping the killer would hurry up.

narrator made it hard to get through

I read book 2 at the beach and LOVED it, then found out there was a series. I couldn't wait to hop on audible and listen to the rest of the series, so I started with book 1. The narrator makes it SO incredibly difficult to get through! Since I read book 2 I had my own idea of each character's personalities. This whisper, dull narration completely messes with the characters and makes it so much more dull. If you speed it up it does help a little bit. I haven't checked yet but I'm hoping hoping hoping this is not the same narrator for the whole series. if it is, I don't think I can do it.

Great book!

I enjoyed this book a lot. I couldn’t stop listening to it. Very well written. Love the cliffhanger bc it just means I get to hear another one. Highly recommend this if you like a good mystery and suspense thriller.

Left to Die by Lisa Jackson Alvarez & Pescoli Book

This book was great at keeping me engaged with the story of new cop partners Selena Alvarez & Regan Pescoli. They have a serial killer at work, who shoots out tires, gets the female driver out, nurses them back to health, then strips them naked and ties them to a tree to freeze to death. I was very engaged in this story. I listened to the audio book narrated by Natalie Ross. She did an excellent job with the voices. This is 5 stars.

Good

Good but found all the sexual details unnecessary and just weird. It would be better without it.

LEFT TO DIE

Lisa Jackson is an incredible author. This is the 1st book in the Regan Pescili and Selena Alvarez series and I can't wait to start book # 2.

very long, multiple stories

I struggled to finish it due to multiple stories interwoven.
..better voice performance may have helped with very long stoies....which left me hanging with main story line.

Horrible Narrator

I couldn’t get thru the first three chapters without falling asleep. Could’ve been a good story otherwise.
