SLAUGHTER OF INNOCENTS

A BRITISH CRIME THRILLER (DCI Garrick Book 1)

De: M.G. Cole

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

MURDER IN THE GARDEN OF ENGLAND

DCI David Garrick's world is already spinning out of control. Haunted by his sister's brutal murder and plagued by terrifying visions, he's barely holding it together. But Kent's darkness won't wait for him to recover.

When mutilated bodies start appearing across the county's picturesque villages, Garrick and his fresh-faced team are thrust into a shadowy underworld of human trafficking. Each victim bears the killer's signature – grotesque souvenirs carved from their flesh. But as the body count rises and the victims' identities remain shrouded in mystery, a chilling possibility emerges: they might be hunting more than one monster.

From acclaimed screenwriter Andy Briggs, writing as MG Cole, comes a haunting debut thriller that peels back the pristine façade of Kent's idyllic countryside to reveal its rotting core. MURDER IN THE GARDEN OF ENGLAND is a masterclass in psychological suspense that will keep you guessing until the final, blood-soaked page.

Perfect for fans of Peter James and Ian Rankin, this is the first chapter in a series that will redefine British crime fiction.

Great story, bad AI read9ng

I really liked the story. Character development was great, and the storyline intriguing. But the AI narrator was just not up to scratch. I'd have to keep rewinding and re-listen to parts to figure out who was saying what, and the dullness of the voice did nothing to convey the emotion of speech or the ambiance of the situations. In the end, I stopped listening, and would rather buy this book in hard copy to read it for myself.

Bad AI reading

I really wanted to like this but couldn't get into it with the AI reading it. There were no voice inflections and it was difficult to know which character was speaking.

Computer Generated Narration Sucks

Computer generated narration jarringly disrupts the narrative.
- Misplaced pauses and emphasis
- Inability to deal with hyphens (“minus”) or single letters (“businessahlevels”)
- Wrong pronunciation for the context or non-English language words (chili con carn, Al Capony), resulting in the wrong tense (read), meaning, usage, etc.
