About this listen

A frozen lake…Cold-Blooded Murder.

A powerful man is found dead in his fish house on a frozen Minnesota lake, murdered, stabbed to death. His employees, family, and the local sheriff, all seem happy to have him gone - all except his personal assistant. With his death she is now forced to do something she thought she would never have to do, reveal secrets that will destroy the careers and lives of many - including a man set on being the next governor of the state.

Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension Agent Danny Carlisle has been given the assignment, her first as a lead agent, and she and her partner soon find they have too many suspects and too little evidence. But someone is doing them a favor, narrowing down their list of suspects by killing them off. The snow and bodies in Duluth accumulate, and Carlisle's boss is pushing her to find who is doing the killing, someone who seems to know her every move.

Interesting story!

Dislike the virtual voice and can't listen to most but this one isn't bad. A real human would be way better tho. The story was so good it made up for the artificial reading. I will look for more from this author

good good storyline but AI narration leaves a lot to be desired

The storyline is good but the virtual voice narration is not. The lack of inflection and also the lack of recognition of word pronunciation is definitely off-putting.

Virtual voice

Virtual voice cadence was awful. It was distracting and made the story hard to listen to. I will avoid others with a virtual voice.

Story line is good

The narration is extremely poor. It sounds like a machine. Rather use people with emotions

Voice narrator is distracting

For the most part, the AI narrator does a good job. However, there are times when the inflection and cadence are really far off and then it takes a few seconds to figure out what she is trying to say.

Just finished and I’m not a fan. Everyone’s voice sounds the same, no drama, no pregnant pause, just flat. Maybe this would work best for textbooks.
