Story was okay but narrator’s attempts to do French and German accents was off-putting making the listening less enjoyable.

Terrible, couldn’t listen to narrator for any longer… only got 2chapters in… she really needs to get her accents right if she is going to do them… he sounded like a German war nazi, not French at all… sorry awful!

This story could have used a bit more research. The pharmaceutical part was unbelievable. Also, an agent scared of her gun?

Meh. The story is meh. The narration is meh. It takes 8 hours for the author to describe very little action. Very little actually happens but and it takes forever to actually happen. Glad it was free.

I really enjoyed the story line. Instantly captivated me and I couldn’t stop listening. Bit of a predictable ending though, what usually to expect with these type of novels.

Left to die, had a lot of redundancy, The author spent too much time in the characters heads The narrator needs to become more believable when she is speaking for the male characters

Good story, well-written. I'll be getting more from this author. The narrator was a bit stilted at times, but not to the point of distraction.

Where to begin? We're told numerous times that our heroine, Adele Sharp, is an intuitive, intelligent, first-rate investigator. Good thing, too, because everything she does, says and thinks would indicate otherwise. The plot holes are roomy enough for a division of tanks to be pulled through by the planet's largest pod of blue whales. Who sends a foreign LEO by himself to interview a potential serial killer suspect in a city he's not familiar with and does not read or speak the language! This may be the first book in a series, but it's last work of this author we'll to which we will listen. The narrator is not bad, I do wonder why the names of French characters are given English language pronunciation.

This is the first book I've listened to by this author and I was not completely disappointed. However, if this book was to stand alone and not have the main character returning in a series, I probably wouldn't go out of my way to search out additional books from this author to listen to. The main character Adele is quite a gem and I'm looking forward to listening to more of her adventures.

good story...nice twists...accents sound Russian instead of French...

The story was minimally engaging, had the elements of being a good story but while the outline had promise the details didn’t make it work. Add to that a wildly non-French accent throughout... which is just insulting since especially the Parisian accent is well recognized. Not a series I’ll be following.

The main character is constantly described in detail ,how she breathes her facial expressions, how she is walking etc, too much uninteresting details I am bored now, very little about solving a crime or much story line. Read enough will find a more absorbing book. Not for me.

Listened for 2 of the 8 hours and have hardly any desire to finish. Cannot get into or understand the garbled french language the narrator spits out. Most the many supporting male characters are described as having strong jaws. The story starts out decent, then just seems to ramble on incoherently. The main character, Adell, is portrayed as being so perfect that it's hard for me to relate to her.

I thought it was a pretty good book. Nothing really special about it, but it was an easy listen.
