Story4.5 out of 5 stars 553
The son of a struggling single mother, Jamie Conklin just wants an ordinary childhood. But Jamie is no ordinary child. Born with an unnatural ability his mom urges him to keep secret, Jamie can see what no one else can see and learn what no one else can learn. But the cost of using this ability is higher than Jamie can imagine—as he discovers when an NYPD detective draws him into the pursuit of a killer who has threatened to strike from beyond the grave.

The narration was great, I wish this guy narrated more. Not my favourite of King’s.

I did not like the narration. I was confused at times who was speaking.
The story was not anything shocking. It had twists but they’re pretty basic and easily guessable. I was 2 hours in when I guessed what would happen. It’s pretty basic.
All of the characters are unlikable and you’re not rooting for anyone and you’re not invested to what happens to anyone. I found the main guy and his partner, Claire absolutely unbearable.

Story4 out of 5 stars 175
Paul Davis is hearing some very strange noises in the night. He hears the clickety-click of a manual typewriter - as if someone is vigorously tapping the keys. The eerie sounds began soon after his wife, Charlotte, bought him a classic antique Underwood. But only Paul can hear the noises. Eight months ago, he stumbled upon Connecticut's infamous "Apology Killer" - a psychopath who forced his victims to typewrite personal apologies to him before he cut their throats - disposing of two mutilated bodies on Milford's Post Road. Most shocking of all, the killer was his colleague, someone he thought he knew.

Good narrator, good story. I wasn’t particularly surprised by any of the “twists” they were a bit predictable but overall it’s a good listen.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 42
The perfect neighborhood can be the perfect place to hide… Who wouldn’t want to live in Brighton Hills? This exclusive community on the Oregon coast is the perfect mix of luxury and natural beauty. Stunning houses nestle beneath mighty Douglas firs, and lush backyards roll down to the lakefront. It’s the kind of place where neighbors look out for one another. Sometimes a little too closely…

The story is good, nothing shocking but it is an enjoyable story. However, the narration is AWFUL. I always listen to the sample before buying but it’s not a good representation. She made all the characters sound unbearably annoying. It was hard to listen to, and kind of makes you hate the characters. She has this way of saying some vowels very slowly. It’s a very odd way of speaking. If you want to read the story, I’d recommend actually reading this one.

Slow paced
Reviewed: 2023-08-08
It’s just barely a thriller/mystery. It’s super slow paced and the mystery isn’t solved for ten long years. There’s zero good police work in this book. They stumble upon everything they learn and Shelby relies entirely on her gut.
I found a lot of the characters hard to differentiate as the voices are the same. Listening to Anna whine is absolutely painful.

Not really a thriller/mystery
Reviewed: 2023-08-04
The characters are all unlikeable, Jake is unbearable! Calling it a mystery/thriller is incredibly misleading. It’s literally just about a lottery win until there’s only 3.5 hours left. There’s a couple little surprises in the final hours… but they’re not at all surprising. There is one at the very end that’s surprising, but irrelevant when you finally learn it.
Also the Toma story-line, and the bathroom scene…. Why??? It was a lot of filler.
I would absolutely listen to this narrator again. I also liked the writing, the story was just very boring.

Some lines should never be crossed. Police corruption, an investigation that ends in tragedy and the mystery of a little girl’s silence – three unconnected events that will prove to be linked by one small town. While detective Cormac Reilly faces enemies at work and trouble in his personal life, garda Peter Fisher is relocated out of Galway with the threat of prosecution hanging over his head. But even that is not as terrible as having to work for his overbearing father, the local copper for the pretty seaside town of Roundstone.

I absolutely love listening to anything narrated by Alice McMahon. Dervla books never disappoint. I will say I found a lot of the characters in this really unlikeable but maybe that’s building on the corruption in the force story line.
