Review 1: The Drowned Girls – Angie Pallorino Book 1 audiobook by Lia
Excellent New Series
Holy, holy, holy cow! What an intense, edgy, sitting-on-the-seat-of-my-pants novel. About 25% of the way into the book I was wondering if I could keep reading it. Detective Angie Pallorino might be too broken to tolerate as a heroine. Then along comes James Maddocks — a strong, caring, tough homicide detective brand new to Victoria, B.C. Maybe he is too good and is this going to be an angst-driven romance? Big sigh — just keep reading. The plot is spectacular, hints and red herrings galore, police procedural spot on (as much as I know of Canada law – which is not much), and more than one bad guy and different levels of bad guys. Pretty soon, I was sighing again — big gulps of air filled with tension and out loud exclamations about what I was listening to. I was hooked completely. This was not my first Loreth Anne White book. I like her writing and I am so glad I read and trusted the reviews. Super book. A new great mystery/crime/detective writer for me to read.
Julie McKay was outstanding with the delivery of the story
Review 2: The Drowned Girls – Angie Pallorino Book 1 audiobook by Jessica Rimert
Seriously couldn’t get through the first hour
All I can say is seriously? Sounded like it had a great great story and plot and I was really looking forward to this listen, but right up front the narration was super annoying, which I thought I could deal with. Then… the hotel scene. It seemed like the author’s agent said “you know, this is pretty good, but you know what it needs? Some really unrealistic pornography-style sex, right at the beginning”. I couldn’t deal hearing the narrator say “cock” or talk about his wonderful, gigantic cock one more time. If I wanted to read mommy bed time stories, there’s a whole genre made for that. I am by no means a prude, but it was so forced and so out of the scope of the story that I thought I was reading. I chose this b/c it was a suspense/thriller. Total turn off. If you’re not into gratuitous sex scenes, skip this one. I couldn’t even finish.
Review 3: The Drowned Girls – Angie Pallorino Book 1 audiobook by dominique
Interesting plot/so so narration
I was really excited to start this book but oh boy was I disappointed in the narration. The plot and story were fine, but I couldn’t get into it as much as I wanted because of the narrator. All of the male characters sounded the same! I couldn’t tell any of them apart and the narrator made them all sound like they were from a B Italian mob movie! It was so irritating! Plus every sentence sounded like it was a question . “ She walked down the hall?” UGH it was awful. I think I would have liked this book better if I had read a paper copy of it. The plot was interesting, the main character was a little flawed with hopes of redemption and a romantic story line that could turn into more in future installments. Three things I like to see in books.
Hopefully if this series continues to a 3rd book (the second is already out with this narrator) they will get someone else to voice it.
