But the more they dig into Roy's past, the more they encounter obstacles, half-truths, dead-ends, false friends, and escalating threats from every direction. But their investigation is derailed before it begins-en route to their first meeting with Bergin, Sean and Michelle find him murdered.It is now up to them to ask the questions no one seems to want answered: Is Roy a killer? Who murdered Bergin? With help from some surprising allies, they continue to pursue the case. Sean King and Michelle Maxwell are called in by Roy's attorney, Sean's old friend and mentor Ted Bergin, to help work the case. Sadly, I can't give the writing a star rating as the narration makes it impossible to judge the writing on its merits.Summary Edgar Roy – an alleged serial killer held in a secure, fortress-like Federal Supermax facility – is awaiting trial. And they should offer it free to those of us who've so sadly wasted this credit! I consider the one-star rating a reflection on the narration. I only hope maybe they will release another version of this book with a single reader. If narration is important in your listening experience, consider this a huge warning. And this one in particular is horrible!! Just as I get into the story, SHE pops up and it's like nails on a chalkboard. It takes you out of the flow of the listen. I have listened to many audiobooks, and the multiple reader format in general doesn't work well.
I'm really trying to like this story, I'm really trying to FINISH this book, but at this point, it's not looking good. I found myself hoping someone would just shoot Michelle and put us out of her misery! Unfortunately, as she's one of the main protagonists, I assume that sadly it won't happen. Every character she interprets comes across as ridiculous and snarky and unlikeable.
The reason being the narration, particularly with the female reader.
I'm a big Baldacci fan, and not even halfway through part 1 of this book, I am struggling to try to like the story, which I can't even comprehend.
