À propos de cet audio
Agent Pendergast faces his most unexpected challenge yet when bloodless bodies begin to appear in Savannah, Georgia.
A fabulous heist:
On the evening of November 24, 1971, D. B. Cooper hijacked Flight 305—Portland to Seattle—with a fake bomb, collected a ransom of $200,000, and then parachuted from the rear of the plane, disappearing into the night … and into history.
A brutal crime steeped in legend and malevolence:
Fifty years later, Agent Pendergast takes on a bizarre and gruesome case: bodies are found with no blood left in their veins—sowing panic and reviving whispered tales of the infamous Savannah Vampire.
A case like no other:
As the mystery rises along with the body count, Pendergast and his partner, Agent Coldmoon, race to understand how—or if—these murders are connected to the only unsolved skyjacking in American history.
Together, they uncover not just the answer… but an unearthly evil beyond all imagining.

"BLOODLESS is their 20th novel featuring one of the most unique protagonists in all of thriller fiction, Agent Aloysius Pendergast, and may rank as one of the finest books they have ever penned together.... BLOODLESS is a pure pleasure to read and is like candy to thriller fans --- candy from which readers will drain every ounce of flavor in pure delight."—BookReporter

“Bloodless is rife with inventive scenarios, amusing exchanges (especially between oft-impatient Coldmoon and eternally placid Pendergast) and tantalizingly spooky mysteries, topped off with a gloriously wild finale that is as action-packed as it is memorable.”—BookPage (Starred Review)

I was a little taken aback by the creatures, I could have done without them - sorry.
I was not pleased with the narrator- he made Constance sound like she was 60.
He got AX down pat with the southern drawl- he got that right.

However………
I am not happy with the narration and/or sound engineering. First the characters were misrepresented - I think - by the voices, accents, and nuances of inflections. I felt the narrator was trying out every imitation of various actors he knew, including Owen Wilson, Katherine Hepburn, Jack Nicholson to name a few. The accents and intonations given to the characters (as discussed in other reviews) were not right given the historical back ground and development of some of the characters. Adding on top of it the inconsistency in volume. When characters were “whispering” it was a whisper requiring a turn up of the volume and when characters were boisterous it was loud and too much.
I do much of my listening in my car on my commute - my guilty pleasure and I was constantly having to adjust the volume up and down. Not sure if that is the sound engineer not adjusting for the narrators boisterous delivery or possibly inexperience with audible book narrating itself. Either way I wanted to be through this book as soon as possible as I was not finding it as entertaining as in the past.
So while I love the book, the plot and the ability to see relationships continue to develop between various characters, it was distracting to have to adjust for the sound and to get around the narrators interpretation of the characters tone and delivery - maybe he should have listened to a few of the previous ones for continuity in his approach.
Overall a great book but as other reviewers have said you might want to get the actual book or PDF version of this to save your ears.
Love this series - but the sound……
