Not Terrible
The characters in this Gregg Olsen Mystery-Thriller are almost shockingly authentic. Olsen writes dialogue that readers/listeners could imagine being overheard: these people are living the events and we just happen to be witnessing their trials & tribulations.
Less fortunately, Olsen's characters - from self-obsessed investigators to quibbling ex-spouses to bafflingly secretive high school students - are straight-up contemptible. If I met these people in real life, I would walk in the other direction. I couldn't really get into the plot because I could not care less what happened to any of them.
As to presentation: Reader Karen Peakes is decidedly professional with regard to diction, timbre, cadence, and pacing - and her understanding of the author's intended tone is truly commendable - but her voice-acting repertoire is disappointingly cartoonish. Her false-basso "husky" male character portrayals, for example, are often legitimately cringeworthy. This recording is "adequate" at best.
Altogether, 'A Cold Dark Place' merits 5 stars out of 10. It's a reasonable way to spend a couple of quiet afternoons if you find it in the 'Plus' catalog, but not worth a Credit.
[NOTE: I had considered listening to the next book in the 'Emily Kenyon' series of Crime Thrillers (likewise free) based on Olsen's effective hyperrealistic exposition style.. but the protagonist is so strikingly unlikeable that strong plotting/writing can't overcome my reservations. Maybe you'll have more luck?]

wow was this bad
I started skipping soon after the daughter went missing because Emily got tiring really quickly. How many times was she going to say "where is my daughter" to no one but herself? Hiding evidence because it would further incriminate her daughter? Woman, if your daughter turns out to be helping, her arse should be going to jail. This character came across as one that would easily go corrupt to shield a murderer if that murderer was someone she cared about.
I thought she was supposed to be investigating a family murdered, yet she ups and flies to a different state chasing after her daughter like a bounty hunter. This story is so convoluted and contains too much unnecessary drama:
-an ex boyfriend who can't take no for an answer and practically stalks her to get her back
an ex husband who keeps making up things or pushing for the daughter to stay with him for the summer, while Emily keeps rehashing the past
-the ex's new girlfriend who is pregnant and comes across as ditzy and immature
_emily who is convinced she knows her daughter, though a ton of information comes out from the start that proves otherwise
-on and on
I would have preferred if the daughter was kidnapped and she needed to solve the mystery of the other murders to find her daughter. This running in circle nonsense was all over the place and Emily's character was too unlikeable to make this story work. It was so bad that I kept hoping they would find the daughter dead so we could get to the actual investigating and make the story make sense.
The female narrator is great at doing older voices, but holy was she one dimensional when it came to younger people. they all sounded like the 80s and 90s version of a ditzy blond.
