À propos de cet audio
Jonathan Stride and Serena Dial are both investigating high-profile murders in Las Vegas. A celebrity is assassinated during a fling with a prostitute, and a young boy is killed in a brutal hit-and-run incident. When the cases converge, Jonathan and Serena find themselves racing the clock against a determined serial killer and searching for a connection to the unsolved murder of a showgirl years earlier.
Freeman's vivid cast of characters exposes all of Las Vegas' dirty secrets, past and present. And in a rooftop showdown amid the ruins of a 1960s-era casino, the chase comes to a stunning climax.
Like the author's Immoral, Stripped pushes the emotional and sexual limits of its heroes and keeps the listener riveted until the last shocking plot twist.
©2006 Brian Freeman (P)2006 Blackstone Audio Inc.The characters are interesting, the dialogue is capably scripted, the investigation is twisty-turny, and the crimes are plotted nicely (albeit being a little overly-complicated), but Freeman colors his story with X-rated scenes that only succeed in taking readers out of the illusion of realism for an otherwise captivating Procedural ("The hooker took his cock in her mouth and sucked harder as he got close").
It's not totally off-putting.. just a little too much.
As to narration: It must be pointed out that Joe Barrett is NOT a good voice-actor. His crisp diction, baritone timbre, comfortable cadence, and emotive tone for this recording are all legitimately praiseworthy (and the technical support from Blackstone Audio is exemplary) - but his Minnesota accent for detective 'Jonathan Stride' is over-the-top, his sultry husky-whisper for transgendered detective 'Amanda Gillan' is straight-up chuckleworthy, and I'm frankly amazed that his cartoonishly racist Black character voices were permitted to stand.
(Note: Barrett is admittedly following the script he was given: Freeman writes laughably stereotypical "jive-talking street-N-word" dialogue.)
Even if you can get it for free, investing the time to listen to this 5/10 star offering might be tough to justify. You're not crazy to give it a try if you are in love with the gritty Mystery-Thriller genre (as I am), but even then.. should they ask for a Credit.. I recommend a Pass.
Ridiculously Hypersexualized.. but Passable
