Publisher's Summary

1st To Die: Booktrack Edition adds an immersive musical soundtrack to your audiobook listening experience!

Imagine a killer who thinks, "What is the worst thing anyone has ever done?"—and then goes far beyond it. Now imagine four women—a police detective, an assistant DA, a reporter, and a medical examiner—who join forces as they sidestep their bosses to track down criminals. Known as the Women's Murder Club, they are pursuing a murderer whose twisted imagination has stunned an entire city. Their chief suspect is a socially prominent writer, but the men in charge won't touch him. On the trail of the most terrifying and unexpected killer ever, they discover a shocking surprise that turns everything about the case upside down.

Booktrack is an immersive format that pairs traditional audiobook narration to complementary music. The tempo and rhythm of the score are in perfect harmony with the action and characters throughout the audiobook. Gently playing in the background, the music never overpowers or distracts from the narration, so listeners can enjoy every minute. When you purchase this Booktrack edition, you receive the exact narration as the traditional audiobook available, with the addition of music throughout.

Fast pace thriller.

So many twists and turns. And the story moves along at a good pace. Looking forward to Book #2.

I couldn’t hear or concentrate on the story because of the music. Couldn’t get passed chapter 8

Annoying music

Perpetual background music contributes nothing but distraction from the narrator. I’m not usually inclined to comment and I haven’t yet finished the book but I’m afraid I will recollect it “that story with the pointless distracting plunky music.

Background music ruins it

I don't like the background music at all, hopefully it's not in all the books.

What the music?!

I wanted to finish this book - I really did but there is music playing in the background and it was terribly awful and distracting I had to stop after about an hour. Ugh.

well done

This was a very good start to a series recommended to me by a friend. The problem I had was the back grounds sounds through out. I kept stopping the book to find out where the ring, music, and other sounds were coming from. It was very distracting.
