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?]
Not Terrible
