À propos de cet audio

It was a bleak November in 2012 when Cari Lea Farver vanished from Omaha, Nebraska. Cari, 37, was a devoted mother, reliable employee, and loyal friend - not the type to shirk responsibilities, abandon her son, and run off on an adventure while her dying father took his last breaths. Yet, the many texts from her phone indicated she had done just that.

While Cari's boyfriend, Dave Kroupa, and her supervisor were bewildered by her abrupt disappearance, they accepted the texts at face value. Her mother, Nancy Raney, however, was alarmed and reported Cari missing. Police were skeptical of her claims that a cyber impostor had commandeered her daughter's phone and online identity.

While Nancy was afraid for Cari, Dave Kroupa was growing afraid of her, for he believed Cari was stalking him. Never seen or heard, the stalker was aware of his every move and seemed obsessed by his casual girlfriend, Shanna "Liz" Golyar, often calling her "a fat whore" in the 12,000 emails and texts he received in a disturbing three-year deluge.

There was some truth in the messages, but all of them contained one big lie. The culprit was not Cari - but had killed and planned to kill again.

This story is full of chills and complexities that pull the reader into a dark place where the world is incredibly dangerous. I recommend this story to anyone who wants a good read.

A very good story line

This Leslie Rule book - her first attempt at a True Crime exposé - is distinctly "average". She does a very good job delivering an attention-grabbing narrative and untangling a complicated case (involving cyberstalking & multiple misrepresented identities perpetrated by a hard-to-believe-she's-real psychopath).. but incorporates ephemeral and meaningless details - each requiring extensive research (e.g. the average price of homes in the victim's community according to the local Real Estate Board for some reason).
Rule is a punctilious documentarian but fails to recognize irrelevancies and lacks her mother's uncanny ability to make victims & families relatable/investigations flow organically.

As to presentation: Highbridge Audio Inc. did very well casting Tanya Eby to read the book. To be sure, her delivery is definitely often mechanical.. but her diction, timbre, and voice-acting are also legitimately praiseworthy. I would listen to more from Ms. Eby any day (and have).

Altogether, I rate 'A Tangled Web' 6.5 stars out of 10. It's worth your time as a free selection, but spending a Credit on it would be questionable.. given your other options (including some truly great books by the prolific Ann Rule)

I stopped listening after an hour due to the terrible and robotic performance! Although I wasn't expecting an emotive performance it was so flat and staccato I was actually convinced it may have been AI generated. Siri and Alexa could have delivered a better performance.

Terrible Performance!
