About this listen

A serial killer is stalking Virginia’s young lovers, taking their lives and taunting police with a single clue: a jack of hearts. For two years, the meaning of this card has eluded FBI investigators. But as Scarpetta begins searching the victims’ remains for microscopic clues, she begins to suspect that someone in the FBI knows more about the murderer.

I love to listen while I’m gardening. So I didn’t catch the background noise. I actually really like the narrator. I did find one chapter a little to.. like filler- it droned on, but overall very enjoyable.

Love the dogs

It was very suspenseful It kept you guessing till the very end
I just wish that there was a connection with killer throughout the plot and not just at the end

A lot of twists and turns

Book 3 - I wasn’t as taken by this story as much as the 1st 2. Felt a little more disjointed and not so connected to the Medical Examiner. She was involved but sometimes wondered what she was up to.
Kept me wondering till late in the book, who the killer might be… Dramatic ending

I couldn’t get past chapter 2. The narration drive me crazy. Too many long pauses in between paragraphs. I’ll have to read the book myself to see if it’s good or not.

Didn’t like narration

Please, please say there will be a better narrator for the rest of the series! I cannot believe they let this person narrate more than one audio book.

Love Cornwell - Cannot Stand the Narrator

Not sure what is going on with this one, you can hear a lot of background noise and talking during this one. Drove me crazy. Sounded like narrator was in a call centre using noise reduction headphones/mic.

Love this series, but…

Overall the story was great. At times the Dr was a bit annoying when dealing with her relationship. Very willing to give advice to others but acting like a teenager herself. I do not like the narrator. I also felt the quality of the recording was substandard. Some chapters were announced; others were not. I’ll listen to the next one but am not super excited about it.

Loved the Story

the narration is soo bad and it gets worse throughout the book. I muscled through it, but it took away from the story.

The ending sucked and leaves you feeling bereft. It felt like the author rushed to wrap things up in the end by trying to explain everything in the last 10-15 minutes in a conversation between officials. A conversation that was just conjecture because not only did they not have any true evidence, but they had no interview with the actual killer,
so the ending and the demise of the killer fell flat.

To be honest, the entire story fell flat for me. There was no real intrigue in this novel. No cat and mouse of the officials trying to catch the bad guy, it was more, someone got killed and they investigated, the end. That rush you get when drawn into a good book wasn't there. that intense need or want to catch the person or the suspense created as the killer evades officials wasn't there.

It felt like the blandest story. Here’s how it goes: people get killed, bodies are examined, a whole lot of politics, a whole lot of questions but no answers and hours and hours of no progress in the story. Then, the examiner and reporter investigate on their own and stumble across a valid suspect. Still no intrigue, still no cat and mouse, no cunningness, evasion or escalation by the killer. The officials tail the suspect and get nothing but a minor infraction. the killer is killed (we don't see it happen and when we hear it...because it was recorded..it was dissatisfying). officials chat about how they believe things happened. the end.
I get more excitement, reading 'green eggs and ham'.

It was boring. period. There was no ingenuity and no cunningness in this novel. If this novel was a voice, it would be monotone.

Should have been way better than it was.
