À propos de cet audio

The hooker was young, pretty...and dead, butchered in a Greenwich Village apartment. The prime suspect, a minister's son, was also dead, the victim of a jailhouse suicide. The case is closed, as far as the NYPD is concerned. Now the murdered prostitute's father wants it opened again--that's where Matthew Scudder comes in. But this assignment carries the unmistakable stench of sleaze and perversion, luring Scudder into a sordid world of phony religion and murderous lust where children must die for their parents' most unspeakable sins.

This Lawrence Block novel is written in the style of 60s/70s Crime Thrillers - transitional between old school Chandler/Hammett mysteries and the gritty, violent, sexy Patterson/Connelly offerings of the 80s and 90s. There are both "hard-boiled" elements to ex-NYPD detective Matthew Scudder and some passing effort at personal character development. The plot resolution is genuinely stupid, but Block otherwise pens a descriptive, well-plotted and well-paced story that focusses on the investigation and grips the reader/listener nicely.

Unfortunately, the production standards are BRUTAL. I listen to a LOT of Audiobooks (check out my Listener Page) and I have never *had to* use earphones before - but the recording volume of this audiobook is ridiculously quiet (I actually couldn't make out dialogue using my device's speakers). Alan Sklar's narration is quite credible - decent diction, cadence, timbre, tone, and voice-acting.. but I couldn't hear the performance unless wearing headphones at maximum (theoretically dangerous) volume.

'Sins Of The Fathers' is likely worth 8 stars out of 10, but the frankly lazy sound editing drops my rating to 3.5/10 stars. If you can get it for free (as I did) and have some decent earbuds, it's worth a listen. If, on the other hand, you plan on listening through car speakers or on your device, at the very least try the sample before you download.. but I think you should save your time & money for a better option (maybe one where the producers respect you).

Good P.I.Mystery. Criminally Bad Quality.

The story. Would have preferred a more plot driven story line, and didn’t really like the content.
