Lawyer Jason Kolarich is hired by "Mr. Smith" to defend a childhood friend who is charged with murdering the man he believes kidnapped and murdered his sister when she was two-years-old.
This was my first introduction to this series, and I hope to listen to more -- despite my dislike of the narrator. I thought his voice was a bit robotic or maybe a step up from monotone, so I just tried to accept that that was Jason. That helped, but it didn't solve the problem. However, I don't have time to literally read this series, so if I want to move forward, I have to listen to them. We'll see how it goes the next time around.
In regard to the plot, it was good. My interest level was up, and I went along with Jason as he tried to sort things out. In general, there were quite a few subplots causing me to lose a little bit of interest at times, but overall I thought it was a good storyline. It was enough to entice me to put the second book on hold.
Narrators make or break books for me. I'm not sure that I would be able to get past his voice!!
ReplyDeleteStaci ~ It was tough, but I didn't want to give up the story.
DeleteYeah, the narrator would probably ruin it for me too.
ReplyDeleteStacybuckeye ~ I received the second from the library, and it is the same narrator. EEK! I think I'll wait a bit before I listen to him again. I'm hoping he changed his tune. :)
