Forest of Shadows

Addictive crime mystery with shocking twist

By: Kate Gable

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

When she finds out that the man convicted of killing her sister may be innocent, FBI agent and forensic psychologist Alexis Forrest goes on the search for the real culprit. Evidence of her sister’s murder was found in a remote cabin, along with traces of dozens more young women. A serial killer has been stalking these woods for decades and he’s still out there.

Alexis had returned to Broken Hill, the snowy New England town where she grew up, to investigate another case. But after finding the serial killer’s cabin with evidence of other victims, she will do anything to track him down.

Meanwhile, a family is torn apart when their son goes missing while they’re on a family vacation nearby. He disappears while sledding right outside of his Airbnb. The sled is found but the boy is gone. With a huge blizzard blowing in, Alexis must fight against nature and man to find the boy before all of the evidence of who took him and what happened to him is buried.

Will Alexis be able to find the boy in time? Can she find out who killed her sister before the serial killer claims another victim?

I hate virtual voice

Story is good. Characters interesting. Narration is horrendous, like listening to a breathy, clueless teen. But I listened anyway. 🤦🏼‍♀️
Unfair to author.

Robotic voice

The robot ruined the story. The speaker was nothing like a real person recording the story.

I liked the characters

Good book to listen to. Can’t wait to listen to the next one. The characters are good and the narrating so not too bad for being AI.

Virtual voice killed the story

I tried to like the story but the virtual voice was offputting. Could not distinguish between the characters and not much emotion.

Good story

All good except virtual voice a bit challenging to not laugh at some inflections and punctuation
