Sorrowful Road

By: Alex MacLean

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Halifax Homicide Detective Allan Stanton has been haunted for the last year by one case he couldn’t close: the brutal murder of a pretty twenty-two-year-old in Point Pleasant Park. On the anniversary of her death, the body of another young woman is found. The MO suggests the same person killed them both, but the long gap between murders is unusual for a serial killer. Fellow detective Audra Price joins Stanton in the search for this ruthless predator. But neither is prepared to handle such a unique brand of psychopath. Over a decade of unsolved case files turn up a swath of carnage, cut all across Canada with bone-chilling efficiency. The only way to bring justice to the victims is by following the most horrifying trail of their careers—to a monster who knows he’s being hunted.

Great plot and characters

Great story with excellent descriptions of how homicide detectives work a case. Unlike a previous reviewer wrote, there no graphic depictions of rape, which was a disservice to the author and potential listeners who would be mislead by the reviewer’s false statement. The only negative comment I have about the listening experience is the use of an AI narrator. Descriptions were passable but some of the dialogues were downright laughable…humans don’t talk like that! Please…do the author and listeners a huge favor and get a human narrator! The author has too much talent for anything less .
