The Inner Circle: Booktrack Edition

By: Brad Meltzer

Narrated by: Scott Brick

The Inner Circle: Booktrack Edition adds an immersive musical soundtrack to your audiobook listening experience! *There are stories no one knows. Hidden stories. I love those stories. And since I work in the National Archives, I find those stories for a living.

Beecher White, a young archivist, spends his days working with the most important documents of the U.S. government. He has always been the keeper of other people's stories, never a part of the story himself...

Until now.

When Clementine Kaye, Beecher's first childhood crush, shows up at the National Archives asking for his help tracking down her long-lost father, Beecher tries to impress her by showing her the secret vault where the President of the United States privately reviews classified documents. After they accidentally happen upon a priceless artifact - a 200 hundred-year-old dictionary that once belonged to George Washington, hidden underneath a desk chair, Beecher and Clementine find themselves suddenly entangled in a web of deception, conspiracy, and murder.

Soon a man is dead, and Beecher is on the run as he races to learn the truth behind this mysterious national treasure. His search will lead him to discover a coded and ingenious puzzle that conceals a disturbing secret from the founding of our nation. It is a secret, Beecher soon discovers, that some believe is worth killing for.

Gripping, fast-paced, and filled with the fascinating historical detail for which he is famous, THE INNER CIRCLE is a thrilling novel that showcases a brilliant author writing at the height of his craft.
*Booktrack editions are essentially a new genre of digital storytelling entertainment. Music and ambient audio are added to complement and enhance the audiobook experience. It is a synchronized movie-style soundtrack that complements the narration of existing audiobooks; the tempo and rhythm of the score harmonize with action, dialogue and the characters' emotional arcs.

"Meet the next John Grisham."—MIAMI HERALD

Background sound effects very distracting

One of my favorite authors. Story was good. Narrator was very good. HOWEVER, the sound effects were so distracting. Low bass sounds that would give you a headache. Other sounds that make you check your air conditioner to see if fan motor is going bad or see if the phone is ringing.
I have listened to over 400 books, this is the worst presentation, Had trouble listening to the end.

Performance

Scott Brick is fantastic as always. Couldn’t stand all of the melodramatic music in the background

Story had highs and lows.

The story was good but there was places that dragged! Wish there were a few more answers at the end to tie things up.

Inner Circle

The story pulls you in from the beginning and doesn't let you go until the end. The use of historical facts and places adds to the whole experience.

Good listen but the music...

Overall a very interesting story with some good twists and unexpected turns. The one thing that was annoying was the music in the background. I kept wishing there was a way to turn it off! I will listen to samples of future books from this author and likely pass if it has the music...
