Unspeakable

Tracers Series, Book 2

By: Laura Griffin

Narrated by: Talmadge Ragan

Elaina McCord's dream of being an FBI profiler is threatened by her very first case-investigating a string of murders near a Texas beach resort. The victims, all young women, were drugged and brutally murdered, their bodies abandoned in desolate marshland. Elaina's hunch - met with disbelief by local police - is that these are only the latest offerings from a serial killer who has been perfecting his art for years, growing bolder and more cunning with each strike.

True-crime writer Troy Stockton has a reputation as an irresistible playboy who gets his story at any cost. He's the last person Elaina should trust, let alone be attracted to. But right now Troy, along with the elite team of forensics experts known as the Tracers, is her only ally in a case that's turning dangerously personal. A killer is reaching out to Elaina, taunting her, letting her know how ruthless he is and how close he's getting. Now it's not just her career that's in jeopardy - it's her life...

Critic reviews

"[Fans] who've been waiting for an audiobook featuring sexy true-crime writer Troy Stockton, your time has come and you won't be disappointed. This is a tight suspense with the sexiest of heroes and a protagonist seriously worth rooting for." ( RT Book Reviews)

I hate giving bad reviews....

Loved the book, the story, the characters! I just had a problem with the narrator. She has a very unusual pronunciation pattern....? It sounded like she a mouth full of ice. Especially when a word ended and started with the same letter. I HATED giving bad reviews! I just thought it was an interesting choice for a narrator.
Loved the book!

Terrible narratation

I didn’t finish the story so I can’t tell you if it’s good. I think it was going to be but I couldn’t listen to the narrator any longer. It became more and more annoying to hear the over pronouncing or mispronouncing of words. I stopped listening.

Overall good story

Narrator seems to slur her words . I believe she tries so hard to pronounce each word perfectly and entirely , which is not how anyone actually speaks, she sounds like she has mush in her mouth!

Couldn’t listen after the first chapter

Narrator is awful. Sounds like she’s speaking with a wired jaw. Don’t know if the story is good because I can’t get past the narrator.

Glad I love this series

When I finished the first book in this series, I immediately went on to this one. The story is great, the characters are interesting -no wimpy woman waiting for a man to save her- however the narrator is HORRIBLE. The worst I've ever heard and I get through at least 10 audiobooks a month.
Her mild lisp isn't very noticeable, but the way she pronounces words incorrectly over and over is grating. For example, the killer uses ketamine to subdue victims - don't worry it's not a spoiler, just some plot- and the narrator pronounces it "keet-omine" like parakeet... she must have said it a hundred times and it gets more annoying each time. Keet keet keet. Still a great book but if I see this narrator listed again I'll pass.
