The book/story is fine.
The narration is abysmal. Just abysmal. The narrative keeps describing the male MC's voice as a deep baritone, but Kurt Sanchez Kanazawa voice is quite high and quite young: as if a 16 year old is reading this part. His voices for women and for children are painful to the point of distraction. Juliet Ann Maura presents almost the opposite problem: her voice for the female MC is "old" sounding--like a 65 year old trying to use teen slang (it is awkward). Her voice for the Male MC is actually quite good.
I was so distracted by the misfit and the limited range of voices I concentrated much more on the sound than on the actual story.
Am going to recommend actually READING the book and skipping the audio.
