Orca by Steven Brust

4.0

So now I'm at the mid-point - Book 7 of the 15 published to this point. This one was another change-up in style from the previous books, alternating first person accounts between 2 characters. For this, the audiobook wisely brought in another narrator to handle the female character's viewpoint. Weirdly, this narrator (Angele Masters) did a fine job in the regular chapters; handling different voices without issue. However, the Interludes were all a conversation between 2 female characters, with minimal to no ... uhhh... "speaking indicators" (I don't know the term - "Tom said... Bill said...") and her voices for these 2 characters were so similar that I had to back-track a few times to make sure I could tell which was which.
The story itself was a crazy-complicated financial house-of-cards whodunnit. Like watching one of those old crime shows the older generation seems to love - full of double-crosses and banking transactions. Probably should've been a little more boring than it was, but I enjoyed it.
