After one troubled college-age student disappears and two are found slashed to death, Lucas Davenport finds himself hunting what appears to be a modern-day Jack the Ripper. Unfortunately the clues aren’t adding up—and then there’s the young Goth girl who keeps appearing and disappearing. Where does she come from? Where does she go every night? And why does Lucas keep getting the sneaking suspicion that there is something else going on here? Something very bad, very dark, and as elusive as a phantom… Crime Fiction Police Procedurals Thriller & Suspense Mystery Suspense Fiction Hard-Boiled

Another gritty Davenport plot, complete with Davenports top 100 greatest Rock'n'Roll road trip hits. I wrote them down. Will edit a bit, but my kind of list for the most part.

Nice!!

He, along with Eric Conger, Dick Hill, Scott Brick, Luke Daniels, George Guidall and a few other notables, are my favorite narrators in the house of Audible. And I have, in my library, every one of John Sandford's works. Now, having said that, his rendition of the women in this book, specifically the fairie, was not one of my favorites. Yes, he is a baritone, and you wouldn't expect him to sound like a woman, and he doesn't. However, his voice inflections soften a bit when he's reading Weather or any other female character, as you would expect. (The best male/female narration team comes from Ron McLarty and Orlagh Cassidy reading David Baldacci's King and Maxwell series.....but I digress). His rendition of the fairie, or whatever the character name was so over the top that it made me cringe thoughout the listening experience. Toward the end, I wanted to puch out my eardrums. The whine in the voice was just so unnatural. I've heard plenty of women whine in my lifetime.... sadly, I was the cause for most of them, but I've never heard any woman sound like this. This is the only book I've ever heard him make such a drastic change in the way he narrated a female character. I really hope to not hear that again.

First of all, I love listening to Richard Ferrone.
