Police Sergeant Lou Boldt heads a special task force within Seattle’s Homicide bureau. His job: find and stop the Cross Killer, a twisted, perverse serial murderer who has eluded police for six months and paralyzed the city. But when a body washes up on the shore of Puget Sound, Boldt thinks the killer has finally made a mistake.

This body shows some of the work of the Cross Killer - but a job badly botched. Did this woman die while trying to escape? Did she knowingly jump in the water to preserve a clue? And is she now desperately trying to tell Boldt something? With the help of the alluring Daphne Matthews, a police psychologist, Boldt pieces together the complex puzzle - and the listener is taken along on a journey into the mind of a killer, and into the day-by-day nuts and bolts of police work, that is among the best in modern crime fiction. Undercurrents is a roller-coaster ride in the dark that will intrigue, startle, and satisfy.

Listened to last half almost straight through. Loved the Bolt/Daphne team. The performer did a great job with the various characters.

Couldn't Put It Down

The story was good and kept me engaged. However, the narration could have been better. Didn’t care for the narrator’s different voices for different characters.

Great story - could use a different narrator.

This book's filled with cliches. Cop protagonist who's taken his share of life blows, fellow officers who are more interested in office politics than police work, etc. The only non-cliche is Boldt not being a drinker (or a smoker). The writing style's groan-inducing at times. Plus, the narrator reads almost every male's dialogue as though that person's effeminate. No where do I get the sense the author intended that to be so. Having said all this, the lead character grew on me and even though the mystery stretched credulity, I had to find out what it was as soon as I could.

Greater than the sum of its parts.

I enjoyed the story and characters. Lou is a complex and interesting person. I did not care for the audio performance. I was kinda offended at the childish representation of some of the supporting cast.

Great story, plot and characters.

The plot was always moving forward with unanticipated complications. Didn’t like some of the “voices” but that’s a minor drawback. Congrats on a good thriller.

You are still my favorite
