Quantum Murder

By: Lesley L. Smith

Narrated by: Meghan Kelly

Can Quantum Mechanics kill?

When someone's murdered, seemingly via her discovery, physicist Madison Martin knows it's her responsibility to bring the killer to justice. Madison resumes her quantum cop role to help the local cops and the F.B.I. investigate everything from quantum panty raids to impossible heists and increasingly bizarre murders. As the q-crimes increase, she worries that reality itself is a goner.

When Madison's nearly obliterated in a quantum duel, she realizes she can't handle it by herself. But this leads to another problem: does her overworked task force include the very criminal she's trying to catch? And if so, can she take him down before it's too late?

Better than the first!

Let me start by saying, I loved the first book and in order to understand the second book, or for that matter, the entire concept of the series, you have to read or listen to the first one. Now, although I really enjoyed the first book, I thought this one was better by far. This book had me laughing from beginning to end and I could not put it down.
The narration for both books seems to be a love it or hate it situation. Meghan Kelly does a great job giving each character a unique voice so that it's easy to follow and there's never a question of which character is speaking. However, the voice she uses for the first person narration of the main character, Madison, leaves A LOT to be desired. While listening to the first book, it really distracted me and left me wondering why she didn't clear her throat or get a drink and come back to the story. Though Ms. Kelly uses the same raspy whisper for the narration of this book, it didn't bother me in the slightest; possibly, her narration style is an acquired taste or, and this is the more likely scenario, this book was just so great that I overlooked the narration flaws and just let the characters tell me their story. Whichever the case, this series, narration and all, is definitely worth the listen! I highly recommend it and will be anxiously awaiting the next case of the Quantum Cop!

Great Series

Any additional comments?

Quantum Murder is Book 2 in the Quantum Cop Series. Before delving into Book 2, I recommend listening to Book 1 first. The concept for the series is both interesting and original - the manipulation of reality through the application of quantum physics. When quantum crimes start up again, it's up to Madison to find the culprit.

Although I really enjoyed Quantum Murder, there were a couple of things that I found irritating. Madison's constant forgetfulness and ditzy behavior belied the fact that she was an intelligent quantum physics professor. Her boyfriend of one year was all lovey dovey one moment and rudely throwing her out of his home the next. The story itself was more complex and imaginative than its predecessor. I thought that it was obvious who the bad guy was - until I discovered that I was wrong! Don't you just love when that happens? The plot twists, combined with the wonderful narration of Meghan Kelly, created a very satisfying listening experience for me. So far, this is a really fun series and I would recommend Quantum Murder.

Great second book

I received this audiobook free for an honest review. I really enjoyed this second book as well as the first. The concept is very interesting. Whether the information provided is actually physics, I have no idea. Not a science person. However, the story line was great. Trying to guess who the bad guys were was difficult. Figuring out what Madison was going to do next was difficult, which made this a great book. Although Meghan Kelly is not my favorite narrator, she did a good job with this book. Maybe it was the story that really interested me and not the delivery. Lesley L. Smith creates a great story that keeps your attention from beginning to the end.

Liked the book. Did not like the narrator.

Any additional comments?

I love all things sci-fi so I was very intrigued by the premise of this book. I had a hard time with the narrator though. I was actually surprised to read so many positive reviews for Meghan Kelly. I am in the definite minority.

The entire time I was listening to this book, I just kept hoping she would clear her throat, change her cadence or do anything to draw me in. I stopped listening. Thank goodness for Kindle.

Review Quantum Murder

This audiobook was given by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review. I once again enjoyed the absent minded, clueless, valley girl, professor who leads us through our crime solving mystery. Thank you Lesley Smith for this fun adventure. Meghan Kelly is outstanding in her performance, lively and entertaining .
