THE EDGE OF WINTER

A Danny Carlisle Mystery

By: C.E. Nelson

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

A frozen lake…Cold-Blooded Murder.

A powerful man is found dead in his fish house on a frozen Minnesota lake, murdered, stabbed to death. His employees, family, and the local sheriff, all seem happy to have him gone - all except his personal assistant. With his death she is now forced to do something she thought she would never have to do, reveal secrets that will destroy the careers and lives of many - including a man set on being the next governor of the state.

Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension Agent Danny Carlisle has been given the assignment, her first as a lead agent, and she and her partner soon find they have too many suspects and too little evidence. But someone is doing them a favor, narrowing down their list of suspects by killing them off. The snow and bodies in Duluth accumulate, and Carlisle's boss is pushing her to find who is doing the killing, someone who seems to know her every move.

Virtual voice

Virtual voice cadence was awful. It was distracting and made the story hard to listen to. I will avoid others with a virtual voice.

Story line is good

The narration is extremely poor. It sounds like a machine. Rather use people with emotions

good good storyline but AI narration leaves a lot to be desired

The storyline is good but the virtual voice narration is not. The lack of inflection and also the lack of recognition of word pronunciation is definitely off-putting.

AI

Couldn’t get past the AI reading. Terrible and couldn’t enjoy the story when it’s a monotone robot

Just say “NO” to Virtual Voice!!!

The storyline was great. But, listening to the Virtual Voice was like fingernails on a chalk board. It totally took away from the story. Often times I had to go back and play the chapter again because it was so distracting. Very disappointed.
