This title uses virtual voice narration

Virtual voice is computer-generated narration for audiobooks.

Hogarth is called to the scene of a suspicious death. A young woman’s body is found in the garden pond behind a project designed to get young lives back on track.

But something went badly wrong the night Natalie Brigforth lost her life… because while the angel of Brookmyre House is gone forever, a killer still roams free.


Natalie Brigforth was loved by all. She did the hard work of fixing broken lives while her rehab bosses took the glory – and an easy ride.

Hogarth and his team learn that Natalie was liked by the residents – but not by all. One wanted her for his lover. Did unrequited lust turn to hate? Or was there another reason for her untimely death?

And what goes on at the empty house next door?


As DI Hogarth looks at motives and digs for evidence, he soon discovers the hidden drives beneath the surface.

And beyond the murder case, Hogarth’s situation turns precarious.

The villains are closing in, and his time is running out.
Against such powerful odds, Hogarth must fight to survive.

In a thrilling conclusion, DI Hogarth will begin to reap what he has sown…

THE DYING BEAT is the second gripping instalment of a page-turning mystery trilogy.

I was constantly distracted from the story by all the errors in language made by virtual voice. The story ended abruptly, mid-plot.

Virtual Voice was Bad

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Random mispronunciations were amateurish and unnecessary. Story was a little contrived but would have been passable without the reader's errors.

Virtual voice is very annoying. Especially "a.m. " pronounced "am"!

The story may have been interesting, though the virtual voice made it less so. The story was confusing in parts with not enough background. I likely wouldn’t listen to another with virtual voice narration.

Virtual voice not worth listening to
