    A New Life
    Sarah Garland is a retired homicide detective from Los Angeles, California, who found her peace in the cozy town of Snow Falls, Alaska. After a painful divorce, she now owns a successful coffee shop in the quaint town and is ready to pursue her new career as a mystery writer. But the peace of her own private winter escape is soon interrupted.
    A Frightening Discovery
    One cold winter morning, Sarah finds a grotesque snowman in front of her new home, despite being miles away from town on two acres of private land. Although Sarah first suspects the new Detective Conrad Spencer is the culprit of the snow tricks, she quickly realizes that a deadly criminal has been inspired by her new novel and takes pleasure in taunting her.
    A Formidable Force
    After confiding in her new best friend Amanda, Sarah is determined to get to the bottom of this mystery. Learning that Detective Conrad is more of a friend than a foe, the group must work together to find the real criminal.

    I know most AI narrators aren't the best, but this one isn't too bad and I'm grateful that I'm able to listen for free. Thank you 😉

    I actually like this narrator. I've had to turn off many-a-good stories because of some reader trying to read too dramaticly. I just wanted someone to read the dang book without sounding like an amateur actor. Just can't please everyone. But some like this better. Thanks!

    AI really takes all of the excitement and emotion out of the story. I hate it when AI reads things like dots, hyphens, etc.

      Reader’s phrasing is odd . This makes the book hard to listen to. I want to be taken in by the story . Not robot reading and not syrupy drama. I don’t know how this works,but do the authors approve the narration ? I would not want my books read this way

      Would have liked to finish this but you have way too many Ad breaks -6 in the first 30 minutes-and the AI reader is annoying. One of AI’s problems is when it comes across a word like ‘tear’ which has three meanings and two pronunciations. it doesn’t know which to use. In this book, when the story said she had a tear on her cheek (as in-she was crying) AI chose the wrong meaning and pronounced the word as if she had a rip in her cheek. Too many commercials. We know this is a business but don’t try to make all your money on the first book.

    The publishing company DESPERATELY NEED to get another person to read this book. This narrator is flat and atonal making it impossible to listen to the full book.
    Probably quite a good story but I’ll never know because I can’t sit thru the monotonal reading.

    Book titled as book 1 and book 2 both starts out saying it's book 2. Which one is real book 2 and which one is real book 1. I'm guessing this is really book 1.

      Not really. Authors can have different version of audiobooks and since the author is giving this away for free, it’s hard to justify investing thousands of dollars in an audiobook, when the return on investment is not there. Instead, many authors offer an AI version for free, or at an inexpensive price. Later on, when the book makes more money, the author will have a professional narrator create another version, which will be the premium audio experience.
