The Ice Princess by Camilla Läckberg

2.0

I started listening to the audio version of this book. I got a bit more than halfway through it and had to stop. The narrator is atrocious. Awful. Appallingly bad. He's one of those male narrators who can't figure out a good way to perform a female voice that isn't insulting. He uses a Cockney accent for a working class Swede. He reads with meaningless intonations. I found myself hating the characters and the plot. So I picked up the paper version to see if the book was that bad. It wasn't. It's slow paced. The plot is sort of obvious, but it was an enjoyable read. Not spectacular, but respectable. The main character doesn't have much depth. There are some interesting twists. The author clearly doesn't really know how to plot a mystery and keep suspense without revealing the secrets to the audience. The book is ok, the audio master should be destroyed.
