jenbsbooks 's review for:
The Coldest Case
by James Patterson
Quick listen - included in the AudiblePlus catalog, so a "free" listen with my annual membership. I haven't listened to many AudibleOriginals - productions that are ONLY audio, never written for print. This was a complete dramatization, with a full cast and sound effects, so it was more like listening to a TV crime drama without anything visual.
Set up in eight parts, with a musical intro before each, which I found annoying. I recognized many of the voices ... I thought they all did a good job. Of course I am familiar with Aaron Paul, and I like him and think he's a good actor. There were a few times here though, that it felt like he was "reading" a script rather than really performing, like maybe he hadn't fully prepped and at parts was reading cold.
As for the story, it was okay. Some parts felt over the top, a tad eye-rolling. I think I am a little more accepting of crime/drama in a tv/movie for some reason. Maybe because I imagine more in a book reading, maybe think about things more and then go "um really?" whereas with a screen production I just go with it (usually).
So - it was okay. It was free. It's done ;)
