A Different Dawn by Isabella Maldonado

2.0

I sincerely enjoyed The Cipher but this sophomore novel did not measure up. For one, I thought the story was dumbed down to explain police procedures and there was entirely too much angsty filler. And the plot was so contrived to give Nina a backstory. The novel lacked the gritty plot a serial killer mystery needs. I listened to the audiobook and I must admit that although the narrator performed well enough, I found her annoying. For audiobooks to truly captivate me the narrator must blend seamlessly and not be a distraction. I think I may be finished with the warrior girl.
