Publisher Description
Brace yourself for a scorching new series from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Karen Rose, where San Diego means sun, surf, sand…and serial killers.
Sam Reeves is a kindhearted psychologist who treats court-ordered clients. After one of his patients—a pathological liar—starts revealing plausible new details from a long-unsolved serial murder case, he’s compelled to report anonymously to the SDPD tip line, though his attempts to respect patient confidentiality land him facedown and cuffed by the aggressive (and cute) Detective McKittrick.
San Diego homicide detective Kit McKittrick loves the water. She lives on a boat, and when she’s not solving crimes with the SDPD, she’s assisting her foster sister with her charter fishing business or playing with her poodle. But there’s nothing that intrigues Kit more than a cold case, so when an anonymous caller leads her on the path of a wanted killer, she’s determined to end the decade-long manhunt.
Sam is soon released but goes home with both a newfound distaste for the SDPD and a resolve—not unlike Kit’s—to uncover the truth. Kit and Sam repeatedly butt heads in their separate investigations but are forced to work together to find one of the deadliest serial killers the city has faced in years.

Horrific Narrator
I am only an hour or so into the book and the narrator’s portrayal of the male protagonist is horrendous. He literally sounds like he is pathologically insecure and cry-whining/baby talking with every word he speaks. She seems to be capable of doing normal sounding character voices but she elected to turn the hero into a complete annoying nonstop cry-whiner. The closest version of this type of annoying speech pattern I can recall is Willow from Buffy the Vampire Slayer in the later seasons. Incredibly awful. I have also heard this speech pattern in other audiobooks when the narrator was doing the voice of a traumatized upset child speaking to grownups. I assume there is a director for these audiobooks and the fault also lies with that person for not doing a better job with developing the character’s voice.
Horrific. I am going to try to power through as the story itself seems promising. Not sure how long I will last though.
