My latest listen was the unabridged version of 3rd Degree by James Patterson, read by Carolyn McCormick...
Overall, I enjoyed the book. Patterson's third installment of the Women's Murder Club series (1st to Die; Second Chance) is at least as good as the previous two books.
The quality of the version I downloaded from Audible.com was excellent.
While I was not disappointed with the story, I was disappointed with both McCormick's performance and the production. McCormick's attempts at accents and character differentiation missed the mark, and the inclusion of sound effects and musical interludes were distracting at best, and outright annoying at worst.
If you have read / enjoyed the first two in the series, you should find this a worthwhile 3rd installment. If you already know you like the series, I would suggest avoiding ALL reviews, as this book in particular has some great twists that are almost sure to be spoiled by just about any review you would encounter.
