Summary

Special Agent Will Trent has something to hide. Something he doesn’t want Dr Sara Linton – the woman he loves – to find out. He’s gone undercover in Macon, Georgia and put his life at risk. And he knows Sara will never forgive him if she discovers the truth.

But when a young Macon patrolman is shot and left for dead Sara is forced to confront the past and a woman she hoped never to see again. And without even knowing it, she becomes involved in the same case Will is working on. Soon both of their lives are in danger.

Critic reviews

"Tightly plotted with believable characters, this brims with menace." ( Sunday Mirror)
"Slaughter’s 13th novel, Unseen has all the required pieces to keep her on the bestseller lists. Slaughter gets the heady mix of forensic attention to detail & fast-paced action just right" ( Press Association review syndicated to all the regional papers)

Spoiled by the awful naration

Is there anything you would change about this book?

Struggle to concentrate with a southern accented female especially when she putting on a deep male voice. Normally really like to read the books but cant face anymore of this.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Really couldn't say

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Accent is so heavy and awful when she reads male parts.

Was Unseen worth the listening time?

no

Any additional comments?

Has put me off listening to more audio books.

Karin did it again

If you could sum up Unseen in three words, what would they be?

Addictive, hard hitting, passionate!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Unseen?

I won't say I think it will spoil the book....

Which character – as performed by Penelope Rawlins – was your favourite?

Will, I loved his vulnerability....

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes definitely but I had to listen to it on the way to and from work. I was having terrible withdrawal symptoms i so listened to it at home at well just to see what happened next!

Any additional comments?

Loved this installment of the developing relationship between Will and Sarah can't wait for the next book in this series.

Narration terrible

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Loved the story but had to listen through gritted teeth. Male voices so poor. So my advice is read it. Or find another version

Would you be willing to try another one of Penelope Rawlins’s performances?

No

Heads up, change of narrator....

I enjoyed the book but, after enjoying the previous narrator and listening to the others one after another, I was disappointed at the change in narrator.It was a bit like watching all of the Raiders films with Harrison Ford to find the last one had a different lead actor.I did struggle listening to the male characters and it impacted on my enjoyment of the book

Narration was so grating I couldn’t finish

The narrator was terrible with voices and accents. Unfortunately there are lots of side characters in the book; some of them were given low and breathless voices and others high-pitched and silly. Will’s voice made him sound older than he should be. And the southern accents were all over the place.

The story wasn’t told in a straight forward timeline. The shifting in time was some times confusing.

Another excellent Will Trent book

Any additional comments?

I could just read one Karin Slaughter book after another and I love the Will Tret serie. I would recommend to anyone but if your new to Karin Slaughter book I would say start at the beginning you wont be disappointed

True Slaughter

I'm a Karen Slaughter fan, and this did not disappoint me! Held my attention from beginning to end. The narrator was good and I wouldn't think twice about listening to another book read by her. I listen to a lot of audiobooks and this one was one of the best for a long time.
