My aunt gave this to me to add to an audio bookbox.

I am releasing this in Booklady331's Audio bookbox. Released as part of the TICKTOCK challenge.

Will give this one a go! Removing from the bookbox.....

Alex, a photojournalist, unintentionally witnesses a crime following a fatal disaster at a dam. After a subsequent attempt on her life, she's put under unofficial protection, but she's not content to play the passive female and assists in uncovering a conspiracy. From there it's a race to see if she can uncover all of the players before they get to her.

That sounds pretty typical of your modern day conspiracy thriller, doesn't it? Yes, well, that was my overall impression as well. For the most part I thought this was a pretty predictable and cliche'd story. Lots of overly dramatic dialogue and repetitive use of certain phrases such as "My God!" and "For God's sake!". I don't mind a few of those if appropriate, but way too many in this book to sound natural. Add a wannabe kick-ass female lead character who tries too hard to sound tough, and it's all a bit too much. Had this not been an abridged version on audio, it might've been a little bit better. But then again, maybe not, and perhaps abridged was the way to go to finish it more quickly. I thought I'd read Iris Johansen before, but apparently this was my first one, based on my review history. Based on this one, I'm not overly impressed.

Sending off to PBS member. Enjoy! :')
