Death Match: A Novel Audiobook

" I've listened to several audio books over the years; however, this version was distracting. Did anyone else find the narration of the story peculiar? At first, I thought it was some form of computer/robotic voice. Later, I wondered if Jack Nicholson was reading it (no). The reader's voice kept me from appreciating the story. "

" For what it is, I suppose this is an okay book. Two couples in different parts of the country appear to have randomly committed suicide. The only link is how they became couples-through a successful, expensive and secretive dating service. A former FBI agent is hired by the dating service to investigate the deaths. Up until the last couple of chapters, I was somewhat entertained. There is nothing taxing about this read. But, I did find myself rolling my eyes at times and I was not at all surprised by the whodunit. Although I enjoy most of this particular author's works, this one didn't live up to my expectations. "

" I had a few problems with this book. First I knew the ending half way through. I kept hoping that there would be a twist at the end and I would be surprised. I wasn't. The second problem was there were too many details. The book just kept going on and on. My final problem was the language. It was a clean book except there was too much swearing. It was too bad because I liked the concept. Eden a couple matching company has two of their "perfect couples" commit suicide. Dr Nash comes in to find out what happened. "

" I'm giving this 3 stars only because for me personally I figured out what was going on and I'm not sure if that would apply to a lot of other readers. I've watched enough X-Files and other techy-based shows over the years to see it coming. But I still couldn't put it down most of the time and I thought the idea of the way the tech was used was very interesting. "

" This is an interesting mystery with a complex story and an ending that you start to see, but is not clear until the end. Several interesting "love" stories weave through the book. Child writes different types of mysteries and doesn't follow a simple formula. "
