Killer in Retroscape

Review Written by W. D. Douglass

Future World with Robots, AI and Humans!

As a representative of AudioBookReviewer.com here is a review on Killer in the Retroscape: A Near-Future Mystery written by Bruce M Perrin. This slow burn futuristic mystery is a must listen for Sci fi and or mystery fans alike. The author painted a realistic future based on real world data collected in 2018 forecasting what technology and life would be like 50 years in the future. Each character in this tale was well flushed out and the fact that the protagonist is a retiree was so unique. This future world where robots and artificial intelligence do all the work for humans forming an unknown dependency was a blast to explore. As soon as you think you have this mystery figured out the ending will turn you on your head.

The narrator Denver C. Risley's performance was middle-of-the-road. His voice acting was consistent throughout but lacked the vigor of a more seasoned narrator. From what I can tell this is his first narration job, at least on audible. He has potential and I can see him improving as his career progresses. 

Editing, quality, and production fell short with most books I have listened to.  It was clear but had issues with the cuts in between chapters and too much dead air.
