The Criminalist
A Novel of Forensic Science Suspense

by John Houde

Narrated by: Kathleen Gati

Drugs, Murder and Fantasy!

A forensic scientist, Paul Connert, contemplates crossing the line, he even goes so far as to play out his plan but then almost gets fingered for a murder. Vika is looking for her heroin-addicted sister and meets Paul (aka forensic scientist), together they try to find her sister. Mix in sex trafficker, a crooked cop and a slew of other investigators and you have a fairly intense suspense crime story.

John Houde, the author, does a solid job of building characters and methodically setting the stage for the storyline. A few twists keep the suspense going and the dialog is convincing and credible.

The narrator, Kathleen Gati gives an attentive performance providing each character with a voice that enhances them. Her cadence and pronunciation of the Russian words were spot-on. I found her voice to be soothing yet strong. If you enjoy crime drama & suspense, this is a good one to hear!
