About this listen

Imagine Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, mixed with Atomic Blonde, with a hint of Ferris Bueller = Matti Baker series.

Private contractor Matti Baker’s personal quest is to keep America safe. With unwavering loyalty, she was trained to assist government and outside agencies in identifying, locating, and eliminating individuals and nations that pose as threats to the United States.

Baker navigates through assignments that on the surface appear to have no connection. Ultimately, Baker finds out that they are all intertwined and will trigger global destruction if not stopped. While sacrificing to keep her family hidden and safe, Baker enlists the help of her best friend and closest colleagues to eradicate double agents.

Such an enjoyable listen. I already own the ebook version of Aesop by Michele Packard, but this is certainly a book that lends itself to audio. The narrator Naomi Rose-Mock bursts Matti Baker to life from the first line... Aesop is full of well-crafted characters, gripping action and intriguing plots, with a healthy dollop of Matti's quirky humour and sarcasm. I loved it. I can't wait to listen to book 2...

Fast-paced and thrilling!

Well written and nicely narrated in terms of smoothness of delivery with pauses and emphasis coming across exactly right. However, the story itself was rambling and felt twice as long as it warranted as well as seeming to be disjointed in places, and - this of course will be a question of personal taste - the otherwise excellent narrator had a rough, slightly irritating voice. I also found the not infrequent tuneless inserts of singing, which were posed as the heroine's thoughts triggering har into remembering particular songs, to be excruciatingly distracting. So in summation if you have no better choice available, this book is better than reading the blurb on a cereal box but otherwise I advise you to give it a miss.

No more than "okay".
