I hadn't realised that this book was abridged when I bought it or I would not have done so. To condense a 15 hour long audiobook down to 2 hours is ridiculous. so much of the story is missing. I shall return the book.

the worst abridement

So abridged that it doesn’t make any sense. The reader seems to rush the parts that have been randomly selected to stay in and it sounds like it doesn’t have any punctuation! He also seems to forget the voices he’s chosen to do for certain characters as they seem to change/ blend into each other. Waste of money and time.

Terrible

I had never bought an abridged book before but as I couldn't find this book in an unabridged version and had read all the others, I bought it because I wanted the full series. But I wish I had just read the full book instead. The words are there because they are needed to tell the story. I found this very difficult to follow and didn't enjoy it at all. I adore the Lincoln Rhyme books but will never buy an abridged one again.

Well read, but the abridgement completely spoils the thread of the story, and interferes with the build up of suspense. The result is choppy and hard to follow. This book is an important one in the series, and could really do with being reread in full.

Great story, but it's abridged, which spoils it.

Accidentally purchased the abridged version and hence I’m extremely disappointed! It would be useful if this was made clear in the purchase details, or indeed reflected in the price.
