Most of the legal aspects of the story were accurate, but some of the trial parts were a bit sensationalized. It was a pretty good murder mystery and there was a lot of legal stuff going on. There are national forces involved and the whole thing gets crazy really quickly. It is a cold case and because of some meddling from a journalist and some help from Penn Gage, the case is about to get re-opened. There is a decades old civil rights murder in this small southern town. But if you could get past the bad female and secondary character voices, you can’t help but get sucked into the story. And the story is a serious one, so it was distracting. He did about 3 or 4 of the voices well, but all of the other voices sounded comically bad. I thought the mystery in the Quiet Game was really compelling, but the audiobook narrator kind of took away from the story. He is a prosecutor turned author, turned detective (kind of). The Quiet Game is the first book in the Penn Gage series. Note: This book may be unsuitable for people under 17 years of age due to its use of sexual content, drug and alcohol use, and/or violence.
