Last year I listened to Stay Close by Harlan Cobden and agree with your comments on it which is unusual for me as I usually adore Scott Brick although I wasn't sure weather to blame the author or the narrator  |
I'd mostly blame the author, but the way Brick performs some passages just emphasizes their flaws--it's like Brick's saying, "Listen this is really deep and important and meaningful"--but it simply isn't, and I'd prefer if he'd just save the flourishes for the parts that really are dramatic and exciting.
I'm not especially a fan of Scott Brick. I liked his performance of
In Cold Blood, but not so much for the Harlan Coben or Gregg Hurwitz thrillers I've listened to.
