  • Summary

  • Matthew Hanson is a forensic phonetician and the best audio profiler in America. He is able to create a psychological and visual profile of people using only tones, noises, dialects and voice colours. Thanks to him, some of the most dangerous criminals are in jail. Blackmailers, hostage-takers, assassins, the critical evidence that brought them to justice - short audio recordings. Hanson is fascinating, charismatic, difficult to see through. And: he is in solitary confinement.

    A year ago he brutally murdered a homeless woman. The burden of proof was overwhelming. Hanson himself confessed to the crime and led the police to the corpse. And yet there are questions. Why would one of the brightest police advisers commit such a poorly planned murder? Why does Hanson refuse any defence? And why does he refuse all interviews - even one with the young true crime blogger Julia Abbot, who comes across inconsistencies during her research that could prove his innocence?

    Driven by a traumatic incident in her past, Julia is not deterred by Hanson's insistence on his guilt. She decides to conduct her own investigation, which leads her to answers and dangers she never expected.

Can't wait for the English version of Auris 2 & 3!

Once I started listening to it, I just couldn't let it stop! There might be some details in the story that aren't too "reasonable", the story is still full of excitement with its twists and turns.
I have to admit somehow I have guessed the culprit behind everything, yet the truth is no less stunning than it is.
I couldn't help searching for its sequel right after the last episode ended, pity only the German version was available. I hope the English version could be produced soon enough! I just can't wait to listen to it!

Good story but some poor acting

Overall I enjoyed the story but the male lead was so wooden at times that it was painful.

PowerPoint Noir

This is so bad it almost feels like a pastiche. Unfortunately, it's not even good enough at being bad to be that.

The narrator gives it big licks in a noir style, but the words don't match. The writing is clunky, overly formal, has no actual voice. As the title says, it feels like someone is delivering a PowerPoint presentation in a Dick Tracey accent.

The acting is bad. Really bad. They are sometimes surprised by the sentences they are reading, half way through. Maybe that's the moment in dawns on them how bad this is.

I listened to episode 1 and only carried on to the end of it so I could write this review. Thanks, but no thanks.

Also, this isn't free. It's paid for by our subscriptions. It's preferable to the badly delivered self help that's been served up lately, right enough.

It's hard to believe you are the guys who brought us West Cork, the Zeta Family and Karupt FM. Oh, remember those heady days.

Good fun

In the style of Baldacci or Deaver's Lincoln Rhyme. Maximum plot twists, high drama after the plot exposition is set up. Good narrator - I quite like the soundscapes, even if it feels like it's trying to drive emotions a bit too blatantly - I still prefer good prose. Very professionally produced. Don't count the amount of 'then suddenly' used!

Just Awful

Ridiculous plot, if you can call it that. Gratuitously unpleasant. Stopped listening well before end.

Dire

I listen to a lot of radio drama and have done so for the best part of 50 years. When done well it is a delight. The acting in this is dire. Now, it might be that it was recorded under the exceptional circumstances of lockdown during the COVID pandemic. If that is the case then I would be less critical. But if it was recorded under such conditions then the description should make that clear so that I can take that into account.

The premise of the story is interesting. The acting is, I am sorry to say, so poor that the storyline just cannot survive and I lost interest very quickly.

I stopped after episode 5.

it's just okay. I tried to keep listening, but it wasn't worth finishing. There are way too many great audiodramas, books and podcasts out there to listen to one that's meh.

It’s okay

The story concept and arc are cool but some plot holes and performance of antagonist is a bit rigid. Feels like he was directed to correct his pronunciation to the point of sounding forced and fake. The story has a few holes. I don’t want to ruin anything, but I occasionally found myself asking, “why wasn’t this point an issue?” or “why did the courts miss this?”

That said, I listened all they way through to episode 7.

Unbearable

I couldn’t go past the beginning of the fourth episode. I can’t even say it’s a slow burn, it’s just a burn. The narration is engaging, but generally the voice acting for the rest of the cast is stilted. The background build didn’t offer enough to keep me invested in the what next, it’s a kind of whodunnit that takes way to long to reveal a clear sense of what was actually done and even longer to the who.

Suspense, twists and unexpected turns

This was excellent and I listened to the entire series over this weekend! The sound quality drew me into the story, and it was like watching a movie. The characters voices and narration were excellent, and the story unfolded to reveal all in good time. I didn't predict the ending accurately, and I would like to know what happens next. Will there be a next season? I hope so!

3.25 stars is more honest

I almost quit this half way through the first episode because the acting was just horrific. Something made me keep listening though and it wasn’t bad. Story was good. Ending was shyt. Acting was god awful. Other than Julia. She seemed normal. All in all I would say I’m ok with saying listen to it if you can get past the corny voice acting
