Publisher's Summary
From #1 New York Times Bestselling, Hugo Award-winning author, Brandon Sanderson, and co-author Dan Wells, comes DARK ONE: FORGOTTEN, a true-crime fantasy audio series and the first entry in Brandon Sanderson’s new DARK ONE fantasy saga.
Every year in the United States there are fifteen thousand murders, give or take a few hundred. Of those, nearly forty percent go unsolved.
In this six-part audio series, Christina Walsh is determined to change that. After struggling with the loss of her father, she sets out on a journey to bring the justice that has eluded her to the families of other victims. And she starts with a particularly strange case. The murder of world-renowned violinist Leona McPherson who mysteriously disappeared years ago after a concert at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. As Christina digs deeper, the story gets stranger. Leona was a prodigy, someone too good to be forgotten, but that’s exactly what has happened. She’s been forgotten. Entirely. By everyone who knew her. From the gushing music critic in her hometown to the detectives investigating her murder, even her own mother.
So Christina embarks on a cross-country mission, with her roommate Sophie, to figure out what happened to Leona. In the process, she uncovers a trail of similar victims who have suffered the same fate. But if no one can remember the victims, how can the killer possibly be caught? Christina’s only leads come from a crazed homeless man’s ramblings, a mysterious glass eye, and an otherworldly totem. Is Christina crazy or has she stumbled upon something so implausible it must be true?

Interesting Story
I enjoyed the plot and the introduction of supernatural elements was well written. However, I found the narration quite annoying at times. Sophie especially. The character is really pushy and it was a bit frustrating and unnecessary to the story at times. I think she was meant to be funny but it came off as more annoying than anything else. I do recommend it if you enjoy true crime, and it was a different take on a regular audio book.

5 stars - very cool
An excellent idea which is well executed. The first half of the story is a bit slower, but the second half was just awesome.

Amazing listen!
It was a really nice, well thought out story! The ending was a bit rushed, but still delivered. I'm definitely looking forward to the next installments. Highly recommend!

Umm...
The start was interesting and I liked how the story started to develop but then it just stagnated till the final hour. The ending felt a but fast and dirty.
Multiple narrators was done extremely well. Although the character Sophie was a bit annoyingly sceechy at times.
Maybe I am being harsh as Brandon Sanderson and I expected it to be something special. It wasn't a complete fail though...

There are issues
First up, I suspect that Dan Wells did the writing and Brandon just wrote a rough outline.
The main character, Christine, is a little loud, whiny, and often uses a tone like a teenager pleading for a new iphone. It's not a great match for an adult trying to produce a professional-sounding podcast.
Her "best friend" is a girl called Sophie. Sophie is verbally abusive to everyone around her, without cause. She constantly sabotages her friend's podcast recordings. She is a truly horrible person to be around, and it's unbelievable that the main character would continue to put up with her. I think we are supposed to find her funny. She is not funny. She's even louder and whinier than Christine. When they're both getting hysterical at the same time it is painful to listen to.
The story is in the style of a true crime podcast - a fictional podcast of very poor quality, The characters constantly record in coffee shops and get interrupted by other patrons asking them to stop yelling. Christine never edits out any interruptions, sabotage by Sophie, or much of anything. She does bleep out Sophie's constant swearing. In a middle episode she mentions that she'll have to learn to bleep out language, which is weird because she'd been doing that for a couple of episodes already.
The actual editing of this audiobook has some issues too - there are a few places where ends of words are trimmed to silence too soon, not major, but I find it annoying.
The quality of voice acting is generally very good, some supporting characters are exceptional.
The story didn't have a similar tone or feeling to the Dark One comic, at all. Crossover elements didn't seem to match up particularly well. There is a solid ending at least, but it's definitely not a Sanderson ending.
Overall this was more frustrating to listen to than satisfying, mainly because Sophie was so incredibly annoying.
