Publisher's Summary

Sometimes, the legends are true.

When eccentric billionaire Ellis Holloway hires renegade marine biologist Sam Aston to investigate the legend of a monster in a remote Finnish lake, Aston envisions an easy paycheck and a chance to clear his gambling debts. But he gets much more. There is something terrible living beneath the dark waters of Lake Kaarme and it is hungry.

As the death toll mounts, Aston faces superstitious locals, a power-hungry police chief, and a benefactor's descent into madness as he races to find the legendary beast of the lake.

Monster Mash!

This was a fun book, it was compelling and I wanted to find out what happened.

However it was let down by an unconvincing narrator.
There should have been many accents in this book.. but everyone just sounded American.

The main guy Sam is meant to be Australian and it’s set in Finland where there are several local characters. Through the entire book Finnish characters speak with American accents, and it really took me out of the story.

Also the ‘Aussie’ accent was not the worst I’ve heard, but it really wasn’t very good, and Sam seemed to switch between American and Australian quite often.

There were quite a few words that were completely wrong eg “Queenslend” instead of “Queens-land”, or just general mispronounciations that are not how we say words.

I feel this would’ve been so much better if they’d have gotten a narrator who could do Scandinavian and a better Australian accent.

not too bad

was an enjoyable listen...i usually enjoy Jeffrey Kafer but think he was the wrong choice of narrator for this book. a few story twists and it climaxes fairly quickly but on the whole it was good.
