May 20, 2019: Homicide detective Mallory is in Edinburgh to be with her dying grandmother. While out on a jog one evening, Mallory hears a woman in distress. She’s drawn to an alley, where she is attacked and loses consciousness. May 20, 1869: Housemaid Catriona Thomson had been enjoying a half-day off, only to be discovered that night in a lane, where she’d been strangled and left for dead...exactly one-hundred-and-fifty years before Mallory was strangled in the same spot.

Publisher's Summary
Regulars at Nadia’s nature lodge don’t ask what she does in the off-season. And that’s a good thing. If she told them, she’d have to kill them. She’s a hit woman for a Mafia family. Tough and self-sufficient, Nadia doesn’t owe anyone any explanations. But that doesn’t mean she always works alone. One of her contacts has recruited her in the hunt for a ruthlessly efficient serial killer cutting a swath of terror across the country. The assassin is far too skilled to be an amateur - and the precision of the killings is bringing the Feds much too close to the hit man community for comfort. To put an end to the murders, Nadia will have to turn herself from predator to prey as she employs every trick she knows to find the killer. Before the killer finds her….

some strong elements, but....
In the beginning I was thinking I'd found a great new author for my collection. A strong main character and a good plot line in the first few chapters soon devolved into an overly detailed mess. The constant back and forth inside the mind of the female protagonist soon became tiring. As did the moody non-communicative 'mentor' Jack. The protagonists patience with and submission to this character became tiresome as well. If three or four hours had been eliminated from this selection this might have been an excellent listen. As it was, it became a tiresome slog through the underbelly of criminal society. Ms. Armstrong is a talented writer and the book was well narrated. Hopefully her next mystery book will avoid the short comings of Exit Strategy.

Loved it!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Absolutely. It kept me bitting my nails start to finish. I like the characters and the focus on human emotions and non-verbal communication.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Jack I suppose. He's enigmatic and with his silences and grunts leaves a lot to be interpreted.
Which scene was your favorite?
When Jack and Nadia go back to Evelyn's house and they are all pointing guns at each other.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yep.
Any additional comments?
I want to get the rest of the series!!!

Nice plot twists but a bit muddy in spots. Jennifer Ikeda is a FABULOUS Reader! Her character interpretations are so 3-dimensional and really improve the whole experience! I will try a book just because she's the Narrator.

Breathtaking!
Would you consider the audio edition of Exit Strategy to be better than the print version?
Jennifer Ikeda does such an outstanding job on this that I can't imagine it without her voice. She does everyone so well, including the male characters, that I'm searching for more of her work.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Exit Strategy?
When Jack makes Nadia hot chocolate.
What does Jennifer Ikeda and Richard Ferrone bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
She's the perfect voice for Nadia, helping you get into the complicated heart and soul and mind of a contract killer, plus her Irish brogue for Jack is downright sexy.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The scene when Jack's leaning over her and she begins to realize she's attracted to him. Plus the scene in the closet.
Any additional comments?
This is violent, fascinating, angst, funny, and the romance is so subtle it's deliciously addictive. Jennifer Ikeda does a great job of bringing out out a wonderful story, and Richard Ferrone's villain and victim POV are excellent as well.

Bad editing
The very very long pauses throughout every part of the story were distracting and annoying. I kept thinking my phone died. It was in the middle of the sentence sometimes. I have listened to many other books narrated by this same person and they have been great. Not sure what happened here.

I thought the story was GREAT! I even enjoyed the swap between readers. What I did NOT like was the micro pauses that happened through out the reading. I feel it was an editing issue. And really ruined the flow of the book.

Slow for a thriller
Although the writing was quite good and intelligent, the story was not very original and dragged on. A serial killer is terrorizing the country, committing murders from state to state, getting more daring as he goes. Slowly, an unusual team is formed to put the guy away, but with the addition of some characters, the story line gets cumbersome and jerky.
The two narrators worked well, but the killer's persona (read by the male narrator) does not intrigue or create much emotion in this reader. And although J. Ikeda is a master storyteller, I thought a little more urgency and emotion in her reading - the main character's POV (Nadia)- may have raised the story a notch/star developing greater excitement level or "thrill."
Regarding the interaction between characters, what might be seen as a potential love interest and possibly a triangle was boring and not well developed.
Jack is interesting and getting to know him better is enticing. Nadia, however does not present well for a hit man, and so the story falls flat.
Would I read another by this author? It's doubtful I'll pursue another in this series. The ONE reson I may, is to see if Ms. Ikeda's reading pulls me into the story number two.

Female narrator not for me
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
I have read the book, years back, and liked it. Instead of re-reading, I bought the audible to listen to in the car.
What did you like best about this story?
I like Kelley Armstrongs writing, it is solid, and she is a master at suspense.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Jennifer Ikeda and Richard Ferrone ?
Kristine Hvam is one of my favourites
Any additional comments?
Reminder to myself: always listen to the complete audible sample: the narrator can really ruin a very good book, if she/he is not your cup of tea.
