About this audiobook
A stifling heat wave rolls into New York City, amplifying the already critical level of tension in the fragile concrete ecosystem. The air tastes of electricity—the negative charge of bad things to come—but everyone hopes it’s just the temperature. Then, on the morning homicide detective Alexandra “Hemi” Hemingway finds out she is pregnant, a twisted serial killer makes his debut. And the heat goes up.
Not for the faint of heart—American Woman is a relentless ride that takes you through the fractured world of a nascent killer. And you will never feel safe again.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I really enjoy Pobi's writing. Each novel, while carrying over some similar themes or tropes, definitely feels completely different.
About the only thing that grates on me is Pobi's constant comparison of a character's brain as a computer or CPU. Once in a while, okay. But come on, now. All three books? A touch too much.
It also irritates me that I keep thinking Pobi has five novels. Then I find out that Bloodman is also Eye of the Storm. And this one is also known as River of the Dead (which, by the way, is the much better title for this novel).
Anyway, aside from all that, excellent novel. Excellent, well-drawn characters, and an amazing story. Each time you think Pobi's given you the direction for the novel, he quickly turns the table on you. It's always fun when an author can keep you guessing.
Pobi is quickly becoming one of my favourite authors and I'm really looking forward to what he comes up with next.
