Review – Cobra Pose: Yoga Mat Mysteries, book 2 by Susan Rogers and John Roosen, performed by Rupert Degas
Cobra Pose is the second book in the riveting Crime Noire Yoga Mat Mysteries series by internationally recognized award-winning authors Susan Rogers and John Roosen. This is a fast-paced, suspenseful, and engaging audiobook with an emotional finale that you won’t be ready for.
This audiobook will take you on a thrilling ride along with Elaina Williams, a yoga teacher who teams up with Ric Peters, a photojournalist that definitely does not shoot only pictures, to find her missing father and stop a global cyber-attack that threatens to destroy the world’s financial systems.
Set in the beautiful and exotic locations of Australia’s ‘golden coastline’ and Brisbane, Queensland, this audiobook will keep you on the edge of your seat, from the beginning to the very dramatic end, as you follow the twists and turns of this timely, scary, and believable plot and the complex relationships of the true to life characters.
This story reflects the massive research and hard work that the authors have put into writing it. They have spent a lot of time studying how data can be manipulated or withheld, how hacking techniques can be applied, and how prevention methods can be used.
Cobra Pose does not only have a great story but also makes for an immersive listening experience thanks to the fantastic narration by Rupert Degas, a renowned voice actor, who has recorded over 400 audiobooks to date. Mr. Degas has a smooth and captivating voice that draws you into this adventure and makes you feel like you are part of it. He also does a remarkable job of creating distinct and realistic voices for each character, using different accents and tones to convey their emotions and multifaceted personalities. I was once again impressed and entertained by his versatility and skill as he switches from one character to another with ease and consistency.
Cobra Pose is a must-listen audiobook for fans of techno-thrillers, crime mysteries, and yes, even yoga! It is a flawlessly written, fantastically performed, and exceptionally produced audiobook that will leave you wanting more. Don’t miss this exciting sequel to the first book in the series, Dead Man’s Pose, and stay tuned for Tree Pose, the third book, which is coming soon!
