A Thrilling Journey Through Suspense and Intrigue

5 out of 5 stars

I just finished listening to Cobra Pose by Susan Rogers & John Roosen , narrated by the incredible Rupert Degas, and I must say, it was a thrilling ride from beginning to end! As a fan of the Yoga Mat Mysteries series, with previous favorites like Dead Man’s Pose and Tree Pose, I was eager to dive into this middle installment—and it did not disappoint. Reading them out of order isn’t normal for me, but I will say that this story is the PERFECT connection between the first and the third story.

The storyline in Cobra Pose is absolutely fascinating. It weaves together a web of techno-thrilling intrigue that had me hooked. Elaina Williams, our amateur sleuth and yoga instructor, is thrust into a dangerous plot involving global financial destabilization, and her journey is both gripping and exhilarating. The relationship building between Elaina and Ric adds so much depth to the story; their genuine concern and confusion felt so real and really enhanced the overall experience.

What I loved most about Cobra Pose is how it kept me on my toes. The plot bounces around, keeping the listener delightfully confused and always guessing what’s coming next. I truly enjoyed not knowing where the story was headed, which made the twists and turns all the more exciting. It’s definitely my favorite in the series so far—the world, the people, and the relationships are all top-notch.

And I can’t forget to mention Rupert Degas’s narration. He is absolutely incredible. He nails the characters perfectly and captures the “voice” that Rogers & Roosen envisioned for this story. His dynamic performance brings the suspense and wit of the prose to life, making the audiobook a must-listen.

If you’re looking for an engaging suspense-thriller that entertains and keeps you guessing, Cobra Pose is the perfect choice. Whether you’re a long-time fan of the Yoga Mat Mysteries or new to the series, this audiobook offers a heart-pounding adventure that’s both fun and captivating.

So roll out your yoga mat, settle in, and get ready for a journey that will stretch your imagination and keep you thoroughly entertained!
