The crazy crime solving characters kept me listening!

Revisado: 04-02-24 El oyente recibió este título gratis

As in the first two books in this series, the character development for each of the crime-solving coworkers is easy to follow & full of foibles for everyone. I really love the personality of the main man Luke since he’s a great detective, boss, son & friend to everyone. I’m amazed at how invested I’ve become with the complexity of Luke as the man in the crew who adds his special flair to each mystery.

The crazy sleazy criminal behavior for the celebrity/entertainers & their staff definitely brought out my rage & disgust with the abusive subject matter. As in the other books in this series, there’s no shortage of whodunnit moments in this story line.

Each book in the series gives greater insight to these great characters. I truly like spending time with these men & women. The plot varies just enough in each book to keep me excited with the action & entertained from beginning to end. I’m looking forward to more fabulous future endeavors for Luke & his wonderful Ethics team. You really shouldn’t miss any of these books if this type of criminal mystery interests you.

Hooked on Luke Sackville

Revisado: 03-18-24 El oyente recibió este título gratis

I really enjoyed the cast of characters and their growing camaraderie in this 2nd Luke Sackville book. Each individual’s job position & personality bring life to the novel. The great narration helped me truly relate to each unique character.

This plot involves a mult-layered set of crimes to solve. Although the civilian company is the initial focus of the mystery, many different angles surface throughout. This makes the intrigue escalate and kept me hooked right up to the end. Luke leads his team through it all with skill but isn’t shown as perfect - resulting in him becoming one of my favorite sleuths. He’s a combination of ex-detective, cool boss & conflicted family man.

If you like the jargon of a UK crime novel/mystery and colorful characters this one is for you. I’m hooked & ready for future adventures in this series. Thanks so much S. J. Richards & Aubrey Parsons for another fantastic work of fiction.

Great mystery with wonderful narration

Revisado: 03-10-24 El oyente recibió este título gratis

The main character in this novel was quite likable. It was interesting that he struggled with a change of career & authority level that differed from his previous duties prior to retiring. I really enjoyed the twists & turns that solved the multiple mysteries. It was fun trying to determine the villains versus semi-decent characters involved.

There was of plenty of description involving the characters and environment. None of this left you overwhelmed nor confused. Just the balance I love in any novel. If you’re not used to UK or European slang & jargon you may have to work around those phrases but it’s well worth the effort.

Another aspect I was thrilled with was a decent conclusion to the book. Most of the plot threads were covered and brought to reasonable conclusions. I consider this a plus since other stories can be anticlimactic or tend to have abrupt endings which leave me frustrated.

I’m definitely looking forward to listening to other books in this Luke Sackville series. The narration was colorful with lots of unique voices for the variety of characters.

Even though this was an ARC copy on audio, I would have paid a decent price for it. I recommend it for anyone who enjoys police procedurals, crime capers or a good old British mystery.

Loved the youth centered Plot

Revisado: 01-24-24

Every Eve Dallas story is detail oriented & full of intrigue. The varied cast of characters is what makes this book & every other in this series a joy to read/listen to. The narrator is one of my favorites on Audible. This plot was unique since it revolves around the younger generation with both victims & the villain. It was a nice change of pace. I would definitely recommend it to all JD Robb fans & anyone in the mood for murder & a mystery done well.

This is a cute addition to an enjoyable cozy small town mystery series. Love the cop & girlfriend P.I. collaboration to solve the murder. Clever character narration makes the audiobook more entertaining. Wish it had been a little bit longer to add more antics.

Action Adventure & Intrigue

Revisado: 03-22-23

I am really enjoying this series. Having a strong willed & physically capable heroine is a definite plus. If you like law enforcement, spies, exciting international locations & plenty of action - this is for you. The pursuit of a nemesis & complicated personal relationships in these books add the extra incentive to keep reading until the end. I applaud the excellent narrator for her varied depiction of each character. Loved all the accents too.
