Historia
Reacher is on a Greyhound bus, minding his own business, with no particular place to go and all the time in the world to get there. Then, he steps off the bus to help an old man who is obviously just a victim waiting to happen. But you know what they say about good deeds. Now, Reacher wants to make it right. An elderly couple have made a few well-meaning mistakes, and now they owe big money to some very bad people. One brazen move leads to another, and suddenly Reacher finds himself a wanted man in the middle of a brutal turf war between rival Ukrainian and Albanian gangs.

For me, Jack Reacher books are all about seeing my favorite elements repeated. This book includes them all. Kudos to the narrator; he sounds like Jack Reacher should sound.

This one is primarily Justin's story. There are quite a few gently romantic story elements. It is very sweet .

Dennis Mira just had two unpleasant surprises. First he learned that his cousin Edward was secretly meeting with a real estate agent about their late grandfather's magnificent West Village brownstone, despite the promise they both made to keep it in the family. Then, when he went to the house to confront Edward about it, he got a blunt object to the back of the head.

Revisado: 10-13-16
This is the best episode of "In Death" that I have read in years. Robb has flushed out many characters who, until now, have been peripheral. We get to hear from and learn more about Peabody and some of the others . There is more of the other characters contributing directly to the police work.

A finger of suspicion has been pointed toward his grandmother, the queen of the Ladysforest elves, and that suspicion has only intensified with time and the Lady’s inexplicable behavior.

Not my favorite, but a satisfying episode
Revisado: 10-02-13
What did you love best about Echoes of Betrayal?
I really enjoyed continuing the stories of the characters from the earlier editions.
What other book might you compare Echoes of Betrayal to and why?
They are like the others in the series, which I do recommend.
What does Jennifer Van Dyck bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
I enjoy hearing the pacing of a narrator, although some of the personal names and place names weren't pronounced the way that I remembered them; it was a little distracting.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
I like the good triumphs over evil moments.
Any additional comments?
No.

- Limits of Power
- Paladin's Legacy, Book 4
- De: Elizabeth Moon
- Narrado por: Angela Dawe
Unlistenable (Is that a word?)
Revisado: 10-02-13
What would have made Limits of Power better?
A different narrator would have made this better. I think probably any narrator, but maybe that's not true?
What other book might you compare Limits of Power to and why?
The only books that I know of that are similar to this one are the others in the series.
Would you be willing to try another one of Angela Dawe’s performances?
There may be genres in which she is competent, but this experience has left me so scarred and traumatized that I don't think I could listen to her again.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
I was offended by this performance. I can't believe that any professionals thought that any of this was appropriate to offer to Elizabeth Moon's fans or potential fans.
Any additional comments?
I am going to request a refund. If it's not too late for you, don't buy this version. Hopefully, our combined outrage will inspire someone to re-record this. Spare yourself!

Historia
Jack Reacher was alone, the way he liked it, soaking up the hot, electric New York City night, watching a man cross the street to a parked Mercedes and drive it away. The car contained one million dollars in ransom money. And Edward Lane, the man who paid it, will pay even more to get his family back. Lane runs a highly illegal soldiers-for-hire operation.

Picks up at the conclusion

How can #10 of a series feel so fresh?
Revisado: 05-01-13
What made the experience of listening to The Hard Way the most enjoyable?
I really like this narrator. Some of his inflections make me feel like he really knows this character.
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
It's no secret that this is, at least in part, a kidnap story. But the question of whether the victims are going to survive was just one layer of the suspense. Reacher is locked in parallel struggles with his employer and with other characters. It is a seamless, multi-layered journey that is almost unbearably suspenseful.
What about Dick Hill’s performance did you like?
I think that he has a clear vision of Reacher and he is very gifted at creating voices for other characters.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes and no. It was great and I wanted to reach the resolution, but I couldn't stand the suspense. There were times when I had to turn it off and hide under my bed.
Any additional comments?
This is the best series that I have found since I discovered Robert Crais's Elvis Cole. Don't let the ill-considered Tom Cruise covers scare you away.

- N is for Noose
- A Kinsey Millhone Mystery
- De: Sue Grafton

Brief and adequate
Revisado: 10-15-12
Would you listen to N is for Noose again? Why?
Full disclosure: I have read this one twice already. I might well read it again once enough time has passed and I have forgotten how mild and uncompelling this one is. It's not terrible.
If you’ve listened to books by Sue Grafton before, how does this one compare?
Definitely the bottom half of the group, but not the very worst.
Which scene was your favorite?
In this one, I would have to say Kinsey's early scenes with Deets.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No.
Any additional comments?
If this is your first try at reading Sue Grafton and you didn't love it, I would encourage you to try something else of her's. She has written many books that I have really loved.
