Nothing new here. The “surprise “ at the end wasn’t, and there wasn’t a single character you cared anything about, except maybe the dog. The performance was outstandingly average until the reader attempted to inject some “maleness” in her voice for the men. At that point it was an embarrassing caricature.

Although it contains a number of the annoying “smart people making stupid choices “ episodes as well as no credible explanation why the police were never contacted, and while the reader was competent, my enjoyment of the passable novel was completely overcome by the narrators distractingly awful attempts at accents. In an out of dialects that exist nowhere on the planet, the reader struggles to differentiate the characters with a series of vocal affects that could, at one’s most charitable, be described as annoying.

And too much about lusting for her co-workers. A long long boring listen. Don’t bother.

The writing is clever, turns of phrase witty, and character development extensive, but the story is boring and nonsensical. A long depressing slog to nowhere.

I am familiar with Hunter’s work, and have read others in this series, but this is unprecedented. Tying in the history of gangsters in the 30’s, Hunter has introduced Charles Swagger, grandfather of Bob Lee, and woven a brilliantly plausible re-think of the history of that era. His best work so far, and worth every second of your read or listen

it’s just not that interesting a story. Not as a stand-alone, anyway. I don’t care about the characters, and the story is one I’ve heard a thousand times. Even the crises were the same (cave-ins) both times. This is a good writer, uninspired.

Traces of Steven King with intricately woven backstories. I enjoyed the nods to other vampire novels (and even movies) thru the names of main characters. The reader, however, left a good deal to be desired, with an appalling attempt at a Germanic-type accent, many annoying misreads, (i.e. Tommy Dorset’s (sic) band), and an unpleasant sing-song-y style.

Mr. Clegg can WRITE. Unlike a lot of modern authors, he has some real skills, but his story is formulaic and oh-so-predictable. C’mon, Doug. You can do better than this!.

Ark of the Covenant, weather control and global disaster- how could you go wrong? Well, by wasting major characters who had received a great setup, by interjecting useless and nonsensical back story and adding dialogue that is stilted and inane. A good editor could have saved this book. The performance was reasonably good, except for that accents, which were laughable. Either master them or don’t use them. The performance definitely outshines the material.

There is a formula to this sort of book. Everyone knows it. Thousands of painters portray the same still life, but the true artists shine through, like a speck of sunlight on the apple. This book contains many beautiful, thoughtful specks, and although it contains few real surprises, the artful brush strokes of the author make it superb reading...or listening. The voice actor featured in this particular performance is uniquely gifted. She reads each line as though she is relating her memory of the events for the first time. Absolutely gripping.
