Wonderful storytelling, beautiful character development, this is, in my opinion, the best in the series thus far. Now, on to the next.

Mr. Ballerini

Revisado: 03-02-22

Loved the flow of Mr. Patterson's writing. Fantastic story brought to wonderful life by Mr. Ballerini's superb use of tone, inflection, and subtle changes between characters. Bravo!

At a loss

Revisado: 04-03-21

I listened to the first in this series, loved it, then went on a binge, listening to all of them up to this book. The first 18 were read by Tom Taylorson, then I tolerated 2 different readers for the next 5 books. I say tolerated, not to diminish the efforts on their parts, but because the characters were eloquently given voices in the first 18 books by Mr. Taylorson, and I enjoyed them thoroughly. Having them change made it more difficult to listen, but I wanted to keep up on the characters and their inner story, all the while, looking forward to this book, because Mr. Taylorson was returning to the series. Major disappointment however. As brilliant as Mr. Taylorson is in his abilities, I was let down in his decision to change Joe Gunther's voice, straying from his delivery of the main character from the first 18 novels he read. That delivery made this series for me, and the change of Joe's voice has left a big part of what draws me to this series missing. I struggled through books 19-23 because of this fact, and am left struggling again. Nothing against Mr. Mayor and his wonderful writing, but such a change can't be overlooked. James Bond changes actors on screen, but people either love or hate the new face, the character however stays the same. Visually, we have to come to terms with this. With my new found enjoyment of "audible", the voice is the embodiment of the characters, and changing a main character's delivery is like changing an actor's face, love it....or don't. Joe is the same character, written well, and portrayed masterfully, but I liken this delivery change to being similar in scope to him now having a southern accent. I am fairly certain Stallone would not do a Rocky sequel with the main character having a southern accent.
My disappointment now noted, I do recommend this series, and hope others can get past the change in delivery of the main character. (It should be mentioned that all other returning characters delivery did not change)

Gunther?

Revisado: 03-03-21

I've been binging this series, and have loved the writing, the characters, and Mr. Taylorson's masterful voice, but the last 2 books have shifted the feel tremendously. They dont feel like Gunther stories, merely procedural, with familiar characters. Don't get me wrong, this book was great, the story kept me in throughout, but I miss Gunther's presence. I know the style shifted, but I'm hoping Gunther is more involved in the coming books..

The great Tom T.

Revisado: 02-19-21

What a great performance by Mr. Taylorson! The subtle nuances in voice change make listening to this collection a wonderful experience. Mr. Mayor's writing of these characters is masterful and further embellished by Tom's understanding of their voice.
