Does no one do sound checks?

Revisado: 08-25-21

The narrator ruined this story, as I was constantly having to adjust the sound to the whispery voice of Pendergast to Constance shrilling. Even Daisy in the story was so much louder than Frank. It very much detracted from the story of always having to adjust the sound up and down. Constance sounded like a strident Katherine Hepburn. I would recommended if you want this book do not get audio version of it. Where is Scott Bricks narration when you need him?

X to the rescue

Revisado: 02-05-21

I loved another book about Orphan X and Scott Brick is the best narrator, but I don't like books that keep you hanging. First left hanging when your Evan was picked up by the mystery man and told to take a gun into a store....the cops show up....but then what? And the ending leaves you hanging....I can figure out X used some of his equipment to escape off the balcony but don't like to do that, like a neat ending. Other than that I enjoyed the book

Disappointed

Revisado: 02-14-20

What happened to the Pendergast we all knew...he has been turned into a regular detective. Miss Di Agosta and he and Pendergast escapades. Also please use Scott Brick as narrator, this one was ok..but was not the "dulcet" "honeyed" tones of Pendergast

This is the 2nd book have gotten lately on Bosch, to find out he is a secondary character. If I wanted a book about Ballard, then would ask for one. Also Connelly is really aging Harry, and he might die....ugh. I want a story about Bosch, not his friend Ballard. I am saddened I was fooled enough to buy this 2nd book where he is secondary, will not do so in future.

Not Mitch Rapp, but still a great listen

Revisado: 07-21-19

Was so very refreshing to listen to a book, where the author has a good command of the English language that he doesnt need to resort to cursing. A good listen, keep em coming

Good but not up to Pendergast standards

Revisado: 01-02-19

As usual Lincoln and Child did a good book...that being said, am disappointed, as this is not the Pendergast we know....not in this book and not in last one that was done either. Good police detective story but missing Pendergast unusual shenanigans, and have just made him into an ordinary FBI agent with superior intellectual skills. In this book and the last one... the old Pendergast seems gone
Was disappointed by Smithback...thought he was being resurrected, or had maybe just been in hiding in witness protection.
Saving grace in this one....we did not hear much from the lackluster, no personality Constance Greene. Also gone is Digasta.
Miss his personality and would love to see more of Cory Swanson with her fiery personality, along with...never fail to get your attention Diogenis..

rip off

This book came out as new, when had previously been done in 2008....same name. I thought it was familiar...and yes it was.

Great narrator as to how can do different voices

Revisado: 04-08-18

Is there anything you would change about this book?

Yes some of characters every other word out of their mouth was cursing. Good stories do not need to rely on such filthy language to make a point.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Hawke?

Remembering his parents murder and men who committed it

What does John Shea bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

His ability to do different voices, and accents

Could you see Hawke being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

no

Not up to par

Revisado: 01-24-18

Is there anything you would change about this book?

This is not something that strikes me as something Pendergast would do. Gone is his fiery wit, and his assuming command of things in his own lovable Pendergast ways. He seems like an ordinary detective in this one...a subdued one at that. I would change it to the way e used to be

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

The least interesting is Pendergast acts like any ordinary detective, I was truly disappointed in this book.

What does Rene Auberjonois bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Rene is an outstanding narrator and only he and Scott Brick are able to do Pendergast in a pleasing southern accent

Do you think City of Endless Night needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

NO. I was so glad Constance was not in this one as her character lacks any pizazz, even when she was running around chasing down Diogeness, she seemed so lackluster and at times snobby..but then got to end of book...and there she is again...

Any additional comments?

Cory Swanson needs to be in another book..I love her personality, and her pushiness

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

I always enjoy Mitch Rapp books, but this one didnt seem up to same standards as other ones

What aspect of Scott Brick’s performance would you have changed?

I like Scott Bricks narration, but they should of kept George Guidall as narrator as he is the voice of Mitch Rapp

Do you think Enemy of the State needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

I always want more Mitch Rapp books
