Washington, embroiled in midterm elections, did not want to hear the truth about an unsettling series of murders. But when the newspapers reported a fourth killing, when they gave the killer a name and details of his horrendous crimes, few people could ignore it.

Couldn't Finish It
Revisado: 05-12-24
The narrator was so boring, I just could not stay engaged in the story. I quit when I realized I still had 11 hours left, and couldn't take one more minute of listening to his monotone voice.

A series of horrifying events occur in quick succession in the same upscale L.A. neighborhood. A backyard renovation unearths an infant's body, buried 60 years ago. And soon thereafter in a nearby park, another disturbingly bizarre discovery is made not far from the body of a young woman shot in the head. Helping LAPD homicide detective Milo Sturgis to link these eerie incidents is brilliant psychologist Alex Delaware. But even the good doctor's vast experience with matters both clinical and criminal might not be enough.

Not Kellerman's Best
Revisado: 03-08-13
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
The book had a superficial quality about it. Kellerman's treatment of both the plot and the characters lacked substance and plausibility.
If you’ve listened to books by Jonathan Kellerman before, how does this one compare?
Not very well. Give this one a pass.

Can't stand the narration
Revisado: 12-16-12
Where does The Panther rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
I'm sure the story is great, but I couldn't make it past the horrible narration. I want my money back.

Arson: Brutal acts of fire-starting have ravaged the Peak District, and now a new wave of moorland infernos sweeps across the national park. For DS Ben Cooper, the blazes are best left to the fire-fighters, even with the arsonists still at large. Burglary: But when an intruder breaks into an abandoned pub, Cooper is on the case - and he swiftly unearths a pair of grim surprises. The first is evidence of a years-old double homicide. And the second is a corpse, newly dead....

So depressing and so repetitive
Revisado: 08-22-12
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
Not really. Every single book in this series gasses on and on and on about all the place names the Peak District, and waxes rhapsodic about what a super special it is. We get it already. Move on. Plus the dynamic between Diane Fry and Ben Cooper never seems to change or develop. She's a bag and he's a pushover. Duly noted. The whole series is getting hackneyed.
Would you recommend Dead and Buried to your friends? Why or why not?
No, for the reasons noted above. Character development is sadly lacking, and I feel like the scenery is its own (major) character.
Did Mike Rogers do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?
I like his Gavin Murphin. Completely captures the character.
Could you see Dead and Buried being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
No.
Any additional comments?
I used to love this series, but there is no longer anything original about it, and the characters haven't developed in any meaningful way.

Could There Be a Worse Narrator?
Revisado: 03-02-11
I usually like John Lescroart audiobooks, but had to give up on this one because of the narrator. He completely ruined the characters and the plot. I wanted to follow the story...I really did... but all I could think about was how much the narrator was annoying me.

Awful, Just Plain Awful
Revisado: 11-23-10
I have to agree with the other reviewers who have given this book a bad rating. I kept waiting for the book to get better, but it never did. It was all I could do to stick with the story - hoping that it would improve - but all I got was a lame story that retreaded every tired cliche from Baldacci's previous Camel Club novels. Nothing original in this latest addition to the series. Don't waste your credits.

Predictable Plot - Predictably Annoying Narrator
Revisado: 06-24-10
Not one of DeMille's best. The plot left nothing to the imagination, and seemed poorly put together. In addition, Scott Brick's overwrought narration of the novel detracted a great deal from the story. A laconic, vaguely whiny drawl for all of the characters - save John Corey - appears to have become Brick's trademark. The same tone is used no matter what the situation.

Narrator is SOOO Annoying!
Revisado: 01-30-10
I agree with the other customer reviewers who have complained about the narrator's reading style. He reads almost every passage in an incredibly overwrought tone, and really detracts from what is otherwise a great story. I've listened to many other audiobooks read by Scott Brick, and this emotional style is quite unusual for him.
