From a setup scenario with potential for so much more depth and complexity, it disappears into a series of romances and comfortable endings that put me in mind of the clichéd high school essay conclusion: "They all went home tired but happy".

What a brilliant author Dennis Lehane is: His plots are plausible and calculated, his writing skilled and effortless. Perhaps it is the genre that caused him to be less recognised than he should be. Whatever the reason, readers are missing out. This, for me, is the best of the Joe Coughlin series. And the narrator is perfect for the book.

Well. he's never going to be John Grisham or Scott Turow but it's not a bad read. He can write, the plot was thought out well, it just didn't have much spark. I could also have done without the philosophising about justice - yeah, we know, lots of grey areas.

Started with potential then rambled from implausible to just silly. This is the second of Abbott's books I've tried.
It seems obvious a writer should map out the plot before they start but here's another one who seems to think they can just wing it. Sorry, if I'm paying for a book I expect more effort.
The narrator was fine until he started the annoying habit of making statements sound like questions.

A fair read but for a repeated and annoying misuse of the word "wondered".
Wonder is something you think, not something you say. If you voice something you winder, you "ask".
Other than that Scott Brick improves all the time. He has now developed the ability to rescue a book from mediocre to not bad. But this is not an author I plan to follow.

what a pity the unabridged version is not available. In the beginning this version it seemed to offer more of what I sought: The actual mechanisms of death as they vary according to the cause, and what the patient feels as each kicks in. It moves more on to the philosophy of death and wisdom of how loved ones can best help the dying patient psychologically. Useful things to know but not what I sought.

Who wrote this and what have they done with John Verdon? Long winded, overwritten, ponderous plot with more holes than a Swiss cheese. Narrator thinks all emotion is shouted, and he really shouldn't do women. Let us know when the real Verdon writes again, please.

The story seems to be up to Hiaasen's usual standard, but it is ruined by the really bad narration. Hiassen has had some great readers, why suddenly this guy? The reading is jerky, sing-song and the emphasis is often wrong.What a pity.

The real mystery is how this ever got published. A weak and plodding attempt at a teenage version of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, maybe? The narrator certainly seems to be reading to children. An implausible, rambling plot littered with unoriginal philosophy explained in wearying detail. My patience wore out in the first half - in which very little happened.

Jeff Harding is all I ever want in a narrator. He IS the character and never gets in the way of the story. Missed you in this one Jeff..
