Another Great Book!

Revisado: 10-25-23

Scott Brick is wonderful, as always.
And I always enjoy a Reacher throwback to the 90’s. It’s fun to read a story where fax machines are so important and researching someone’s background can’t be done with a smart phone.
An overall great addition to my Jack Reacher Library!

Excellent

Revisado: 10-20-23

The book itself is so in depth with Clarice and Hannibal and their inner monologues. As always, it adds so much more than a movie ever could.
I’m not usually a fan of Frank Muller, in other books he’s had a weird lilt in his voice at the end of each sentence.
His narration on this book was very soothing and even, very easy to listen to.
My only criticism is that the main characters, at the least, should have a more distinct voice. Gumb, of course, sounds different than everyone else. But, there’s not enough difference, for instance, between Clarice and Jack to tell one voice from the other.

Warning! Do not eat/drive while listening to this book!

Revisado: 05-14-23

I was laughing so hard that I started choking on my granola bar while driving. This book, like the rest of the Thomas Prescott series, is fantastic! I love that the protagonist is fiercely faithful to, and protective of, his little sister. No one comes before her and that’s very endearing. And at the same time, it’s murder mystery with absolute hilarity. Who would have thought that middle-of-the-night grave digging or a fight with an elderly dementia patient in a nursing home could be so flipping funny?
What I also like about this book is that even though it’s a prequel, you can read it before the other books and it doesn’t give anything away. Or you can read it after book four and it’s just as delightful.
The narrator has such a unique voice, and a great storyteller cadence. It really feels like he is just telling you about his life and not at all like he’s reading from the pages of a book.

Not my favorite narration but an interesting plot line

Revisado: 03-06-23

I’ve never written a bad review but this one was hard to get through. The narrator has a very beautiful, sultry voice but every female character sounded the same and every male character sounded just like the female characters but slightly lower. It sounded like she was trying too hard to make her voice deeper. The rich older man sounded no different than the young surfer guy. And none of the character sounded any different from the narration voice. A lot of Koontz’s wit was lost in the monotone of the voice.

Amazing Series!

Revisado: 11-22-22

I just finished this book, the third in the series, and I’m already sad that I’ll finish the rest very soon.
The series is Jackman and Evans but I have never read a dedicated series where the main characters are not always the main story.
The twists and turns of these books are insane but completely plausible and thoroughly integrated. No cheating, no deus ex machina.
I am rarely stumped by an ending and this author has got me three times in a row!
You would think I’d have caught on by now, but my guesses are always wrong. In fact, I tried to guess the opposite of what I initially guessed and I was still wrong in every way.
I usually hate being wrong but this author keeps me on my toes by making me enjoy being wrong for a change!

A fun quick read.

Revisado: 10-30-22

Everyone complaining about this story needs to take life a little less seriously. Not every book has to be a masterpiece of literature.
This one is concise, well written, and fun to listen to. It was a nice couple of hours entertainment after the long, heavy, emotional books I’ve been listening to.
I enjoyed it.

Un-freaking-believable!

Revisado: 08-30-22

You can guess, but you’ll have to re-evaluate everything you thought you knew and guess again.
Then repeat.

This book is damn good! Emotionally and psychologically it is a bit dark. I didn’t think it was too gory, at all. (but that’s subjective)
If you think the combination of psychotic behavior, children, kidnapping, and torture might upset you and all you want are good plot twists, read Jodi Picoult.

I really liked it

Revisado: 05-19-21

Other reviewers have said the ending is predictable or the details were wishy-washy... I don’t think either of those are true. It was an enjoyable read. If you’re searching for the most amazing book ever written or if an enjoyable book with good plot twists is NOT what you’re looking for...then go ahead and skip it. Otherwise I definitely recommend it.

What a treasure!

Revisado: 04-01-21

Brilliantly written, beautifully narrated. I was surprised to find out how old the book is. There are only a couple of clues that date the story but otherwise it is easy to visualize as a modern book. And, as always, Scott Brick is fantastic!

Very entertaining

Revisado: 11-29-20

I like that there is more than one mystery in these books. Some of them are stand alone and some weave back into the main mystery.
It’s weird not to hear Traylor Howard as Natalie, but the narrator does a very good job.
