Excellent grasp of a lot of marriages

Revisado: 08-07-23

With or without an affair this story resonated on so many levels! The unsatisfactory ending was perfect because life - especially when it comes to marriage - doesn’t always have a satisfactory end! Stephen Curry’s narration was excellent and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Obviously an American who left the other review about Curry! Because it’s always about Americans! 🤦🏻‍♀️🙄😂

Boring narrator

Revisado: 07-11-23

I love the DC Smith stories but these female characters are stereotyped and boooring! The narrator sounds like she’d rather be doing anything else other than narrating this story. Her reading is awful, no expression or interest in what’s happening. I will listen to the next as it’s free but will see after that if there’s no change. Grainger - women aren’t just trouble makers in their jobs and have to be ‘controlled’ by their male bosses nor are they just bored, podgy old women who need to exercise more. 🙄

Every killer in the series is a woman!

Revisado: 06-18-23

I really enjoy the performance and I like Detective Dan but I’ve listened to all 3 free books and every killer so far has been female! Why?! I find that annoying but other than that easy listening!

WARNING set 2013 - disparages women to insult men

Revisado: 09-11-22

I liked this book - the narration was pretty terrible though -no change in voices for the main characters and sometimes confusing to know when it was the guy talking, especially when it went from her perspective to his in the same chapter without acknowledging it. But really - I had to check when this was written as the vagina jokes, the 'bitch' comments between male characters as well as the constant disparaging 'don't be a pussy' or 'I'll go buy you tampax' as an insult to male characters got really old really quickly. I don't normally bother to review books but this one was just too much as could be triggering to some listeners. Listened to more recent books of hers and was nothing like this.

Please don't narrate anymore books!!

Revisado: 03-10-18

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

Great story, very boring narrator! Does the author have control over the narrator of their novels?? I couldn't tell whether it was a female or male narrator - which wasn't a big deal - but she sounded totally bored and it was often very difficult to distinguish between different characters.

Would you be willing to try another one of Katherine Moennig’s performances?

Probably not.

Boring voice!

Revisado: 02-08-17

Is there anything you would change about this book?

Connelly seems to have forgotten some of his previous plot points. A couple of old story lines were mentioned however not as they happened in the books. He stated that Bosch had a partner who went rogue and he had to go find him, but that was in reference to the Drug squad character who faked his own death - never Harry's partner. There were a couple of others I caught but can't remember them now. At the time though, it was disappointing to realise Connelly stuffed up on the recall of his own books.

What three words best describe Titus Welliver’s performance?

Boring, mumbling, boring

Any additional comments?

I love all the Harry Bosch books and have them all as well as the Mickey Haller audios. Some of the readers voices have annoyed me over time but this one was by far the worst. Welliver sounded bored by the story and the character, often not bothering to change his voice at all so the characters were barely distingusihable from each other. He mumbled regularly and there was one sectioned I played back 3 times and still have no idea what he said!!
