Excellent Firsthand Perspective

Revisado: 11-03-21

I thoroughly enjoyed Joe Kenda's firsthand account of his work in the homicide division. Please note, this (audio)book is not recommended for those who do not want to hear or read graphic details of crime scenes. Joe does warn the listener / reader before detailing accounts, but you'll greatly have to skip the last chapter and good portions of chapters.

Words from the friend of the victim

Revisado: 03-23-21

The author received a lot of criticism for publishing books about her murdered friend, and was smeared through the media and accused of seeking the limelight, being a liar, and being money hungry. Here in her own words, we get to hear the story from the close friend of the murder victim - Nicole Brown. There is some language and thoughts that are a bit dated in perspectives on racial topics, sexuality, women, and domestic violence, but this is looking through a 2021 lens regarding a book written in the 1990s, so this book would likely be considered at least the norm if not considerably "woke" about these topics in this time.

You can agree with Faye or not, but her heart appears to have been in the right place in her fight for Nicole. Faye feels very strongly that OJ Simpson is guilty of the murder and speaks of the evidence that was excluded in trial, shady behind the scene events, and how being a beloved star in the 90s was enough for the general public to think someone could never be guilty of murder.

I enjoyed her story, detailing her experience before and after the trial, the funeral, and her relationship with OJ Simpson, Nicole Brown, their friend group - including Kris Kardashian, and the media frenzy whirling around them, including the numerous people who appeared to have never known Nicole in life, but certainly claimed to be an expert on her or one of her "best friends" to catch their 15 minutes of fame after her death.

If you have an interest in the OJ Simpson trial, this one is worth a listen. You can take Faye's story with a grain of salt if you wish, but I am inclined to believe most, if not all of her story. This appears to be at minimum how she believed things were.

Another 50 shades of grey knockoff

Revisado: 04-08-20

The book is cringey and centers around an asshole rich lawyer Dom with a secret good guy gooey center and a creepy, delusional, stalker, fangirl female protagonist.

The female protagonist has been obsessed with rich lawyer Dom dude since she was a teenager and he spoke at her her school. He let her bum a cig off him. She becomes a cleaner at the practice with the intentions of hopefully one day meeting him, but if she can't accomplish that, she has a competition with a coworker about who can get the honor of cleaning his office so they can smell his seat and maybe jack off in his office. Yeah you read that right, she wants to smell his seat. I'm sorry, what?

She impresses him with her cleaning abilities and becomes the cleaning lady at his private residence. he has no idea who she is because the practice works with a premise that the help is to clean and not be seen or heard.

While she cleans his personal residence, she becomes aware that he enjoys partaking in elite escort auctions. Crazy pants female protagonist is SO desperate for his attention that she becomes an escort. He bids on her, they do the deed. the whole thing is cringey as hell. More follows, but I couldn't bear to continue listening to this any longer. I presume romance follows.

The shame is there is some good writing in here. the author has potential and sometimes the characters are well hashed out. Other times I found myself internally saying no one talks like that, and no man thinks like that, these are completely ridiculous flights of fancy that aren't particularly enjoyable.

Great if you want to hate listen to something. If you just want the smut, I wasn't impressed by the first sex scene and it took a VERY long time to get there. I love a trashy romance novel and smut, but honestly, skip it. It's one of many 50 Shades of Grey knock offs. I'm sick of the cliche asshole Dom eith the heart of gold. It's rinse and repeat and completely old hat at this point. Pass on it.

Great Performance

Revisado: 10-06-19

This was very well performed. I honestly am not typically a fan of fiction in terms of books. I am more or a non-fiction type of enthusiastic so I am typically very picky of titles I pick up in the fiction/fantasy genre. My interest was piqued because of Daniel Tennant. He is a small voice actor in the book, but I found the story engaging and well performed. It's a very short story, but I found it went by quickly as I was definitely immersed in the story and was curious as to what would happen to the protagonist next. If you're looking for a short little fantasy "snack" of an audiobook, and you enjoy a story involving nobles and vampires, this is worth a listen for you.

Amazing writing and amazing narration. The narrator is perfect for the content and enhances the book. A perfect pairing.

Bad to mediocre writing

Revisado: 07-26-18

I returned this one. The writers seem like they're 40-something shut-ins. Narrator is decent enough.

Conceited and reads like a cult manual

Read "Designer Relationships: A Guide to Happy Monogamy, Positive Polyamory and Optimistic Open Relationships" instead.
