The single-best audio production I've ever heard.

I've listened to scores of audio books as a long-time Audible subscriber and this production truly raises the bar.

Grand, sweeping attempts at overdrawn & overproduced productions leave me cold more often than not but for literally the first time, I felt immersed rather than pulled out of the story. The scope and breadth of recording suits the material, creating a deep, rich and captivating listen; in no way does it feel stuck on or an afterthought. Of particular note, the original score is a revelation–it's exactly the right temperature and truly adds to the narrative flow.

Every single aspect of this audio publication just sings; the story, the performances and the production values all add up to a whole greater than the sum of the individual parts. I imagine some of this reads as a little purple in its prose and might seem to suffer from a bit of hyperbole, but every syllable is true as I see it. Highest recommendations.

I love me some Lawrence Block, particularly the Keller books (I've long considered Robert Forster's read of "Hit Man" a high-water mark for entertainment audiobooks). With "Getting Off," Block once again displays his penchant for crafting endearing sociopaths. Expertly-paced, colloquial and smart with some truly horrifying passages–Block fleshes out the main character's motivations by painting a hideously uncomfortable childhood–the book really cooks and gets under the skin. Lily Bask turns in a terrific performance, particularly when called upon to read some of the story's more risque action. Good fun & worth a listen.

Recording artists overindulged in distracting sfx

Fine enough Baldacci yarn; perhaps a bit implausible but suspension of disbelief is part and parcel of suspense thriller fiction. What is NOT a part of it is spoon-feeding the listener by dropping an inordinate number of distracting sound effects (I know what a gun firing is supposed to sound like). McLarty delivers a more than fine enough performance--I'd like to hear his voice and not a ton of gun shots drowning him out.
