Story was good

Revisado: 02-08-20

I enjoyed the book though I gave to admit that I missed the back stories which are just as much a part of this series as the storyline itself. In that regard I was disappointed it’s a long 6 months until the next book which I hope will be back to the usual family like dialogue and fights between the characters . But I still would not miss a book in the series

No Better

Revisado: 11-13-13

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

Anyone that cares nothing about the story but enjoys all the descriptive sex scenes

What do you think your next listen will be?

Unfortunately the 3rd book in the series I bought all 3 and hoping each time I get a glimpse of the Ghost Ops books that I liked

Would you listen to another book narrated by Alexandra R. Josephs?

yes

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

The story could have gone so much further.

Any additional comments?

No I pretty much said it all in in the review of book 1

Boring

Revisado: 11-13-13

What disappointed you about Midnight Man?

It was 80% sex and 20% story, I prefer my books the other way around, very disappointed

What was most disappointing about Lisa Marie Rice’s story?

not enough story which had some merit, but was overtaken by the unending sex descriptions

What about Alexandra R. Josephs’s performance did you like?

She had a good feel for the characters

What character would you cut from Midnight Man?

none

Any additional comments?

Not sure why this was in romance sails more to the erotic

What did you like best about Calculated in Death? What did you like least?

I love the In Death Series have read all 36 books, love the back characters as much as the main ones

If you’ve listened to books by J. D. Robb before, how does this one compare?

This one lacked the fast pace usually associated with the In Death Series, not as much action

What does Susan Ericksen bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Love Susan Ericksen, she individualises If thats a word all the characters except for the one hiccup with peabody in an earlier series the characters that she portrays are like old friends

Do you think Calculated in Death needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

Bring on more In Death books, love them

Any additional comments?

I found this one slow, too many accounting details which got boring to listen too. Halfway through it I justed wanted Eve to get on with it with her ususal style

Mixed Feelings

Revisado: 03-14-09

Bit slow, not the usual pace and humour.I would not recommend it as a stand alone book as it would be off putting to the rest of the series and that would be a shame.To get the best from this series you need to start at the beginning its the only way to understand the characters and how they all come into play. I discuss the books with my sister who has also listened to the series and we often laugh at the antics of the characters. I love this series and thankfully a new one has been released. Keep them comming. I dont agree with the reviews about the narration,to maintain all the characters throughout 27 books is brilliant. well done Susan. Do yourself a favour, buy book 1 and go from there.

Great Series

Revisado: 03-09-09

Its often been said in many reviews that to start at the begiing and just keep going is the way to go. ABSOLUTLY. The background characters and their stories are as much a part of this series as the actual gruesome deaths and although each book can each be listened to individually to get the most out of it I feel you need the whole lot. Excellant narration, geat job Susan even though you did have a hiccup with Peabody at one stage. Only 2 to go and I have caught up here's hoping J D Robb has another about to go.

Not as good as "Fast Women" and because i enjoyed that so much I expected more from this one. It had its good moments and did show the authors usual humour.

First Jennifer Crusie book for me but certainly not the last. What a very witty story,good narration,I found myself laughing throughout the book, humour from beginning to end. The women in this book are hilarious,good friends through thick and thin, and mostly in trouble.A thoroughly enjoyable book

Good

Revisado: 09-14-08

I thoroughly enjoyed this book about the St Kilda Operatives so much so that I went looking for any others. The Narrator handle the characters very well. Pity this narrator did not do the first book

50/50

Revisado: 09-14-08

A good story ruined by mundane narration. The narrator sounded bored which distracted from the story. Its hard to get into the tension of the plot when it is read with no emotion. Had I read this before Blue smoke and Murder another story about the St Kilda operatives I would not have gotten it and that would have been a shame as it is another good story but with much better narration.I often wonder if the Author knows just what an awful job some of the narrators do. end result. Get the second book and forget this one.
