Such memorable characters and a compelling picture of life in the British Navy

Revisado: 02-02-25

Aubrey and Maturin are two of the most developed and endearing characters in fiction. I know of no series of novels as enjoyable as this 20 book series. They will become your companions for life. Start now!

The suspense and pace of this book were riveting. Hard to put it down.

Sandford has never been better. This recaptures some of the excitement and suspense f the early Davenport novels. Stroke of genius to have Davenport and crew in the story but allowing Letty to be the focus. As much as anyone can enjoy a pandemic story in a post-pandemic world, this was so enjoyable and absolutely satisfying!

Love Aubrey-Maturin series but this narrator is awful

Revisado: 08-30-23

I want everyone to read O’Brian’s series, one of the most wonderful around. But this version of Ionian Mission is dreadfully narrated, rendering Aubrey a castigating bully instead of the warm-hearted character the author created. Yuck. Just read it instead

Excellent historical mystery!

Revisado: 12-29-17

These historical mysteries continue to entertain. The storylines and rich detail of virtually every description provide such an engaging vehicle for a murder mystery. And the characters continue to evolve in interesting ways. I will continue through the series and mourn when I reach the end. Excellent fiction!

Another great thriller!! Such good characters!

Revisado: 01-26-17

Harris keeps getting better and better. The characters we've come to know and love (or revile, as the case may be) continue to evolve in such intriguing ways. The plot and pacing is so taut, and filled with delicious twists and turns. This series is some of the best fiction around. I'm completely hooked and running to the next installment without delay.

If you love dogs, this is a must!

Robert Crais is at his best in this heart-wrenching, gut twisting police story. It'll grab you by the fifth chapter and you won't want to put it down.

That #*%! Flowers Strikes Again! Love it!

Revisado: 10-24-16

if you've read any of the previous Virgil Flowers novels, you WILL need to read this one too. It follows the now-familiar formula that has made this character so likeable and pushes all the same gratifying buttons. If you haven't read a Flowers novel, what's keeping you? This is a good one to start with, though you can jump into any of them and still have a great adventure.

Great to revisit these past Harry Bosch adventures

Revisado: 01-19-16

Harry Bosch is such a well-developed character that he seems like a real person whose life and past novels we can revisit like scrapbook stories. And these 3 are some of the best. The narrows has Harry and agent Rachel Walling chasing The Poet through Las Vegas and LA. Echo Park is perhaps the most intricate and best of the Bosch novels; every police procedural should be this deep (the Amazon series "Bosch" only scratches the surface of this rich storyline). This is Harry at his best. The Overlook is also a great post 9/11 read and listen but, even to serious Bosch fan, Harry's almost maniacal distrust of the FBI gets to be too much in the Overlook, with Harry endangering a federal terrorism investigation just so he can control evidence and witnesses because he doesn't want to get closed out by the feds. It all gets downright irresponsible, but readers will still enjoy the ride. Connelly is just so good at his craft; no one can touch him. And BTW I just don't get the negative comments in some reviews about Len Carriou; I listen to lots of audiobooks and Len is one of the best. So even if you read these when first published, this collection will have you binge listening and feeling like you're riding shotgun with the famous detective Heironymous Bosch. And what a ride it is.
