The debut psychological thriller that will forever change the way you look at other people's lives. Every day the same. Rachel takes the same commuter train every morning and night. Every day she rattles down the track, flashes past a stretch of cozy suburban homes, and stops at the signal that allows her to daily watch the same couple breakfasting on their deck. She’s even started to feel like she knows them. Jess and Jason, she calls them. Their life - as she sees it - is perfect. Not unlike the life she recently lost.

Good

There's not much of a mystery here, but I thought the author wrote convincingly in three different women's voices.

First Rate Narration Elevates This Novel
Revisado: 07-20-12
If you could sum up The Bloomsday Dead in three words, what would they be?
Irish Crime Story.
What other book might you compare The Bloomsday Dead to and why?
Other Adrian McKinty titles, especially the prequels.
What does Gerard Doyle bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
He's masterly when it comes to portraying different characters in the story with changes in his voice, accent and inflection. I believe I care for or dislike the characters the more for this. He's among the very best narrators I have ever heard.
Any additional comments?
Good for those who like crime stories and who aren't going to be turned off by a morally ambiguous protagonist. The narration is first class. And who doesn't love to listen to an Irish brogue?

A body has been found on the overlook near Mulholland Drive. The victim, identified as Dr. Stanley Kent, has two bullet holes in the back of his head, from what looks like an execution-style shooting. LAPD detective Harry Bosch is called out to investigate. As soon as Bosch begins retracing Dr. Kent's steps, contradictions emerge. While Kent doesn't seem to have had ties to organized crime, he did have access to dangerous radioactive substances from just about every hospital in Los Angeles County.

A Bit Dry for My Taste
Revisado: 03-12-12
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
I'm glad I listened as Foundation is foundation sci-fi. That said, I'm glad it was relatively short as I didn't enjoy it as much as I had hoped to.
What did you like best about this story?
I enjoy good hard sci-fi sometimes and this was somewhat fulfilling in that regard.
Have you listened to any of Scott Brick???s other performances before? How does this one compare?
This was a usual Scott Brick performance. He's good and ubiquitous, but he is not among my favorite narrators.
Do you think Foundation needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
Foundation has many follow-up books.
Any additional comments?
The lack of women in the story is quite jarring.
Lots and lots of politics.

Trite story with a mostly unlikeable protagonist. Skip it unless you like to be lectured to.

Feels Unpolished
Revisado: 04-30-10
There are too many plot points revealed in the 11th hour to make this a truly effective thriller. And the characters sometimes display jarring emotional deficits that made me feel like Woods still had some work to do to fill in the blanks. Nevertheless, this was worth my credit, and I very much enjoyed the setting and a couple of the characters who were more fleshed out than the others. The narrator was also good.
