High testosterone violence starring a “super-agent”

I’m not a fan of a flawless hero who solves all problems with perfect execution and extraordinary skill. This guy’s suite of skills is all about killing and torture. Give me a real human being like the one in Marc Cameron’s series starring Arliss Cutter, Deputy US Marshal stationed in Alaska. It’s as good as this story is bad.

I so much wanted to hear this story about a great but little known exploration. It’s my kind of history. But the narrator used the same inflection for practically every sentence and I just couldn’t make it to the end.

PT shows off his knowledge of WWII naval gunnery in context of weak story

I gave up on this after two hours of listening. I had learned a lot about how gunnery worked on the USS Nevada, but there was very little actual story. And the narrator was tedious. I’ve listened to every WWII novel PT has written and I am a big fan, but this one is a dud.

4-1/2 stars: This story is centered on a mystery, but it is just as much about the life of the person who happens to be the detective on the case. If a reader is more intent on finding a thrilling mystery, this is probably not the best choice. But if you might enjoy a character study of a man who happens to be a good detective, try this.

Chee and Leaphorn in the same story, first time

Chee and Leaphorn are very different police officers, the one being relatively new to the Navajo police and the other with 20 years experience. Hillerman uses their differences to highlight their personalities, as they work and think in very different ways. I have read all the books this far in the series and this is my favorite so far.

This installment is much more grim and dark than the first two, which I thought were very good procedurals. I would not have begun this third episode had I known just how grim and depressing it is. If “noir” is your thing, then proceed at your own risk. You might actually like it. And what the heck—it’s free after all.

Great episodic story with several twists. But the narrator was flat and made little effort to distinguish the voices of the various characters. A truly good narrator would have made this a top notch audio novel instead of just a good one.

I’m a Joe Pickett fan and this book was as good as the previous ones, until an uninspired ending. The narrator, however, was as outstanding as usual.

I took this book because it was cheap or free, I don’t remember which. I’m usually disappointed in today’s SciFi so I’m reluctant to spend a credit. But it is much better than average, IMHO, and worth a credit to go back and get book one. It has the right mix of action and suspense that suits my taste.

It took patience to get through a very slow start, setting the stage, but the end was very exciting. It didn’t end as I might have wished, but it was still worth reading—4.5 stars.
