Great detective story, with wonderful twists. Kept me engaged and awake for much longer stretches than I anticipated.
Reminded me of the Dick Hill performances of the Reacher series, which are my absolute favorites.

The voice performances and the production on this one are excellent. I really liked the voices and they fit well with the characters of the story.
Even the occasional music and effects / which I usually don’t like - worked well and added depth. Probably because they were sparse and extremely soft and subtle.

My only gripe were some occasional insights by Decker that were withheld for unnaturally long stretches, made worse by other characters not probing either. Something like “he looked again and then he saw it. An important detail that had been staring him in the face the whole time. “we have to go to Utah, right now”, “Why?” “I discovered something hugely important and the key is in Utah”. “Ok, let’s take my car and go”

Overall, this is a great novel. Highly recommend it.
Look forward to continue the series

Great viewpoint, but too much jargon

The premise that too many strategies break down because of weak execution is strong. From personal experience as a marketing consultant I have learned over the years that success is made or broken at the point of sale. So a book on the last link really got me interested.
Although the book does provide some interesting structures and advice on making strategy work in practice, there is too much jargon in it to really hold my attention.

Phrases like 'only a consistent, compelling and integrated sales strategy aligned with long-term strategic and quantified business objectives can lead to true and sustained success' (I made this one up). The words 'strategic' and 'integrated' seem to be used at least three times in each sentence. In paper form, it would have helped to read the story faster by skipping over the jargon phrases. In audio, it annoys quickly.

So two stars for the idea, no more because of the jargon.
