Very Well Done. Not the best one to start with.

Revisado: 04-13-25

I found this series by accident. This is my favorite genre & after 20+ yrs with Audible, I have trouble finding new series. I started w/book 2 which I liked well enough to get another but went to book 6 because I didn’t like the synopsis of the others. One gripe I have about the genre is the main characters are similar, author to author. Big guy, special forces, personal tragedy, murder of spouse/squad etc Or alcoholic detective, divorced, burned out yet beloved by a partner. This guy isn’t a phone-it-in character. The plots of books 6 to here have all been more believable than most; and interestingly, they relate to current news events. I’m hooked.

I like Mr Montagna

Revisado: 04-05-25

But he wasn’t right for this. Really monotonous. I have no more words so I’m tying till I hit 15. I live almost everything Elmore Leonard has written

This time Scalzi missed the mark-

Revisado: 03-27-25

The dialogue is funny b/c the premise is funny. The premise is actually 4 stars of funny. But after a few hours of WTAF Cheese! It gets stale (pun).

Horrible Voicing

Revisado: 03-13-25

I bought this years ago as new books were coming out. I got 15 min, hated it & couldn’t finish. I tried again a couple years later. Same with thing. I’m listening to the series -again. I return to the series when I don’t want to buy credits. Later books all mention Nagatha and the DeLorian and the story itself isn’t recapped anywhere. So, what the heck, it’s only 7 hours. Now I’m fast forwarding thru the worst of it.

Value for $$ Really Nifty Series

Revisado: 02-28-25

I can’t tell if the characters are so vivid because of the writing or the narrator’s rendition. I think any other narrator could not pull it off. I won’t use a credit for less than 8 hrs of listening time. Having several books in one file solves that problem. Now, of course, I’m hooked. Happily they bound the rest of the books into sets of 3 so now, it’s really affordable. Yay.

Wonderful Twist on an Old Favorite

Revisado: 02-13-25

My Sherlock Holmes hard copy & Audible books have been well & truly read. Plus some new takes on the old boy which were entertaining. This is something truly unique but totally familiar.

Excellent value. Great Story Telling & Narrator

Revisado: 01-28-25

I think my title pretty much say it all. The main character has an odd sense of humor that the narrator fully captures. Some of the plots seemed a bit far fetched but they were entertaining enough that a few minutes in I wanted to finish.

After I finished the 4 book collection I decided the next in the series was worth a credit. But the last book The Numbers, is a prequel & it’s not identified as such. Very, very disappointing. If you’re new to this t character by all means start there. But don’t assume there’s anything new.

The Nick Mason Novels are Fun

Revisado: 12-18-24

The main plot of this book, not so much. But it does set up a nice sequel from the 2ndary plot. I will be keeping an eye out.

An Entertaining Experience

Revisado: 11-28-24

It’s not quite as good as the first, but better than 2&3. (I didn’t finish 3). It’s sort of like what you’d get if Hemming way wrote super-hero comics.

The Best

Revisado: 11-18-24

I’m only a couple hours into it & had to tell someone how great this book is. I haven’t read/listened to any Winslow novel I didn’t really enjoy but this is something else. It’s like rich music. The narrator found the perfect pace and pitch. Having said that, I had to slow it WAY down to be able to hear it. When I was able to relax into it, it became a pleasure to listen to. I think it’s better than if I were doing the reading.
