Sustains

Revisado: 02-16-22

The second book of the series invites new characters and explores the originals. I enjoyed the real life drama that unfolded when even close family members are secluded together with nowhere else to go. Interwoven relationships and surprising caveats. I look forward to the third.

Pace Improves

Revisado: 02-12-22

Story begins a little slow and made me wonder whether I should continue. It didn't take long for the characters and events to hook me. The pace felt slow but remained steady enough for me to follow the characters on their journey. Exciting, heart thumping, emotional and suspenseful. Particularly the ending. Worth the effort to hang in.

Its Not Wonderful But Its Pretty Good

Revisado: 07-07-21

It's a Wonderful Life is one of my favorite holiday movies. Like 'A Christmas Carol,' this story has been tweaked and twisted every which way. Sometimes to make it more up-to-date. Sometimes to change the sexes (as in this story). Sometimes, even the Nationalities are changed around. Though I was entertained by this rendition, I was not enthralled as I had hoped. Thin in character development and storyline, probably abbreviated by time constraint. Pretty Good, but not Wonderful.

Scarpetta holds up

Revisado: 06-07-21

Every Cornwell book begins with an attention grabbing moment. From then on I know I'm hooked. Hearing Kate Reading read makes the best better. Any book she reads will be a good one. She makes them that way. The storyline is poignant and heartwarming at moments. I was moved to just about every emotion throughout this book. I own this book and have re-read it more than once. Always holds up.

Modern day Sherlock Tarzan

Revisado: 05-21-20

I’ve only read a couple of Harlan Coben‘s books. This one impressed me so well because of it engaging characters. The story kept my attention throughout. Moving from one scene to another and one character group to another. No confusion there at all. Dialogue was great and suspenseful. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a mix of mystery and drama and a little whimsy too. I could not give it higher marks and I would question anyone giving less than the full. Read the book. The Regrets wil only belong to the characters.

More about Kinsey

Revisado: 05-17-20

So many of the stories leave threads of ambiguity as they go along. Little teasers. ‘Ping’ and move on. Kinsey’s relationships and past experiences are touched on and sometimes not expanded. Sort of fun to read a story that fleshed out the thread of her marriage experience. Also, how it went awry. A bit of a tearjerker at the end and that was a splash of nice.

Another stunner

Revisado: 01-05-20

I can always count on Scarpetta stories to keep me on the edge of my seat. Just when I think I cannot stand the bad guys getting away with another horrible thing, one of the characters steps in and saves the day. Never the same, always intriguing and worth every tense exciting minute.

Scarpetta can cook!

Revisado: 12-03-19

For years now I have enjoyed the trials and tribulations and escapades of Kay Scarpetta and her cohorts. I have listened to CJ Critt’s audiobooks for years, too. Her voice is so easy to listen to. That makes a big difference in an audiobook for me. The Scarpetta books are always intriguing, interesting and entertaining. I can listen to them again and again.

Cold Cold Disappointment

Revisado: 08-18-18

After reading Hidden River, I was excited and looking forward to more Adrian McKinty. I was so sure of that, I purchased it before I realized how completely mistaken I could be. It has taken me weeks of piecemeal listening to trudge my way along. I hoped to have the story break into an engaging story event. With six-plus hours of listening still left, I give up. I don't mind giving stories an effort and benefit of a doubt. What I cannot do is force myself time after time to endure a story that is not only droning, but drifts incessantly in a way I cannot follow. It does not build upon itself, nor does it establish a cohesive storyline. Perhaps it may, eventually, but it will happen without me. One day I may attempt another McKinty story, but not any day soon. I can only hope that Hidden River is not a one hit wonder. If I could return the book for a refund I would do it.

Murder club

Revisado: 08-02-18

I have been enjoying the murder club series. It’s great to hear again how they all got together. I enjoy books and movies that portray women as feminine and strong, intelligent and effective. This book was a fun read. I particularly appreciate the plot twist at the end. Well done!
