Good Keigo story but not his best

Revisado: 02-24-24

Well worth the read. I rank it below a few others he’s written. For reference Malice and The Devotion of Suspect X are my two favorites. If you like the author definitely give this one a read/listen. But don’t expect it to be in the same tier as the two I mentioned.

Group Chat/ Text Messages are Fine

Revisado: 09-28-22

Several reviews talk about the text messages and group chat and how they were difficult to follow. i disagree. they are easy to follow. This is especially true after to get to know the characters a little more. I don't think you need a written copy to accompany.

As far as the story goes: I thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm a big fan of the series and there is no drop off in quality here. the story was entertaining, the mystery was a good one, and Strike and Robin continue to shine as characters. overall, five stars.

narration takes a moment to get used to

Revisado: 07-10-21

No spoilers here. A take on the classic locked room mystery. The story is solid and fun to try to figure who is the culprit. The narration is jarring for the first few minutes. It sounds like it's being narrated by Siri or your maps navigation app at first. You kinda get used to it after a few minutes and then it's no big deal. Definitely not a reason to avoid this audiobook in my opinion. Plus the narration gets better as more characters are introduced and different voices are used. All in all, I enjoyed it.

Excellent. Full endorsement

Revisado: 06-08-21

This was a surprisingly good book. I hadn't heard of the author or book before and happen to see it on a recommendations list. The performance is well done and the story is superb.

good story and a note on narration

Revisado: 05-23-21

The story is very good, I think most reviewers agree. Many reviewers dislike the narration but I had zero problem with the narration. I was apprehensive given some of the reviews, but they are over blown. The narration works well.

My guess is their gripe is with the voice choice for one character in particular but I think it matches the character's personality so I enjoyed it.

a pleasant surprise

Revisado: 12-22-20

I had never heard of this author or this book prior to doing some research on what book to look into next. somebody online mentioned it was pretty good and the description they laid out intrigued me. I read the publisher's description and decided to give it try. it started off a tab slow but I kept with it and was rewarded. the characters were well developed, which is part of the slow start-- foundation setting isn't always exciting but it pays off. once the crime was revealed and the main character began detecting, I was enthralled. I hope this becomes a series and I look forward to the next one.

long but worth it

Revisado: 12-19-20

I read the first half years ago and never finished and always wanted to go back. knowing I'd have to start over and since it's a long book, I always seemed to put it off. finally came back to the book and I absolutely enjoyed it throughly. some people hate the ending and I was concerned but there's no need for concern. it's a solid ending.

business stoicism

Revisado: 12-11-20

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. it goes by quickly and packs a considerable punch, so to speak. it helped ground my understanding of stoicism and provided practical tools to implement in my day to day life and outlook. I recommend

classic Christie

Revisado: 12-09-20

very good hercule poirot book. definitely worth a listen or a read. the narration is top notch as usual with Hugh. not Christie's best work but certain admirable nonetheless. I recommend.

good book three

Revisado: 12-03-20

the series certainly seems to have been written to be a trilogy. a satisfying ending. for that reason I'm a little surprised there's a 4th book coming out. I'll check it out
