Historia
Jonathan Hale is terrified. The wealthy property lawyer and money launderer is back home in Surrey after a nightmare experience in a U.S. jail. The police have him under secret surveillance. But Hales's fears lie elsewhere. His plea bargain has earned him the enmity of The Reptile, a notoriously cold-hearted gangster, now confined for life in a maximum-security jail in Arizona thanks to Hale. He's taken precautions, moved house, hidden his identity and installed security for his wife and family. But still… what if The Reptile escapes?

Predictable plot and storyline
Revisado: 07-08-25
I like Nick Louth’s stories which are generally interesting but this is definitely my least favourite. The catfishing of two young girls that led to the kidnapping and subsequent drama is tediously predictable and not quite credible since one father is a detective and the other an ex-con on the run from vengeful partners. The police operations came across as incredibly bumbling. I didn’t bother listening to the end.

A dubious Sherlock
Revisado: 05-13-25
These are passable investigations but the detective in the stories is nothing like Doyle’s famed Sherlock Holmes. This Sherlock is not particularly impressive. He sometimes fails to do basic research that would reveal information that is public knowledge, turns into a tongue-tied adolescent by a young woman who is supposedly an assassin but who comes across as a giggling flirtatious schoolgirl who manoeuvres men including Sherlock into stroking her hair and, boringly and predictably, the women in the plots are all astoundingly beautiful.

Amazing full cast audio production and storyline

Difficult to follow
Revisado: 03-02-25
It’s hard to rate this book because I don’t know if it’s good or bad. I gave up after the first chapter because the conversations-only format is too difficult to follow. There’s no narration - just people talking and background sounds like in a radio play. I have to guess who’s who by trying to recognise different voices. It worked in radio plays back in the day because the plots and characters were kept very simple. This one is like watching a movie with the screen off and only the sound on…conversations interpreted by heavy breathing (which can indicate a nightmare or someone running) or sounds of sirens or ringing telephones without the visual or narration to provide context.

Not a whodunnit but who-did-what-to-whom
Revisado: 02-25-25
Penny Louise writes beautifully. This is not a traditional whodunit. The murders are almost a sub-plot to a convoluted corporate intrigue. The action revolves round the quiet personality and relationships of Inspector Gamache rather than a mystery to be solved. But unlike many of the previous books in the series, the plot in this one stretches credibility - from a name card that gives Gamache’s entry and privileges to elite places to inaccuracies about rare earths which are not rare nor are they earths and due to their physical composition cannot be transported like drugs in financially meaningful amounts.

Update: Original and interesting
Revisado: 02-05-25
Update: This is not for you if you have no interest whatsoever in science and have no idea what the periodic table refers to. Unlike The Martian, where the science is made simple and understandable, the science throughout in this book is inter-related and requires concentration. If you miss an earlier point, the rest makes little sense. I re-read the book slowly this time instead of skimming as I tend to and find the story original and interesting. I would recommend it to those who find science in a sci-fi setting interesting. Original review: I bought this because I really enjoyed The Martian, which was a compulsive page turner. The science was interesting because it was related to the hero’s survival. This book, however, is sci-fi without the tension and adventure. It began well. Then came chapters and chapters detailing scientific research into preventing the end of the world as every single nation cooperated to the point of where the woman in charge of the rescue mission has the clout to commandeer a Chinese aircraft carrier. I sort of lost interest at that point.

Historia
When Amos Decker is called to South Florida to investigate a double homicide, the case appears straightforward: A federal judge and her bodyguard have been found dead, the judge’s face sporting a blindfold with two eye holes crudely cut out, a clear sign that she’d made one too many enemies over her years on the bench. What at first seems cut and dry is anything but: Not only did the judge have more enemies than Decker can count—from violent gang members, drug dealers, and smugglers to a resentful ex-husband—but the bodyguard presents additional conundrums that muddy the waters even further.

Engaging plot, great narration
Revisado: 01-14-25
Another riveting tale from Baldacci. But it’s the narration that is particularly outstanding - especially the very moving and heartfelt rendition of Decker’s partner calling him just before her suicide.

Keystone cops
Revisado: 12-21-24
An unbelievably bumbling investigation by a detective prone to jumping to conclusions, generally acting impetuously and arresting a woman for a murder that never happened while his team act as though they are motivated by teenage hormones rather than by any interest in solving murders.

Really enjoyable
Revisado: 12-05-24
As an avid reader of whodunnits, I’ve gone through too many good and bad stories to be easily impressed. But Peter Grainger is really worth reading. The plots are interesting and the characters come to life. The narration is excellent. I listen to it time and again even though I know the ending because it’s the classic good tale, well told. Don’t miss it.

Superman with angst
Revisado: 11-25-24
This would work as the backbone for a TV series or a comic book. But a novel lacks the visual gimmicks of cinema and relies on words and ingenuous plots for suspense. The Silencer is little more than short stories of Superman busting criminals in the act. That allowed the romantic angle to dominate the story. But our Superman comes across as a teenager agonising over whether to start a new relationship. The ending promises a move away from the angst to more action. The next in the series is worth reading if there is less kiss kiss and more bang bang.
