Historia
Defense attorney Mickey Haller is back, taking the long shot cases, where the chances of winning are one in a million. He agrees to represent a woman in prison for killing her husband, a sheriff’s deputy. Despite her conviction four years earlier, she still maintains her innocence. Haller enlists his half brother, retired LAPD Detective Harry Bosch, as investigator. Reviewing the case, Bosch sees something that doesn’t add up, and a sheriff’s department intent on bringing a quick search for justice in the killing of one of its own.

Yet Another Excellent Connelly Read!
Revisado: 11-16-23
Great story line - as usual! Combining the contrasting Bosh and Haller characters was done perfectly - like going to a Brady v Manning game. But what I appreciated the most was the narration: Peter Giles sells the story; Titus Welliver IS Harry Bosch, and adding the 3rd voice (Christine Larkin) is an Audible game changer.
Mike, my BFF, you are a magician. The seamless way you mix a compelling story line with fascinating (and believable) character development and just the right amount of technical lawyer/cop details keeps me in the story from start to finish.
And in the process, convinces me (again) that I will never make it in the big leagues as a novelist.
Bravo!

Historia
Buried within the black ops budgets of the Department of Defense, a new spy agency has been created. Unfettered by the oversight of self-serving politicians, it reports only to a secret panel of military insiders. Its job is to target Americas enemies - both foreign and domestic - under a charter of three simple words: Find, Fix, and Finish.

SH voice did not play to my image of the real SH.
Some scenarios were unrealistic - Troll viciously whacks woman’s head repeatedly (10x?) with crow bar (did we really need to hear each whack), merely drawing groans and blood trickles. 2 whacks kill - DRT).

Historia
Winter comes early to the rural native community of Stone Cross, Alaska - and so does hunting season. Caribou and moose are a major source of food through the long, dark months ahead. But Arliss Cutter has come here for a very different game. A federal judge is receiving death threats and refuses protection. Cutter and his deputy Lola Teariki have been assigned to shadow him on his trip to this icy outland to make sure that he's safe. But they quickly discover that no one is ever really safe in a place like this. And no one is above suspicion....

Best Arlis Cutter story yet

Cameron masterfully pens an incredible tale, and Chandler gives it voice, life and, yes, credibility.

Greaney Strikes Gold!
Revisado: 06-27-23
MG, as usual, delivered a compelling story. Narrator Adam Gold (don’t remember him) was strong. Handled most of the many character voices smoothly. Particularly liked his just-right tenor changes for the wildly varying dramas - cool steady macho narcos, frantic under-fire operators, desperate cornered and outnumbered good guys and several female characters believably strong in different ways under extreme pressure.
Did I say I really liked the story and the narration?

One messy, tangled case that can shatter a career. Turn a lawman into a renegade. And make him question words like honor, valor, and duty. For Jack Reacher, this is that case.

Good book but.......

Excellent portrait of the Jack Reacher I have known for a long, long time.
Revisado: 06-02-23
Vintage Reacher. Typical Lee Child mystery, with plenty of fascinating deep-dive details - yet never distracting from the twisting and riveting story line.
Dick Hill performed well. But his voice pitch, while dramatic and with perfect inflection, doesn’t exactly match the Reacher voice in my mind.

Solid J Quinn storyline, but…
Revisado: 05-18-23
Too many key characters from too many different countries, alternately referencing first and last names. Challenging to follow who’s who. And enough already with the exaggerated and maniacal antagonists spewing way too much grossly sadistic dialog for my likings. Some subtlety would help.
That said, Jericho was as expected - resourseful, irreverent and John Wayne simplistically courageous. Enjoyed Peru, Bolivia jungle realism. Underlying theme of mass destruction believable with just enough technical details to enhance this reader’s understanding of helicopter piloting and nuclear fusion. Enjoyed the read. Some voices were over baked and just plain weird.

A string of high-level jewel heists up and down the Pacific Coast Highway has gone unsolved for years, mostly because the perpetrator has lived by a strict code he calls “Crime 101”.

Winslow at his best
Revisado: 02-18-23
Short and very very sweet, with a delicious finale dessert. Porter delivers the perfect voice. Loved the timely McQueen/101 segues. Winslow will surely be an excellent novelist once he expands his talents beyond novellas.
No wait! He’s already done that. My bad.

007 Reborn. Really!
Revisado: 10-07-22
For starts, an amazing surprise! Discovering a James Bond “prequel”, neatly tucked behind the headline author, Horowitz, one of my favorites.
Story line: classically British, Bondish, and smoothly merged with Flemming’s first novel.
Narration: excellent, if not perfect. French, English. American and Corsican accents carried the day.
Probably a capturing read; certainly a binge-worthy listen.
Well done, Anthony Horowitz and Mathew Goode!
