A knock off of the girl with the dragon tattoo

Revisado: 03-04-25

Graphically, violent, sometimes genuinely disturbing, the heroin part of the story was a little thin. Obviously an important topic and terrifying cultural phenomenon, but this novel made me a little bit uneasy in the way it approached the subject matter.

Great! Violent, but great!

Revisado: 09-10-24

This story really clicked. Moved quickly, found a few original themes.... Not a "hollywood ending", for sure. I have to understand why the narrator doesn't pronounce Fayetteville the way we do in NC. He pronounces it in the traditional French, as in Marquis de Lafayette. Regionally, as any SOTF operator would know, it's pronounced FAY-IT-VILLE. LOL

As unoriginal and predictable as it gets.

Revisado: 05-21-24

The lack of originality. Then layer on very mediocre arguably poor narration, layered with predictability, and you get a boring mess of a story. This is easily the worst of the entire series.

Our thanks will never be enough

Like Blackhawk down, this should be required reading in every high school in America. Thank you.

Slow

Revisado: 03-16-24

Seven hours in and I gave up. Story was just taking too long, and too frustrated to continue.  OK narration but considering how many of the characters are men it makes me wonder why they didn’t try using a man to narrate this.

Over the top - Almost MacGyver-esque

Revisado: 02-05-24

I listened to Greaney's Gun Metal Gray first, then decided to give the series a try. It's clear his writing improved since this first book. Don't ever let Jay Snyder try to mimic a South African accent. Ho-boy, he went from S. African-ish, to Irish, then Scottish in the span of three sentences. Distracting? Um, yeah. Otherwise, besides the casual racist comment woven into the story, this is a "silly romp" that isn't deep on anything, but entertaining (mostly).

Definition of tedius - Really poor narration

Revisado: 12-24-23

Have you ever met someone who talked way too much, taking 100 words to say something that could be expressed in 10? That's this writer. I actually started fast forwarding 30 seconds at a time only to find I hadn't missed anything. The juice is definitely not worth the squeeze! Layer on the extremely weak narration - it's not worth trying. I find it odd how someone approved her to voice so many male voices when she is clearly incapable of doing this.

Fun! The writing style reminds me of The Short Drop

Revisado: 06-07-23

Great short story! Interesting idea regarding afterlife, and the sudden mundaneness of death. Not to mention, the consequences of exploiting a miracle. I’d like the gritty nature of the story, reminds me of old school gumshoe fiction.

Fun, at first

Revisado: 01-24-23

Initially, I found these stories to be quite engaging and interesting from a historical perspective. However, they become very repetitive very quickly. The same outcome every time. Someone knows where treasure is, someone forgets where the treasure is, someone finds a map, someone can’t find the treasure, even though they know where the treasure is supposed to be. And so on…

Not his best, went off the rails

Revisado: 12-12-22

Big fan of the author’s commitment to detail and deep character development. This book is no different, but I started rolling my eyes in the 2nd half of the book. Suspension of disbelief flew out the window like one of his ravens.
