Don't let it end like this, Mr. Collins.

Revisado: 01-10-25

Unfortunately, Quarry is rather weak in this last one. Two woman save his ass on different deadly occasions. I didn't like that, and I wished he at least would have shot some villains himself instead of stumbling around and losing in fights his gun all the time. Quarry is 72 in this novel and not 92. So why make him such an old geezer? You have to rectify that, Mister Collins and write another "last one" where he is 73 and is recovered enough to do his killings himself! Please, don't let him die as this helpless old man as he is in this novel. I beg of you! :-)
Since years, I read your Quarry novels over and over again because they are unique, funny and full of great characters and events. I love Quarry. Don't let it end like he is too old to hold his gun in his hand! Please!

Boring, repetetive, not good.

Revisado: 07-11-24

2 hours into the audiobook and I am really irritated. There is a dramatic change in personality of Fern which is not plausible. Then, there is nearly nothing happening. It's all annoying repetition of the first 2 books to fill the pages. The two woman are narrated by one reader, which is unfortunate and doesn't do it for me. I am giving back the audiobook.

Bitch from hell kills one victim after the other.

Revisado: 06-20-24

What a badly written, shallow, silly, awful, unsatisfying book. And the end is a slap in the face and an incredible let down. The good ones die here and the nasty person gets away with it. What a farce and a waste of time.

Ich liebe Paul Cleave. Und das Buch hier auch :-)

Revisado: 06-30-21

Paul Cleave hat zwei meiner absoluten Lieblingsbücher geschrieben: Joe Victim 1 + 2. Viele seiner anderen Bücher gefallen mir auch super. Er hat einen fantastisch schwarzen Humor, und ihm fallen wirklich die dollsten Dinger ein, über die ich mich kaputtlachen könnte.

Neuseeland ist mir völlig fremd. Kenne ich nur aus dem Fernsehen. Aber durch Paul Cleave habe ich das Gefühl, Christchurch zu kennen und seine Bürger, obwohl ich natürlich nie einen Fuß dorthin gesetzt habe. Ein schönes, interessantes Gefühl. Und ich freue mich immer über neue Geschichten, die wir von Paul über Christchurch geliefert bekommen.

Ich bin normalerweise kein großer Fan von Entführungs-oder Vermissten-Romanen. Mich interessiert einfach das Thema nicht. Deshalb habe ich mir erst überlegt, ob ich mir das Hörbuch zulegen soll. Jetzt bin ich aber froh darüber, denn das Schicksal der Hauptperson (Vater von Zach) hat mich sofort gefesselt und interessiert. Ich habe das Hörbuch an einem Tag durchgehört. Paul Cleave ist ein sehr guter Schriftsteller. Ich mag seinen Schreibstil und seine besonderen (und lustig-grausamen) Geschichten.

Der Sprecher ist auch ganz gut, aber ich hätte mir gewünscht, dass er ein größeres Repertoire an diversen Stimmen hätte. Die verschiedenen Personen haben sich alle irgendwie gleich angehört. Aber dennoch hat er einen guten Job gemacht.

Lame, unenthusiastic narration

Revisado: 02-11-20

Same voice for every character, even for woman.
Same intonation and speed in action scenes. What should be read more dramatically, faster and with a strong voice and intonation, the narrator reads this scenes like a instruction manual.

This was getting on my nerves extremely. Spoiled it all.

Poor writing! The cheesiest I have read in my life

Revisado: 02-09-20

DNF. After 1,5 hours of listening I could not bear it anymore.
This "author" has such bad writing skills, never something of her should have been published and narrated. This amateurish writing is stuff for a private blogg. But never should one have to pay for such a dilettantish thing.

I am really upset.

He did it again

Gregg Hurwitz has written another superbe Orphan X novel.
What a great book!

The only thing I am not so happy with: Scott Brick is reading every female like an old crow.

Simple, predictable, cockamamie. TEDIOUS

Revisado: 12-06-19

Too simple in pretty much every aspect.
(Really? Taking away the gun of a game warden and not getting punished for it? And the game warden is becoming laughed at by the whole County that the villain stuck the gun in his face?)

I hated the spouse by the way and her awful mother. What a bunch of shallow people.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this one!

Revisado: 11-19-19

This one is another superbe Quarry novel.
It was nice to hear how all began. And Stephan Rudnicki narrates the series absolutely perfect.

Hopefully, Max Allan Collins continues with the series.

I love Nelson Demille's books - but not this one.

Revisado: 11-18-19

I gave up after Chapter 17. What a tedious and irritating read.

I hate every word this woman "Maggie Taylor" says. She thinks obviously, she is the shit und criticises every word and doing of her boss Brody. This gets old very quickly, and I got really upset about her bitching all the time.

And I am tired of Scott Bricks reading. He is not able to read woman voices, and I did some time not know who is speaking.

Sorry, Nelson Demille. I cannot give a good rating for this book. I am very disappointed
