Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 108
A woman lies dead, shot and bleeding. Behind her body stands a large old manor house, her house, and now her son's. She ran the rural estate as a minor fiefdom, all had to subjugate themselves to her will, or they were put out of their homes and ejected from the community. Lady Compton was hated, nobody mourned her passing, but her murder brought suspicion and dismay to the closely allied village, and it brought the police into their midst.

Characters were stereotypes with little interest. Predictable storyline. I wasted a credit on this one.

A woman is found murdered in her bathtub, and the murder has been made to look like a suicide. But a strange symbol found at the crime scene leads the local police to call Commissaire Adamsberg and his team. When the symbol is found near the body of a second disguised suicide, a pattern begins to emerge: Both victims were part of a disastrous expedition to Iceland over 10 years ago where a group of tourists found themselves trapped on a deserted island.

Too convoluted. Characters weren't good, overall disappointing.
This was my first book by this author and I'm not interested in future books.

Disappointed in the storyline, not quite believable. I had a difficult time finishing this one.

Every day without fail, Travis Devine puts on a cheap suit, grabs his faux-leather briefcase, and boards the 6:20 commuter train to Manhattan, where he works as an entry-level analyst at the city’s most prestigious investment firm. In the mornings, he gazes out the train window at the lavish homes of the uberwealthy, dreaming about joining their ranks. In the evenings, he listens to the fiscal news on his phone, already preparing for the next grueling day in the cutthroat realm of finance. Then one morning Devine’s tedious routine is shattered by an anonymous email: She is dead.

Revisado: 07-31-22
This was the least enjoyable of all his books I’ve read yet. The conclusion wasn’t tied to the story in a convincing way. Seemed like a clumsy attempt to jump on the woke bandwagon.

Before he was the Gray Man, Court Gentry was Sierra Six, the junior member of a CIA action team. In their first mission, they took out a terrorist leader, at a terrible price. Years have passed. The Gray Man is on a simple mission when he sees a ghost: the long-dead terrorist, but he's remarkably energetic for a dead man. A decade of time hasn't changed the Gray Man. He isn't one to leave a job unfinished or a blood debt unpaid.

Revisado: 03-13-22
Just when events were exciting, the tale switched to the other time. I was listening to an audible version. Had it been a book I would have completed one story then the other.

This was a surprise winner, but shouldn't have been since I love all of Charlaine Harris's books. The plot was twisty but solid. I really enjoyed the main character, Gunny Rose. I hope there will be follow on books with her again.

As a chief stewardess on luxury superyachts, I massage egos, pamper the spoiled, and cater to the most outlandish desires of the rich and famous. I've never had a guest want something I can't give them. Until British businessman Hayden Wolf comes aboard - all sexy swagger and mysterious requests. But guests are strictly off limits and I've never broken a rule. Not even bent one. My family are depending on me and I can't lose my job. Only problem is Hayden Wolf is looking at me like I just changed his life. And he's touching me like he's about to change mine.

Too much repetitive narrative with too little substance.

The story was shallow and the characters predictable. Appears to be an attempt at porn with all the sex scenes. Not worth the listen.

This mesmerizing novel tells the story of a brutal murder in the staid Tokyo suburbs, as a young mother who works the night shift making boxed lunches strangles her abusive husband and then seeks the help of her coworkers to dispose of the body and cover up her crime. The coolly intelligent Masako emerges as the plot's ringleader but quickly discovers that this killing is merely the beginning, as it leads to a terrifying foray into the violent underbelly of Japanese society.

What disappointed you about Out?
A bit too dark for me. No character was admirable or even likeable.
What could Natsuo Kirino have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Less darkness.
What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?
Narration was good.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Out?
The ending scene between two main characters was over the top.
Any additional comments?
The storyline didn't hold together
