The Martini Club... my favorite retirees!

Revisado: 04-21-25

I really enjoyed the first book, but didn't like this one quite as much. I think it was the narrator, who sometimes struck me as too dramatic, but not in a mystery/action way. Her style highlighted details that made it seem like this series is starting to turn into a cosy. I hope not, because I live the idea of retired spies solving crimes.

Another fun listen, but narration is distracting

Revisado: 01-20-25

Private is a fun series, but this time Jack seems to be off his game, walking into a lot of traps. Still, I enjoyed it but found the narrators to be a bit distracting and the Russian accent was cheesy and unnecessary. .

Great story, but bogs down in detail

Revisado: 09-18-24

This should be a page turner, but it drags on and the pace is slow because of unnecessary details. Do we need to know what a school uniform looked like? The judge or prosecutor's hair? There is a lot of time spent on things that have no bearing on the story and turn a great tale into a bit of a slog.

Full of twists and turns, it will keep you guessing

Revisado: 08-23-24

This book grabbed hold of me and wouldn't let go. Just when you think Danny is out of the woods, there's another twist. Great plot, well narrated. Don't start it if you don't have time to stay with it, because you won't be able to stop listening.

Another great read by Crais! Lots of twists and turns with a new character.

I loved this one. It was never predictable, and the main character was believable. Lots of tough choices to be made... this one will definitely pull you in and keep you guessing.

Classic whodunit fun

Revisado: 07-14-24

If you enjoy a classic English country house murder, this is for you. Perfectly narrated with all the required ingredients (except a locked room). Lots of fun and a great way to relax, but not so obvious that you'll figure the whole thing out.

Another great DC Smith mystery

Revisado: 07-12-24

If you like fast paced action, this isn't your series. If you enjoy interesting characters, thinking detectives, plots that build and build with a dash of humor on the way, visit King's Lake. My disappointment in DC's retirement is made better by the fact that there will be 2 series to follow and I'll be visiting King's Lake for a while. Perfectly narrated as always.

Another fun ride!

Revisado: 06-25-24

Is the plot the least bit realistic? Nope. And do I care? Nope. Stone Barrington and his friends are becoming favorites of mine... good fun, expertly narrated. Pure entertainment and I'll be back for more.

Good plot, but writing style is distracting

Revisado: 06-18-24

I was excited for this book and I enjoyed the plot. That said, I found the writing to be distracting. It was far too descriptive for a thriller. Do we need to know the details of the upholstery or room decor especially when a character has been tortured? Do we need minute details of jewelry and clothing? Do bodies need to be described as taut? Maybe the goal is to appeal to a female audience, but as a woman I found it to be distracting. I'm sure the narrator was following direction, but her style just highlighted the disconnect and I found myself wondering if she usually narrates romances.
