A tepid mess

This was a bland stew of a triller-a pharaoh’s curse, a nuclear bomb, the mafia and CIA, oriental mysticism, evil Russians and an anemic love story—all told without conviction or heart. The narrator, however, actually sung Puccini rather well at one point, so I’ll give him high marks for that.

Wooden and contrived. The plot was phoned in. I’ve loved Reacher over the years. How has he now managed to become boring—no thrills, no dramatic tension, no heart.

A smart, wise-ass hero, exciting, intelligent story, humorous. What more do you need from a thriller?

Paper thin hero and dialogue

Characters are flat, dialogue pedestrian. Every action of the heroes has to be given a tiresome exposition of how much danger, how much courage and how much is at stake. And the cliches—omg—“…up shit creek without a paddle.” Or writing such as, after getting hit in the gut, Trap’s “breath is stolen from his impossibly fit body!” Yuck

Bitch and Marleen and series are back on track with a good legal thriller, after some previous diversions into whacky conspiracies and complicated goofiness. Still love the characters.

Damsel in distress

Revisado: 10-18-23

The plot of this thriller is, as so many any are, improbable. Yet an author can often pull it off if the characters are engaging. But the proverbial damsel-in-distress is so utterly annoying and complaining and downright stupid, that it is obvious she will be her own worst enemy, nearly getting herself and those around her killed by not submitting to the sage advice of the hero, Joe Pike. Irritating read.

Another ridiculous serial killer story

Revisado: 06-05-23

No mystery, gratuitous gore and an implausible, contradictory story line. The serial killer calls his sister in law over and over to tell her about the murders, she dates a lead investigator in the murders, and for ridiculous reasons, she doesn’t pass along info. Sister in law, journalist, somehow doesn’t make connection to all murders she is connected to. Nobody makes any of the obvious connections. Gets dumber and nastier as the clown show tale wanders to its inevitable climax. Waste.Of.Time.

A comically idiotic conspiracy combined with annoying dialogue and cutout characters. I usually give some credit to audio performers for at least making a bad book listenable, but there was no help for this one.

Best book I’ve listened to in a couple of years. Entertaining , with a wonderfully heroic central character. ❤️

Winslow is just a great storyteller, making you root for, and care about, seriously flawed characters.
