Well written and entertaining

Revisado: 04-10-21

There isn't anything in the story that stands out when compared with similar titles, but I don't get the feeling that it was intended to. It was written well and held a good pace. The narration was solid and added to the story. This was my first introduction to Jan Stryvant's work, but I'm now going to start the Valens series in hopes of more quality stories.

Brilliant

This is everything I've come to expect from Richard Ayoade. I can't recommend it enough.

Very informative.

Revisado: 11-22-19

The book broke down a lot of the basics of law enforcement in a comprehensive and enjoyable manner. The author's anecdotes could serve as valuable additions to creating a three-dimensional character and give life to the department. I'm eagerly awaiting the second book.

It could have been a great short story.

Revisado: 08-22-19

With many things to love with this book, I almost hated it. The story was good and the characters were enjoyable, but there was so much showing exactly the same thing we already had chapters of. You can only hammer a nail so much before the entire house is a big pile of rubble. That largely happened here.

Was the narrator bored?

This is a fascinating story that was done a great disservice by the narrator chosen.

Not worth the time or money

Revisado: 12-11-18

This seemed interesting, but quickly devolved into nothing more than an empty conspiracy theory that pulls from any source that seems to support it, but ignores any and all attempts to substantiate anything. To make it worse, the narration presents it in a way that makes it uninteresting to listen to.

Phenomenal, but not for a first time exposure.

Revisado: 08-03-18

The author is amazing and the narrators bring the characters to life, but it is too much of a great thing. The story has a lot of depth that gets confused by the skillful production. I think that it would be one of the best audiobooks for somebody already familiar with the book.

A case lost at the start

Revisado: 07-27-18

The author asks the listener to act as an objective jurist as he "investigates" the evidence, but immediately accepts admitted hearsay from admittedly anonymous sources and uses that basis for every other point to both branch from and rely on. I suggest listening to "The Case Against the Case for Christ" in parallel with this selection.

A good point-by-point rebuttal

Revisado: 07-27-18

The narration was lacking, but I don't hold that against a scholarly text that is read by the author. I went through this in parallel with the source material that it refutes and suggest that approach.

Definitely not Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's work.

Revisado: 05-19-18

This was an attempt to present new Holmes stories, but failed in providing the natural flow apparent in the original tales.
