Totally one sided
Revisado: 12-04-24
The writers have taken examples of terrible situations in the criminal justice system and made them appear to be common occurrences. Since police officers and prosecutors are humans, there will always be unlawful and illegal activity by a few small number of them. To write the different stories in such a way as to imply those actions are the norm is not only misleading but wrong. More should have been said to indicate these actions are not the way the vast majority of people working in the justice system handle their cases.

The world thought Dmitri Melnikov was dead. Especially Quinn. Why would he have believed otherwise, since the bomb intended for Melnikov had nearly killed Quinn and several members of his team? But Melnikov is not dead. He has been taken by someone who wants to shut him up. And the former chess champion isn’t the only one who has been abducted.

Brick was way too emotional as usual for my taste. He should keep it to only when called for.

Brick is always way too emotional in his narration. Everyone talks like they are mad. Great voice but needs to tone it down.

1992. All across the United States respectable, upstanding citizens are showing up dead. These deaths could be accidents, and they don’t appear to be connected—until a fatal fall from a high-floor window attracts some unexpected attention. That attention comes from the secretary of defense. All of a sudden he wants an interagency task force to investigate. And he wants Jack Reacher as the army’s representative. If Reacher gets a result, great. If not, he’s a convenient fall guy.

Dramatic narrator
Revisado: 11-01-23
Brick has a great voice but constantly makes everyone in the book seem so emotional and mean that he loses any authenticity. Not everyone is so aggressive and mean.

Teenage narrator???
Revisado: 02-23-20
The narrator sounded like a deep voice teenager with the “coulD’NT, diDN’T, etc that is so popular with young people. Sounds like there is at least one too many “d”s in those words. He also emphasizes the last syllable of words that have “d”s as part of the first syllable— “wooDEN”. It is such a distraction that some of the enjoyment was lost. Otherwise a good book.

Dave does it again
Revisado: 09-24-12
What made the experience of listening to Creole Belle the most enjoyable?
Dave and Clete are at their best and the backdrop is interesting and exciting. Will Patton is perfect fot all the Cajun lingo and dialects. I hope Burke keeps writing these Robicheaux novels.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Clete is best in this book. He is so reliable it hurts.
Have you listened to any of Will Patton’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Patton is always good. This one is one of his best.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It made me laugh at times and it caused my chest to swell with pride for our peace makers.
