You need to wait for it.

Revisado: 03-10-25

It reads slow. Well, it starts slow. Really slow. Matter of fact I almost returned it. But I’m such a fan of Grisham I hung in there.

It took a while but worth the wait. AND he left it where there really could be a sequel.

Always kept me guessing!

Revisado: 08-26-22

This is by far the very best of Tana French. Yes, I enjoyed all of the Murder Squad books. But this one just has something special. It moves quickly, in ways you don't expect. More like a roller coaster, it takes you up then shoots you down, as you think you've got the whole thing figured out. Kept me guessing until the end.

Ease into it, you will become attached

Revisado: 08-05-22

I passed over this book more than a few times. But when the movie came out, and my friends started talking about how good the movie was, and how closely it followed the book, I decided there might be something worth listening to here. So very true.

It took a bit for me to settle into it, as it bounced back and forth in time. Once I got the hang of that, it flowed great. It is definitely worth a listen.

Enjoy!

Underdelivered

Revisado: 06-30-22

Don't go into this expecting the typical James Patterson novel. Matter of fact, don't go into this expecting a true representation of world-class show jumping.

Maybe I'm spoiled by other authors who take deep dives into the subject they set out to write about, and get the majority of facts correct. Even so, this one is so far off base it's not even funny.

Truly this should be marketed as a young adult book, as there is absolutely nothing remotely similar to the books penned by Mr. Patterson. Nothing. I was disappointed by that of course. But not nearly as disappointed as I was from the lack of knowledge of the world of show jumping.

It was an ordeal to get thru this reading, the narrator was mind-numbingly boring, the plot far too predictable, and of course the stream of incorrect information. I should have returned it.

Sister at her finest!

Revisado: 06-10-22

Ms. Brown has another winner in the "Sister" series. I just wish she would write them at a faster rate!! The plot in this series is about the current time, so it's far easier to identify, and much more fun!

If you haven't read any part of this series it's time to give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

Way too much

Revisado: 05-30-22

This wasn't a case I was familiar with, so I was excited to listen to it. Just way too much info that wasn't necessary. Really, this could have been an 8 or 9-hour listen easy.

The young lady doing the reading was ok but could not do voices, so all of them more or less sounded the same.

Way too much repetition as well.

Worth the listen, maybe, if you are a very patient person.

Worth it, I think

Revisado: 03-20-22

I have loved all the other Franki Amato books. But this one left me, well, not quite satisfied. There was far too much Italian used, without the translations, and I don't speak that language. The storyline was ok, sure. And the narrator is always great, using all the different voices. But I had to go back and repeat sections, because of the usage of Italian. Just so I would understand what was going on.

Great listen!

Revisado: 07-22-21

I think this is the best (so far) of the Murder Squad books by Tana French. The twists & turns, the mysteries, it kept me guessing almost to the end. Very good listen!

Serge always delivers!

Revisado: 06-16-21

Let's face it, I need more Serge! Truly, Mr. Dorsey needs to write faster, to keep up with demand.

Serge at his best, as always. Running down his ancestors, while staying ahead of the authorities, and taking out the really bad guys on the way!

Fast-paced, rollicking great listen!

New favorite PI~

Revisado: 07-25-20

I love Sara Booth Delaney, and now I have Franki Amato to add to my PI list! The box set gave me a big dose of Franki, and all her friends & family, and it was such a treat. Now, I'm hooked and will read all of them!
