Starts slow but worth it

Revisado: 07-28-15

Great story after the initial few chapters which feel very random. It all works out to a rather predictable ending but the telling of the story is good and not so dark that you wonder who you are for reading/listening to it in the first place.

Can't get enough of this series

Revisado: 02-10-15

I have become a huge fan of the Nordic mysteries/police thriller/dark action genre. And the Harry Hole series is by far the best. Why more of the series has not been translated and read for audible is beyond me. I have resorted to listening to the same books more than once. I would prefer to be listening to the yet to be translated books, so get with the program Audible!

lyrical mysterious mystery

Revisado: 12-21-12

I can not stop listening to Tana French's books. Each is a mystery, each is told from a detective's perspective, each has a twist to the ending. There the similarity ends. Each story weaves the listener into a world that I didn't want to leave. I had to listen to the books at almost one sitting/listening. I could not put the books down. Much of that also has to be the narrator's expertise. I am hesitant to buy the hardback books as gifts as for me the narrators did such excellent jobs. I rarely write reviews but Tana French and the narrators have won me over. Each is more excellent than the other. The Faithful Place is a heartbreaker but the "good" guys win in the end. That of course depends on who you consider a "good guy".

Simple, complex, subtile, wise. You will be missing a great treat and great performance if you let this one slip by.

The best of reads

Revisado: 06-13-11

Want to know about the beginnings of our intelligence agencies? Want a tight, taunt, well written espionage novel sprinkled with enough real facts, emotional underpinnings and understanding of the complexity of subjects to make a long read worth it? This is THE BOOK. Few books in my life are worth 5 stars. I have read thousands of books. This one gets it in my world.
Don't let the date of publication deter you. History is history. A great espionage novel a great espionage novel. Great novels are rare. Savor it.

Dissapointing yet I listened to the whole thing

Revisado: 06-12-11

This book is like cheap ice cream in the fridge. It's the only thing there. Too late, or too tiresome to get something else.
Trivial, pointless, good trap of characters designed to ensnare romantic women into listening or reading through a plane ride. The kind of book where you leave the book in the pocket in front of you, or some other suitable place, thankful for the diversion, disappointed that nothing was learned other than to not read/listen to another in series unless desperate, or totally depressed and don't want to think.
