Super thief Riley Wolfe can do it all. He is a master of disguise, can scale a wall, and can vanish into thin air (thick air, too). He uses these unique talents to rob the richest. But this time, it’s the most powerful who have him in their grips.

Another fantastic story by Jeff Lindsay. I loved the Dexter series. Riley Wolf is equally riveting.

Trenton, New Jersey’s favorite used-car dealer, Jimmy Poletti, was caught selling a lot more than used cars out of his dealerships. Now he’s out on bail and has missed his date in court, and bounty hunter Stephanie Plum is looking to bring him in. Leads are quickly turning into dead ends, and all too frequently into dead bodies. Even Joe Morelli, the city’s hottest cop, is struggling to find a clue to the suspected killer’s whereabouts. These are desperate times, and they call for desperate measures.

Stagnant Stephanie - Plodding Plot - Not great

Boring!
Revisado: 09-02-14
What could Janet Evanovich have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Janet needs to expand her characters. This book recycles the same plot lines, gags, and ineptitudes as the previous twenty books. They were funny the first ten books, but lets move on already!
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Disappointment. I stopped listening half way through. I didn't finish for almost two months.
Any additional comments?
This is the last Janet Evanovich I'll be buying. I'll get them free at the library or not at all. Complete waste of money.

Loved it

First time Henry James reader. Not impressed.
Revisado: 04-27-14
What disappointed you about The Portrait of a Lady (Classic Serial)?
I found the female characters to be a little slow and overall ridiculous. The men were mostly portrayed as either abusive or love sick to the point of ignorance.
What was most disappointing about Henry James and Rachel Joyce (dramatisation) ’s story?
The lack of a definitive plot line. It seemed to meander about with no place to go.
Did the narrators do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?
Mostly.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
Not that I could tell. As a historical novel, it was sadly short of the writings of Jane Austin.

Anonymity. Trust. Professionalism. In his world, Jonathan Quinn has a few rules. He'll get rid of bodies that have to disappear; nothing ever gets traced back to him. But when Quinn is called to a busy Los Angeles port where a shipping container has just come in from the sea, it's clear his rules have been violated. Inside the crate is a dead man - a man who once saved Quinn's life.

Would benefit from a new narrator
Revisado: 04-27-14
Would you try another book from Brett Battles and/or William Dufris?
Probably not
Would you be willing to try another book from Brett Battles? Why or why not?
Yes. If it had another narrator.
Would you be willing to try another one of William Dufris’s performances?
No. Mr. Dufris's interpretation of the characters made them all come across as either whining or peevish. Very annoying to listen to.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
The plot line was a little confusing, but it worked itself out in the end. Following along was made more difficult because of the irritating narration.

Reacher is hitching through the heat of West Texas and getting desperate for a ride. The last thing he's worried about is exactly who picks him up.
She's called Carmen. She's a good-looking young woman, she has a beautiful little girl...and she has married into the wrong family. They're called the Greers. They're a bitter and miserly clan, and they've made her life a living hell. Worse, her monster of a husband is soon due out of prison. So she needs protection, and she needs it now.
Lawyers can't help. Cops can't be trusted. So Reacher goes home with her to the lonely ranch where nothing is as it seems, and where evil swirls around them like dust in a storm. Within days, Carmen's husband is dead - and simmering secrets send Echo, Texas, up in flames.

The Worst Jack Reacher Ever!
- De S. Craig en 05-06-09
Couldn't even finish it.
Revisado: 02-07-14
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
Someone who has never been to Texas
What was most disappointing about Lee Child’s story?
The overall impression that anyone with a southern accent is ignorant and violent
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Dick Hill?
The narrator was fine.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Echo Burning?
Woman proclaiming Reacher wouldn't murder her white husband for her because she was Hispanic and that made him a racist.
Any additional comments?
The most disappointing Lee Child book I've ever read.
