Historia
The Earl of St. Merryn needs a woman. His intentions are purely practical - he simply wants someone sensible and suitably lovely to pose as his betrothed for a few weeks among polite society. He has his own agenda to pursue, and a false fiancée will keep the husband-hunters at bay while he goes about his business. The simplest solution is to hire a paid companion. Finding the right candidate proves more of a challenge than he expected.

I loved those two
Revisado: 10-29-23
The main characters were wonderful. I wish they were my friends. It's rare that two unique people work together, they are usually matched with others and have obstacles to being together. You'll have to listen to see if they go separate ways or work it out.

What a disappointment
Revisado: 10-24-23
Boring, unsatisfactory ending, not tied into the plot of The Firm at all. No intrigue, no plot twists no tricks. Kinda preachy about the death penalty when that had nothing to do with the bulk of the story. We never find out who the "bad boys" were. I think John Grisham has lost his touch.

Historia
When Penny Dahl calls the Finders Keepers detective agency, hoping for help locating her missing daughter, Holly Gibney is reluctant to accept the case. Her partner, Pete, has Covid. Her (very complicated) mother has just passed away. And Holly is meant to be on leave. But something in Penny’s desperate voice makes it impossible to turn her down. Meanwhile, mere blocks from where Bonnie Dahl disappeared live Professors Rodney and Emily Harris. But they are also harboring a shocking, unholy secret.

no longer constant
Revisado: 09-24-23
I have been a constant reader since the 80s. I love Holly and was excited to read this book despite the author's Twitter insults. I was disheartened that the bad characters won't wear masks, are MAGA, and die. The good are protected by the vaccine but still need masks for some reason.
Politics can be overlooked, but the narrator should have listened to the Holly that we have all come to know. I didn't recognize her in this portrayal.
The worst aspect of this was that we knew who the killers were the whole time. No great reveal, no surprises, nothing supernatural. We just watched her walk into a spiderweb without any backup when she should have informed her partner & her good friend the cop.

Historia
Change is coming to Sweden’s far north: its untapped natural resources are sparking a gold rush with the criminal underworld leading the charge. But it’s not the prospect of riches that brings Lisbeth Salander to the small town of Gasskas. She has been named guardian to her niece Svala, whose mother has disappeared. Two things soon become clear: Svala is a remarkably gifted teenager—and she’s being watched.

too many coincidences
Revisado: 09-03-23
Too much jumping around between characters and between present and past. How did the brother happen to be working for the bad guys? Really, the wedding and the niece the same weekend in the same town, and then her uncle is living right there the whole time? They go on surveillance together but no discussions of the past? They find the van and then don't tell anyone?

All red state people are bad
Revisado: 12-25-22
it's about a hired killer, but the bad people are everyone who likes Trump and everyone who lives in red states. Like we would vandalize or harm anyone over a bumper sticker. Why haven't half the population been killed? The author is letting his TDS bleed into the books.

Historia
For most of the last hundred years, Biloxi was known for its beaches, resorts, and seafood industry. But it had a darker side. It was also notorious for corruption and vice, everything from gambling, prostitution, bootleg liquor, and drugs to contract killings. The vice was controlled by small cabal of mobsters, many of them rumored to be members of the Dixie Mafia.

Seventeen hours for a lecture
Revisado: 12-07-22
There were no tricks, no bait and switch and none of the legal shenanigans we've come to expect from this author. It's just a straightforward story ending in a lecture about the death penalty. I grew up in Pascagoula and enjoyed hearing about my old stopping grounds but but the surprises I was looking for never came.

Not for me
Revisado: 11-21-21
I might enjoy this more if I actually had some of the background. The premise seemed good and the audio is incredible. I gave it 2 hours and I'm giving up.

The first 2 parts were fine
Revisado: 07-27-21
I agree with many of the other reviewers who did not enjoy part three of the book. In fact I'm not even going to finish it which is a rarity for me. the book should have just ended at part 2.

Historia
More than a year after she helped save the world from the Sparnaxian invasion, Andrea Vernon is in a good place. Her boss is giving her greater responsibility and she’s getting to travel a lot (although her fill-in is hopeless at making coffee); things could be getting even more serious with her 8’ 4” superhero boyfriend, The Big Axe; and she has a really fun new BFF, Never More. Small issue, though, with that last item - Never More is a supervillain bent on world domination, and it looks as if nothing can stop her.

Best closing line ever
Revisado: 05-25-21
The narrator was fantastic. I hated the sound of some of the character's voices, but then again I was supposed to they were villains. The premise of the story is silly but then it all seems like it could be a normal situation.

not really a sci-fi thriller.
Revisado: 12-16-20
This is more of an interpersonal story about two people in solitude and struggling with very important questions. I kept expecting some really cool science or science fantasy and I never got it.
