Historia
When a badly burned body is found near the remote Ardnamurchan Lighthouse on the west coast of Scotland, it feels like just another day on the job for DCI Jack Logan and his team. But the victim’s list of enemies, including a diminutive loan shark and a powerful local politician, is far longer than Jack was prepared for. And don’t even get him started on the magic psychic sex cult.

Critical Story Error
Revisado: 03-04-25
Come on!! The author made a huge and critical error in the continuity of the series. in 'Coler than the Grave' the author tells us that the ancient coroner,Ricket, is the original ICE MAN during the conclusion of the story. Further, Ricket is charged with the murder of a police officer and is awaiting trail. However, in this bookRicket is back on the job, filling in until another coroner is hired, AND further, there is no mention of 'out on bail and awaiting trail' shen the author mentions him in this story, as though Rickets' capture was not noteworthy. not good.

Dawson continues great writing, but this is more like a novella!!
Revisado: 01-04-25
I thoroughly enjoy enjoy Dawson's writing. It's engaging, an unfolding drama with intrique, peppered with treks across desert planes and busy urban settings and war-torn villages. Beatrix does all fighting her own battle with cancer, being a mother and seasoned killer, and performing her murderous exercises, aided by OXY AND BOOZE. BUT THE BOOK IS MORE A NOVELA AND PAYING THE Audible full price leaves the reader wanting a more detailed and lengthy book. Naration was spot on making the characters come alive and fueling the drama with great energy. I'll give book two a run but N it''s the same shirt story length. sigh.

Historia
John Milton has started to hope that he might have a future. He has a job driving a taxi around the streets of San Francisco. He has his anonymity and his solitude. Being invisible has become a comfortable habit. He doesn't want to be found. But when a girl he drives to a party goes missing, Milton is worried. Especially when two dead bodies are discovered, and the police start treating him as their prime suspect. Milton is a fugitive from the British Secret Service, and a man in his position needs extra attention like he needs a hole in the head.

See, Drugs, and RickNRoll
Revisado: 08-18-24
Dawson picked a old theme this time - sex, drugs, and rock N roll. MILTON is CONFRONTED by high-end, highly paid call girls, filthy rich corporate tyoes, politicans, and long-haired biker boys, who party with music pounding, a drug-bar of highs (cocooned, pot, ecstacy and heroin), and alcohol. These same elements threaten to fracture a US Govenor's intentions for a run a successful Presidential campaign. Milton, an ice delivery man by day and an independent pre-Uber taxi driver by night, has settled, almost too nicely, into a new life in foggy San Francisco. Attraction, without drugs or booze, flares for him. Can Milton resist the call to help others, only to ignorie the good life he dares to buikt? Once again, "doing the right thing" rears it's head as a means to make amends for his days as a bloody, government assasin. Who lives, who dies, and what destruction will follow behind Milton? Will the group find him again before he fades into the fog?? Dawson lays out the plot and Thorpe tells the tale.

Magical Multon Scoffs at Cartel and Group 15
Revisado: 08-16-24
What's a good cook to do when the Cartelle comes roaring into the resturant and shoots up the place, killing innocents? One good cop assists in the firefight, but one bent cop takes off. Of course, Milton, aka, Smith, adopts a stealthy-assasin creep and crawl out of the furnace-hot kitchen. Shirtless, he brings just a knife (or two) to confront one of the 4 murderous miller's. Though he wants to make penance for the 100+ lives he ended as an assasin, John has a god complex, thinking he alone can overthrow a drug lord and his Castelle. When Group 15 finds him, well, it's more trouble than even MILTON bargained for. Another wild, blood-drippong story. Lloved it. Great narration Mr. Thoroe, but practice those women's voices.

Ziggy Getting Sloppy, Milton Slows Down, & Dawson Needs to Get Russian Tundra BIOLOGY Right
Revisado: 08-05-24
Always enjoy Dawson's ability to spin a tale and Thorps narration does a great job of capturing most of the charaters' voices, but female voices were of the mark, Maria and Kara as examples. The thugs voices ring true tho. Dawson's tale jumps across thousands of miles, numerous countries, and leaves the reader hanging that he might be caught or Killed by a rogue Group 15 character intent on shutting him up. Milton shows us that he's still got it packing a punch, head butt, and worming his way out of two car crashes. Yet the final moments had me worried he might not escape the clothes of one groups attemp to bring him barm.... We'll done DAWSON.

Story too short, good listen tho
Revisado: 07-31-24
Dawson's craft is typically very good, as is Thorpe's narration. Milton, remarkably, didn't get the woman in this tale. He's slow to see the kind of depravity with someone he had worked before. Others around him are beginning to show a heart that they had tossed aside for the want of job, security, and as always, a bigger pay slip, mirroring the lives of many among us. Looking forward to the next big tale and where Milton's new "legend" will take him.

Too BAD, To SAD
Revisado: 07-11-24
The story as ever is a good one, well researched, seemingly accurate references to Tokyo subways, parks, resturant areas, and some old customs. The writingl of the tale was great, however, I'm really disappointed that yet again, Milton
has acted the CAD, one more time, The use justified by "helpkng ber", but the simple truth is, MILTON, in hisn late middle age, can't really open his heart, give of himself, and truly love someone., not even a little boy. if he can step away from the booze, he needs to leave younger women alone. Yes, bullets can kill, but men who cherish their own freedom more than a relationship, can kill a soul just as surely. we'll done narration. LEEAVE the girls alone you old wanker!!

Dawxon's Napping with Story Continuety and some Facts
Revisado: 06-24-24
I generally love Dawson's Milton novels, but Sleepers didn't bring it for me.
The novel/writer doesn't explain how main character John Milton has magically returned to the Group after quite a few novels, over quite a few years, had hin in Alcoholics Anonomous and ditching his alcoholic backouts and violent assassin duties, in favor of sobriety, giving back, and living simply. Sleepers has him drinking, blowing a job, and hallucinating wildly again.
Also, even in 2018, when Sleepers was written, no foreigner, especially a few dark-world British assassin spys were allowed to wander freely in Russia. Photographers off to see the sights, not happening.
And, someone fleeing from numerous murders would not easily get a rental car, much kess drive 12 hr to catch on a ferry to Japan. Suspending reality is fine, but Sleepers trips over it!! NARRATOR saves the day though. David Thorpe's familiar voice(s), strong, deep voice, flexibility, and vocal expressions have made the JOHN MILTON series/novels come to life. Looking forward to the next novel.

No Torture, PLEASE
Revisado: 06-07-24
I thoroughly enjoy the swashbuckling, big swings across continents, intrique of finding the dark underbelly places and people that Dawson spins. but the description of the torture equipment and it's application to Hitch, I had to skip ahead in the story, I just couldn't or didn't want to imagine that particular punishment. as always the narration was excellent, I LOVE the consistent use of the same narrator through most of the books I've heard to date. Dawson is not a boring story writer. I've appreciated the different phases of life he has led JOHN MILTON through, but once a man of violence, MILTON seems always to be that man. a novel of a retired, settled, married with kids MILTON wouldn't be quite the same read.

Jane Casey amazes me!
Revisado: 05-16-24
Casey has written one of her best works, She never ceases to amaze me. She has orchestrated a work of art that teases us to follow her clues to find the killer and the truth of the matter of an undying love. Casey builds uncertainty, frustration, longing, strength, and old fashioned wit in her latest drama. Detective Maeve Kerrigan blunders into a trap and barely defies a brutal death only by the last kind act of a dying woman, herself a twwisted murderer. A tortured Josh drives madly across rural England to find, first his friend, and then, himself. Casey's tradecraft is stunning, so much so, we go back to revisit some parts because they were so good. I love her writing, the characters seem real enough to draw mee in to care about their successes and sadness. I'm only disappointed that I have to bloody wait for another Maeve and Josh larger than life thriller.
