Historia
One late fall Sunday in southern Minnesota, a farmer brings a load of soybeans to a local grain elevator - and a young man hits him on the head with a steel bar, drops him into the grain bin, waits until he's sure he's dead, and then calls the sheriff to report the "accident." Suspicious, the sheriff calls in Virgil Flowers, who quickly breaks the kid down...and the next day the boy's found hanging in his cell. Remorse? Virgil isn't so sure....

Historia
Virgil Flowers kicked around for a while before joining the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. First it was the army and the military police, then the police in St. Paul, and finally Lucas Davenport brought him into the BCA, promising him, "We'll only give you the hard stuff." He's been doing the hard stuff for three years now, but never anything like this.

A Great Narrator
Revisado: 02-12-19
Fantastic narrator! I love the he reads with the right amount of inflection and doesn't need to change is voice to make the characters come alive. No weird female voices.

"Most Wanted" Main Character Lacking
Revisado: 09-05-16
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
I did enjoy the book. I listen to books while driving. I found the characters frustrating though.
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
Kind of predictable.
Which scene was your favorite?
None
Could you see Most Wanted being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
I suppose that it could. I have no suggestions for a cast.
Any additional comments?
The main character for someone who was educated acted naively and in a manner that I could not imagine a reasonable thinking person would. I found her to be most annoying and frustrating.

Good Book....Poor Narrator
Revisado: 12-20-14
Would you listen to Breach of Power again? Why?
No...I would read it though. Narrator was terrible. Very flat and droning, boring, ruined the a good book. He put me to sleep which is not good when you are driving.

Historia
After working one of the worst mass killings in U.S. history, Scarpetta returns home to Cambridge, Massachusetts. Exhausted and ill, she's recovering at home when she receives an unsettling call. The body of a young woman has been discovered on the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's rugby field. The victim, a graduate student named Gail Shipman, is oddly draped in ivory linen and posed in a way that is too deliberate to be the killer's first strike.

Audible Version Needs a Different Narrator
Revisado: 02-02-14
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
I'm not sure... I like the story as I have enjoyed all of the "Kay Sarpetta" stories but the narrator is annoying. Her voice is just droning with too many upward inflections. And PLEASE! Leave the male voices to the men and that goes for females as well.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Dust?
Don't have any
What didn’t you like about Kate Reading’s performance?

Do you think Dust needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

Historia
Thousands of people have had near-death experiences, but scientists have argued that they are impossible. Dr. Eben Alexander was one of those scientists. Neurosurgeon Alexander knew that NDEs feel real, but are simply fantasies produced by brains under extreme stress. Then, Dr. Alexander’s own brain was attacked by a rare illness. The part of the brain that controls thought and emotion shut down completely. For seven days he lay in a coma. Then Alexander’s eyes popped open. He had come back. Alexander’s recovery is a medical miracle. But the real miracle of his story lies elsewhere.

Historia
Given the importance of what they do, and the controversies that often surround them, and the violent people they sometimes confront, it is remarkable that in the history of this country only four active federal judges have been murdered. Judge Raymond Fawcett has just become number five.... Nothing is as it seems and everything’s fair game in this wickedly clever new novel from John Grisham, the undisputed master of the legal thriller.

Boston Accent????
Revisado: 04-28-13
Would you try another book from Tess Gerritsen and/or Tanya Eby?
I have read several of Tess G's books and enjoyed them. "Last to Die" was ok. Story was not quite believable and the narrator was just awful...My suggestion is just read the book and leave the accents to the locals. I am from SE Mass. and listening to the narrator trying to do a Boston accent was painful. She came out sounding like she was from Brooklyn NY.
Would you be willing to try another book from Tess Gerritsen? Why or why not?
Yes, usually her stories are very good.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
Horrible accents and the voices of men....awful. Please just read the book or get more than one narrator if you want more character definition.
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
Most likely.
