the masterly writing
What did you like best about this story?
I could really relate to the plot
Have you listened to any of George Newbern’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
this was my first
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
sure was.
Any additional comments?
here is a story I could relate to. The anxiety of the father, and mother, the accusations of the neighborhood, Jakes friends, and their observations, I could feel it all. It wrenched at my guts. If you like a story that's human, believable, and makes you feel it, this is for you. Rearden is a great author.

Historia
A bitterly cold night offers up a body turned blue - not frozen, but swinging from a rope in a dank basement. The dead teen seems like a clear case of suicide, but Detective Steve Carella and Lieutenant Peter Byrnes find a few facts out of place, and an autopsy confirms their suspicions. The boy hadn’t hung himself but OD’d on heroin before an unknown companion strung him up to hide the true cause of death.

classic mcbain, can't put it down
Revisado: 07-26-14
What made the experience of listening to The Pusher the most enjoyable?
it's the way mcbain tells the story, with his own unique voice
Who was your favorite character and why?
steve corella. He has a sensitivity other cops wouldn't have. For him to have a deaf girlfriend really speaks highly of his character
Would you listen to another book narrated by Dick Hill?
certainly not. Hill used to be an excellent reader, but the old guy is fading.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
gritty, compelling. g,
Any additional comments?
Dick Hill should retire gracefully. I think he must have had a stroke, he no longer speaks with ease.

What disappointed you about Private: #1 Suspect?

How could the performance have been better?
narator replaced with someone who can do an authentic Irish accent, also someone who doesn't sound like he is straining himself.
