Feels like home

Revisado: 12-03-23

Any time your favorite detective is handed off to a new writer there are worries. Not in this case. Mike Lupica’s love of the character shines through each page. My only suggestion is he write faster on the next one. Well done, Mr Lupica.

Audiobook or Print

Revisado: 10-11-22

Another great book in the Cormoran Strike series. If you are torn between reading this one or listening to the audiobook, I'd recommend reading it instead. Due to the plot, there are ton of private messages and Tweets, and each one starts with the date, who is sending the message and to whom. With extremely long message threads, this gets monotonous. If you were reading it, you'd skip over these parts quickly, but can't in an audiobook. This is not the fault of Robert Glenister, as his work continues to be first class.

Carolyn Seymour brings the world of Jane Austin to life in a fabulous manner. Highly recommended.

It's Flower Time

Revisado: 10-08-19

I love the change of pace of a Virgil Flowers novel compared to a Lucas Davenport novel. Another solid entry in the series as Virgil ends up in the middle of a campus academic fight while investigating the murder of the professor. Figuring out the killer was not difficult. Having said that getting to the finale was another enjoyable ride. Eric Conger is a first-rate narrator. My only complaint there were times when I wasn't sure who was talking, but it didn't happen often. I highly recommend Bloody Genius.

Mixed thoughts

Revisado: 04-09-19

Craig Johnson's writing is always superb, but in Depth of Winter, in the last third of the book, the characters, both Walt Longmire and the bad guys, make decisions which don't make a lot of sense to me. I still enjoyed the book and would recommend it to Longmire fans.

Great Start to a new Series

Revisado: 02-11-19

I found Shadowlith to be a great start to a new fantasy series ( I understand it to be a two book series). Alster is the kind of character who is easy to cheer for. I also like Thaman's take on a new type of monster and those who create them, the Shadowlith.

J. Scott Bennett is one of the best fantasy narrators in the game. Find and listen to anything he narrates. You won't be disappointed.

Historical Fiction at it's Finest

Revisado: 01-22-19

I'm a huge historical fiction fan and picked up These Honored Dead after meeting the author, Jonathan Putman. Many forget Lincoln was a lawyer (among other things) before he entered politics and These Honored Dead dives into this part of Lincoln's life. We get to see things unfold through the eyes of Joshua Speed, a dry good store junior partner. Speed and Lincoln share a room and become friends. The murder mystery at the heart of the story is well developed and there are enough clues for the reader to figure out the "who did it" along with Speed. Most of the characters in the story were actual people in Lincoln's orbit and it was fun learning a bit of history along with an excellent mystery.

Narrator Lloyd James does a fantastic job giving life to each and every character. These Honored Dead comes highly recommended.

Looking for Alaska

Revisado: 09-01-18

I thought the narration was spot on. My only real complaint is one of the choices made by the main character near the end of the book which seemed out of place, a choice the novel pivots upon. Otherwise a great YA read.

I enjoyed Warbreaker

Revisado: 09-01-18

I thought Warbreaker was a decent story. Alyssa Bresnahan does an excellent job in the narration. And at almost 25 hours you are getting the bang for your Audible bucks.

John Rubinstein is the man

Revisado: 09-01-18

Jonathan Kellerman never fails to deliver in an Alex Delaware novel, but what makes the series for me is John Rubinstein's narration. I can't imagine anyone else bringing these characters to life other than Rubenstein. While I found some of the characters annoying (and that's the point) the story was well written and entertaining.
