"They never disappoint"
Nelson DeMille, Scott Brick and the character they both bring to life are simply the best! I love the look back AND getting something to tide me over until The Panther is released.
"Great short story"
The only problem I had with this book is that I wish it was longer.
I love the John Corey character and have been waiting (not so patiently) for another one of his books to come out so when I found this one I thought I would give it a go even though it was less than 2 hours long.
It was a fun quick paced story full of the John Corey trade mark smarta#* sarcastic remarks and dry humour.
"DeMille, one of my favorite Authors"
It is rare for me to re-read a book. This book was as good as his others. Only problem for me was I wanted it to last longer. Once I finish one of his books, it's hard to find something that I want to read. His dialog goes from serious situation, to a hilarious remark. I think he is a brilliant writer and and never gets boring.
Real Deal
"Great short story"
Nice story with John Corry as a NYPD detective solving a murder as his morning's work
"Loved the Book.................."
I loved listening to the story as I was driving to/from my husbands home. I love Nelson DeMille and have bought several of his books.
John Corey because he is a wonderful detective and Nelson DeMille make the characters alive.
He put good character into the character if that makes sense but he made John Corey more believeable and with Nelson DeMille books, you have to really believe what is going on and then you really wonder if what happens in the book hasn't actually happened.
I never really laugh or cry however I was wondering if things were real in the book that it was actually happening in our own world.
Love Nelson DeMille and will probably buy the next audible.com book from him.
"Interesting study on the psychology of the mind"
The reading was terrific and DeMille did a fantastic job on depicting the nature of the human mind. While I appreciated the reading and the pschological aspects, the story wasn't gripping. It reminded me a lot of the way Columbo used to think..."Oh...one more thing." I did enjoy the book and recommend it, but it's not one of my all-time favorites.
I picked this one up because I love books, bookstores and anything book related. I'd never read DeMillle before but thoroughly appreciated his delving in of human nature. He did that well...so well that I think I will read other books by him. He really pegged the psychology...I loved that!
I'm not sure if I've ever listened to Scott Brick before, but regardless, he really added to the whole story. His timing was superb...I loved the pauses...very well done.
There was not one moment in particular that moved me, but it was fun to watch as clues were revealed and the thought process that was used to draw conclusions. It's always shocking what the human mind can justify.
Give it a shot...it's a short, but fun, ride!
"Story good, didn't use Audible"
I enjoyed the story. I would have liked more!!
Predictable.
Story was so short I didn't use Audible. It was a waste of my money. It cost more than the book.
No a one.
I don't think I would purchase an Audible book unless it was a really big book.
"Didn't do John Corey justice."
Much too obvious, I would have like to see John Corey have a bit more of a challenge.
"Not Worth a Listen"
This short story takes place early in the career of John Corey where he is called in to a suspicious accident. I found the story very boring and predictable. I am glad I paid so little for it.
"Whodunnit?"
Has the feel of a classic crime drama. A bite-sized book, with a larger-than-life detective.
This my introduction to DeMille and Corey, and if he is like this I will listen to more of his books. I had read that Detective Corey was a smart-a_ _, but thankfully he was not like that in this short. Modern-day Sherlock Holmes, more like it.
