"better and better"
I read a lot of crime novels, I only read crime novels. Tana French paints a picture better than any I have read. You find a little movie playing in your head as you read. The character development is top notch. She doesn't try to let you know all about them all a once, there are surprises throughout. And the narrator, wow! This is where listening to a book is better than reading it. As a typical american I could never have put an Irish accent to the words, especially the slang phrases/words. I am actually dreaming in an Irish accent!
I had recently found Tana French and listened to all the books in a short period of time, waiting impatiently for July 24th when Broken Harbor came out. I am sad to realize it will probably a while before her next great novel will grace us.
"better narrator"
Read the bat then this one then Nemesis. The first two flowed better and didn't drag on.
"not spectacular but a good read"
interesting story, makes you really wonder about the inner working of the government and how little we regular guys are ever told
"Loved it"
Great story and the narrator just puts the icing on the cake. great series
"Kinda Dragged"
I read The Bat and then this one, found both kind of dragged. Could be the translation.
"predictable but good"
predictable throughout but as good as the others, good read, enjoyed as much as the others
"Cheesiest One Yet"
The last couple of Women's Murder Club have just gone hill. This one was the absolute worst. I felt like I was watching a bad soap opera with terrible actors trying to work with a hideous script. There were so many 'realllllllly' moments. Lindsey really said that or did that. Do Paetro or Patterson have children? The way certain scenes were written it wouldn't seem like they had any real life experience in that field to draw upon. I will probably read the next one but if its like this one then I'll be done with the series.
"HMMMMMMM"
Well I guess I read way too many of this genre. I was talking back to the book while driving. So many things Nathan was missing at first: get the license plate, check for a tracker, call Harv........come on Nathan wake up buddy get with the program. At least Harv pointed out the lapses in judgement and it wasn't an author oversight! Lauren was a little too much of everything to be really believable but the story was gripping. I do like the way honesty was dealt with between Nathan and Lauren. So many adults don't give kids enough credit about what they can handle and lie or sugar coat. Definitely loving the series, thanks Andrew!
"Good Follow up"
Again I am impressed. Good to get to know Nathan and Harvey more. Can't wait to start the 3rd book
"Impressive"
At first I was thinking oh no someones trying to copy Jack Reacher: Nathan McBride 6'5", 240 ex-military. But I continued to listen and boy was I pleasantly surprised. You immediately fall for Nathan and his partner Harv. I purchased the 2nd and 3rd right away and am listening consecutively. Of course Dick Hill is the best!
"HORRIBLE NARRATOR"
Somebody contact the publisher and have this good book re-read by someone else. It would not be so bad if Erik Davies just spoke in his own voice through the whole book but instead he does a terrible early Arnold Schwarzenegger impression when he's voicing the characters. It doesn't even sound the least bit Scandinavian.
I got through about 2 hours of the book and I can't take anymore. I can't even remember what I read because all I could see in my mind was Arnold.
The story seems good and gets great reviews from the reading public but for those of us who have to listen or just choose to this narration is unbearable.
