"Too many story lines."
This is a toss up. I read all the ABC books and since N they have gone downhill. Now I at the point where I want to be able to say I read all of them but, now that in question.
Dresden Files or a Death book by Dodd.
I like her but it would be hard to listen to her as somebody other than Kinsey. I also have this problem with Scott Brick who I just love as a reader.
It took over 4 hours to get a client. Too many story lines going on and how dumb does Kinsey look after reading this book. It one thing to make a mistake but to make one after another? Would you hire such a person.
The reviews posted to date on this site have been right on the mark. I don't know what happen with this one may-be I got a different version.
"Just another great Ceepak book"
I really like Fun House but, this is just a better story. It could be the best because Danny is a very competent detective. He is growing up and now make decision on his own plus the give take during interview with Ceepak.
At no point during the investigation does Chris Grabenstein tip his hand and let you know would be the guilty person. On the hand with Danny knowing everyone on the island it is almost heart breaking when they are investigate another one his friends.
By far one my favor readers. What is now happening now is you'll hear an old or dead character in a new character voice. I just hope there is not a change here.
When Danny's friend explains her job in advance age home care. When Danny's and his friend at the picnic table at he fish place.
I just love this series. I hope they keep coming each May for the next several years.
"About 6 hours too long"
Ended nicely.
Good question, I've listen to this whole series and been waiting for this book. I got tried of every time Harry crossed a street he a major fight. Once or twice OK but 50 time way too much I cut the last 4 hours of the second part of three and didn't miss anything after starting part 3.
No problems here.
It would have to be rated x and over 3 hours. Guess not.
No sure I'll continue this series, length of the book will have a lot to do with it.
"Ace, Got it Right!"
This could very well be in the top 20%. My current library is somewhere around 250 so go figure.
This not about one story or book but a process of several characters that have been developed over 30 years. What a great job Ace did with the characters.
He is one of the best but now could not listen to him as anybody else except Spenser.
Love the times he talks with the love of his life, Sue. I always enjoy these parts.
Hope Ace keep these coming, wish he could also pickup the Appaloosa series.
"A Great Listen"
I would recommend this book to friends and family but would have to with a warning about the language. The language is crude but it make the situation in the book believable.
Batman testing out a hypothesis and at "Veggie Shack" Danny's reactions and thoughts.
When the Fried Oreo guy asked Ceepak if he was George f****ing Washington? Danny's answer.
Ceepak meets Reality TV!
We listen to this book over the weekend and my wife stated that she was not enjoying the book as much as the other during the first half of the book. I asked "Why?" Her answer was the language and how this generation were treating each other. This lead to two discussions. First author Chris Grabstein go it right with language, actions, and events with reality shows. Then I pointed out how Danny and other locals in the same age group were just as discussed with this show as Ceepak and yet the town leader loved the show. This will be listen to again and would recommend it to friends and family.
"Didn't finish it"
Story line, just did like what the book was all about. I read about 50 books a year and this one of may-be 5 I have not finish.
nothing
ok
disappointment
none
"My Fault"
I was warned by other reviews and I did purchased it anyway. One hour in and changed to another book already. The only way I'll finish this book is to read it. Is their anyway they can remaster this and send it to us? Narration is very poor.
"Best one yet!"
I don't sit in the garage very often and listen to books, I did today. Lincoln Lawyer new book "The Fifth Witness" I listened to in 2 days. One other reviewer got it right when he said you have to do the last 30 minutes in one sitting.
"Just Average tp Poor"
Outside of hearing "Hell Bell" it read like the "Towering Inferno" it just not as good as others. Lots of build up to this book and I think the author thought it was it best work it wasn't. If I picked this up first I would not gotten any of the others, I liked Micheal but the rest of the cast was very under developed. .
"Like Virgil not the book"
Content disturbed me with a church and all crimes against children. If I would known the content would have purchased the book.
