Critic reviews

"An entertaining thriller-cum-romance-cum-conversion story is what readers get in this fast-paced novel....Christian readers will relish this intriguing tale." (Publishers Weekly)

Didn't want it to end!

Would you consider the audio edition of The Guardian to be better than the print version?

First book I have read of Dee Henderson and LOVED IT. Loved the Narrator Tom also!
Back to look for more by this Author and Narrator!

What does Tom Stechschulte bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

He makes you feel like you are there and part of the lives of the charactors.

Too much asking for Jesus to do something for them

and no where close to the thanks for when prayers are answered. Big part of why organized religion isn't for me. however I enjoy the good books that show people finding spirituality and something bigger than themselves Which is why I continue to listen to Dee and this amazing narrator

Great book

Dee Henderson is a great author. This is the second book in the series and is also great. I can't wait to read more of this series.

Super great book is second one in O'Malley series.

If you could sum up The Guardian in three words, what would they be?

Suspenseful, hopeful, & entertaining.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Marcus O'Malley. Strong, caring character for his family and anyone who is in his charge. He works his way through his pain from his childhood experience to find his faith once again.

Have you listened to any of Tom Stechschulte’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes. This performance was as good as the one for The Negotiator. Once again his voice and diction are very clear to understand, and his different accents for each character make the story easy to follow.

If you could rename The Guardian, what would you call it?

I would not change the name. The Guardian is the perfect discription of the main characters function in the story and his type of character.

Any additional comments?

Dee Henderson has made an exciting wonderful faith building series with her O'Malley series books.

Dee Henderson lives up to her reputation

Where does The Guardian rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Once again, enjoyed this book immensly. Tom Stechschulte does a suberb job catching the feel of the characters. I appreciate when a series has the same narrator to carry through with the voices of the characters. Dee Henderson brings the O'Malley family and their unique relationship and interesting careers to life, but does not skip over or sugar coat the hard questions. I love how she illustrates the issue that both unbelievers and "20 year believers" have with reguards to why God allows bad things to happen to good people.
