Feel good vs suspense

Family, orphans, love and suspenseful excitement, this book has it all. A group of orphans form their own family, the O’Malleys. They all find exciting service jobs. Kate is a negotiator. Big brother is a marshal. Then there are a fireman, a pediatrician, a Red Cross counselor, a forensic scientist, and a paramedic. They are family and their high suspense jobs overlap. I enjoy the relationships and, at times, hold my breath as one of them is in trouble. #Orphans #Family #Suspense #Tagsgiving #Sweepstakes

Good read.

Interesting story and characters. Narrator was pleasant to listen to, despite challenge of characterizing womens' voices with such a masculine one of his own.

Great Series

What did you love best about The Negotiator?

The Negotiator is probably one of the better books in the series. It's full of action and suspense, and that's what I loved best about this book.

What other book might you compare The Negotiator to and why?

Lately, I've been listening to a lot of suspense novels. Two recent novels come to mind, Indefensible by Pamela Callow and A Case of Redemption by Adam Mitzer. Both full of action and suspense, without the religious theme.

Which scene was your favorite?

The opening bank hostage scene was my favorite. One thing I can say about Dee Henderson, her opening scenes are always good. The novels may drag in the middle, but the beginning and endings are always good.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Kate O'Malley was hilarious. I found myself laughing at this character often.

Great Christian story and performance

This book is the first in the O'Malley series and tells Dave and Kate's story along with introducing the O'Malley family. It has warm, wonderful characters and great suspense with twists. The Christian message sprinkled lightly throughout is lovely. It is a very enjoyable and entertaining book!! The performance is really great!

Well done

Author did an excellent job incorporating excitement, intrigue, faith, and …development of love (not a love dump or infatuation but true love)
