Loved the various voice distinctions.

Riveting. Kept me glued to the end. Loved the multiple mysteries and how they were all solved by the end.

Not as thrilling

I usually am on edge when reading a James Patterson book but this one left me just wanting the book to finish.

To many storylines

While interesting there were so many storylines and the chapters so short it was difficult to keep track of what was happening

Thoroughly Enjoyed It

as I'm sure we're most of us, I was intrigued by the title. it was interesting how multiple cases were entwined into this one book. However, I was a bit confused at the resolution of the Bane's burglary.

The 3 detectives

I loved this book. I did not realize this is a series with these 3 characters. I look forward to reading the next book.

Loving the reference to 2 of my all time favs...Marple and Holmes!

Too many different casesin one novel...too many to keep track of. As I listened, sometimes I forgot about a character that was mentioned earlier. Maybe less open cases and more procedural and story development would make it perfect. I still scored it 5 stars because mystery and suspense wins me over every time!!! Nevertheless...I am dying to listen to a Book 2 for these PIs. After all...Holmes must exit the treatment center to carry on the franchise. Book 2! Book 3! Book 15! Get on with the writing...PLEASE!

Very entertaining and enjoyable

Very entertaining and enjoyable but quite unrealistic - the 1 complete was the consistent transition from story to story, it was tough at times to follow, bunch of stories in 1. The endings all so happy and too perfect.
