GREAT BOOK , GREAT NARRATION!!

I CAN ALMOST GUARANTEE I AM GOING TO ENJOY A BOOK NARRATED BY RON McLARTY AND ORLAGH CASSIDY AND THIS ONE WAS NO DIFFERENT. THE DAVID BALDACCI BOOKS JUST FEEL A CUT ABOUT THE OTHER AUDIO BOOKS. THE CHARACTER OF WILL ROBEY IS MEMORABLE AND I HOPE BALDACCI WILL CONTINUE WITH THIS CHARACTER.

Loved it

This was a thoroughly enjoyable read. The characters are human and you find yourself gunning for them. No unexpected twists or turns but still a really good read. Well worth the credit.
I have read all David Baldaccis books and this is up there as a favourite.

Truth & Lies

A complex story of deceit & deception by those who really should be incorruptible, but always seem to overwhelmingly think their power makes them untouchable. Outstanding narration with 2 voices & sound effects makes this a very appealing & entertaining story.

Good read

Loved it...the narrator really brought it to life...Will is a cool character. Baldacci does tell a good story

Another great movie I'll watch when it's made

The writing here has every chapter read out like a scene of a movie. Really good pacing and decent story. If I have a criticism I think the women can be a little better written, but just a little.

Great story

Love the characters and the story is immersive and entertaining. Love this series of books and engaging narration - with just the right touch of sound effects.

Probably a good book, but spoilt by narrator

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

This is the second book in the 'Will Robie' series. I gave up on the first book after just 30 mins. I flicked thru a couple of minutes of this book. The same boring scary monotones of 'Ron McLarty'.Other book reviewers suggest that this is a great read from David Buldacci.It is the narrator that brings a book to life, and 'value adds' to the experience. Ron McLarty does NOT have this skill.P.S. I absolutely hate "Sound Effects". Save that stuff for the movies and the big screen.

Any additional comments?

It is the narrator that brings a book to life, and 'value adds' to the experience. Ron McLarty does NOT have this skill.I will make sure that any future purchase does not involve him.
