Queen of the Night: A Novel of Suspense

J. A. Jance is on my very favorites list, but this one I wouldn't recommend for listening -- too many characters names, dates and times flash by too quickly. In a book I would have just flipped back a few pages to make sure of the character's name, etc. but with an I-pod that wasn't an option. If I had to do it over again I'd buy the book.
That said, I did love the story

I really enjoyed all the main/pertinent characters. Definitely different than usual. I wholeheartedly enjoyed the Native American aspect of the novel. I have read/heard all of the books, available to me, and loved them all... JoAnn Brady, J. P. Beaumont, I truly hope J. A. Jance writes more about these characters.

If you like a serial killer, an unpunished murderer, dysfunctional families with terrible pasts told in choppy flashbacks, evil ghosts, fear of dementia and a little homosexuality all thrown in, then this might be a book you will like. The reader was very good. I have read almost all Jance books, but not sure I will spend money on any more. I like many of her characters in other series, but have only read one other in this series which was pretty good. Oh yes, you also get to hear the temperature in Tuscon every few minutes for some unknown reason.

This is a bit different than the other J. A. Jance books. I enjoyed this book and all the native American stories and legends as well as the information about plants and fauna of the desert. The Walker family was wove into an intriguing story and I hope that this becomes a new series. Jance always writes stories that you can hardly put down. Greg Itzin did a good job narrating this story.

The beginning of this story was really screwy. I had to keep backing it up to figure out what was going on. The split between each stage setting narrative was not smooth, and I had trouble keeping the characters sorted out in the beginning. After that point the story unfolded pretty well, but I was looking for more to the whole story. The plot would have been much better if the killer would have seemed more realistic to me. I couldn't figure out how to respond to him.
The rest of the story was very good, and I especially liked how the writer handled the little girl and the people around her.

I have a lot of J.A. Jance books but this one is to hard to keep up with. to many stories switching around and around.

probably

did ok just confusing

most of them

I will definately watch the intros before I buy another

This was not the usual J. A. Jance book. The characters were very interesting and the history and native american legend added to the plot. I did not want to put this one down. The complex family dynamics and wonderful adoptions stories were inspiring. A very good book!
.

Although a very good book, the plot is sometimes hard to follow. There are many seemingly unrelated tangents that finally come together in the very end of the book. Interesting.

At the beginning, I was confused with all the bits of information about various people. But as the story unraveled, the relationship and meaning came into focus. A great listen.

Being an Arizona native Jance brings the trueness of the countryside to life and weaves, as only she can the traditions and the reason to visit for while and stay for a lifetime. I stumbled onto her books a few years ago and have eagerly waited for each installment. One of the many things I Love about her books is they are possible, it could really happen. I love reading the extraordinary feats of some authors but Jance never disapppoints with her characters or her story lines. I don;'t think I stopped listening until the last moment. A must read!
