Love Dick Hill

Listening to Dick Hill it’s like visiting with an old friend. I love his voice, and I enjoy any story that he narrates. Exciting story line, I look forward to listening to other stories in the series.

A Little Too Violent

Although Mexico’s drug-based economy certainly was depicted with authenticity, some of the violence was hard to get through. Some of the violence did not really advance the story. Dick Hill’s performance, however, never disappoints.

Enjoyed Listening

All listening for me is while driving.. Kept me occupied for my hour long commute. Kept me tuned into the story. Enjoyed listening. Kind of liked and hated El Ray all the way thru.

Action personified

I have listened to all four books one after another. How is it that one would wish for the best for a cold blooded killer? Well done Mr Blake! On to the next one.

exhilarating

I love El Ray nothing else needs to be said I'm just hoping for more from Mr Blake

Just “Ok”

First, the performance was not great, I’m the narrator has a great voice but I do not think this was the performance he was best suited for with his Spanish accents and annunciation left me confused at times. Second, the story was at times hard to follow and never gripped me. The first book in the series was by far the best and descriptions in general were great but then I’d be lost almost immediately trying to find out what’s happening. I’m not angry that I purchased this but I would not recommend it wholeheartedly.

A very in-depth novel

Although the novel provided many hours of good entertainment, I felt that the action was a little slow and drawn out. The plot was intriguing, the end not so surprising. The narrator did a right handsome job and in the end I was satisfied that the novel was worth the credit expended.

I’m not a prude but…

No wonder they sold me 4 books for the price of one. I love reading this genre, but this author goes into gruesome descriptions, going on and on with hideous murders, and gruesome descriptions of the worst treatments. He goes into detail on raping children, children murdering their parents: far beyond making a point to further the story.
I wouldn’t be surprised to know that several narrators refused to tell these stories.

Lack of character development

All the characters are flat cardboard cutouts with no growth or change. Really disappointing. Go with his black series.

Dick Hill can't do Mexican accents

This set of books is a good deal, many hours of mindless adventure for not much money. And Dick Hill is a great narrator . . . except when he is tasked with doing Latino accents. Of course the conceit of a novel set in Mexico where people speak English with Mexican accents is silly to begin with . . . so in keeping with that siliness, Dick uses an accent that is right out of central casting of every bad movie Mexican bandito. I work with Latinos daily, and have for many years . . . and I have yet to hear a single one speak the way Dick Hill does. He can pronounce simple Spanish words, which is good . . . but that accent. Oh, God, 40 hours of horrible Spanglish, I want my ears back . . .
