Reseñas de la Crítica

"Lovesey demonstrates that his embrace of crime fiction reaches from John Dickson Carr to Andrew Vachss as he skillfully pays homage to the old style whodunit in this thoroughly modern mystery." ( Publishers Weekly)

terrible narrator...pompous., editorial reading to

terrible narrator... as if he's editing story as he reads... good story... could barely listen
as narrator didn't appear to be listening himself to what he was reading

Top notch

I love the author’s ability to paint a scene or a character. DCI Diamond is a flawed person who knows and understands his shortcomings but hangs on to them. He apologizes when appropriate. And often, in the case of Sgt. Julie. The cast of characters is fascinating. The narrator is good either way dialects.

Love Peter Diamond!

Good detective story! I appreciated each character as they were well-developed. Had me guessing up to the end.

New narrator but still enjoyable!

I was disappointed when I realized that the book was narrated by someone other than Simon Pebble. Diamond's voice was different and, initially, I felt out of sync with the story. But then I noticed that Michael Healy's narration is different but not unenjoyable. He has a style very similar to Neil Gaiman's narration. I love everything that Gaiman narrates and I found myself loving Pebble's style as well
The story itself is my favorite so far.

Oh no! The reader! I cannot listen to another word

What did you like best about Bloodhounds? What did you like least?

The reader's inflection is not remotely related to what he is saying. It is sing-song and boring
