Bloodline

Repairman Jack, Book 11

De: F. Paul Wilson

Narrado por: Dick Hill

It starts off simply enough. (Doesn't it always?) Jack has been on hiatus since the tragic events in Harbingers. With his beloved Gia's encouragement he dips his toe back into the fix-it pool.

Christy Pickering's 18-year-old daughter is dating Jerry Bethlehem, a man twice her age. Christy sensed something shady and sinister about him, so she hired a private investigator to look into his past. But the PI isn't returning her calls. Will Jack find out why?

Jack learns there's a very good reason for the unreturned calls: The PI is dead, victim of a bizarre water-torture murder.

As Jack delves into Jerry Bethlehem's past, he finds connections between Bethlehem and the Creighton Institute. The Institute, a government-funded facility, is researching a newly discovered and frightening variation on human DNA. Jack learns that Bethlehem is not the man he pretends to be.

Who - and what - Jerry Bethlehem really is will have a devastating effect on Jack's life and future.

And as the bodies pile up, Jack finds another piece of the puzzle about his own identity and why he's been drafted into a cosmic shadow war.

Not my favorite

I know there are many people who like Dick Hill. I am not one of them. The way he does the voices makes every person sound like they are stupid. Even the hero of the story. I can't tell one from another. I find my mind wandering in thought about that and miss the story. I gave it 3 stars, but seriously, I don't even recall what it was about.

Not my preferred narrator

Dick Hill’s performance is subpar in my opinion. He gives Jack a cocky bravado that’s reminds me of a noir style movie. Hill’s pitch change makes it extremely difficult to listen to. If you adjust the volume for the lows the highs blast you. Trying to find a happy medium is extremely frustrating.

I prefer Price’s narration, only one more book in the series to go until a Price narration.

Bad Narration

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

I intend to finish it in print. Can't take the narration.

Would you ever listen to anything by F. Paul Wilson again?

Yes, by Chris Price.

Would you be willing to try another one of Dick Hill’s performances?

Absolutely not.

Christopher Price > Dick Hill

If you could sum up Bloodline in three words, what would they be?

typical story, but the audio/voice is superior with Christopher Price reading; Dick Hill gives a solid effort but fails to enunciate with the same clarity and power as Price

What did you like best about this story?

if you like the other books in the series, you'll like this one about as much as average

Did Dick Hill do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

he tried, but when he went to change vocal intonation or inflection, it made many of the words hard to hear

change of narrator

I didn't like the narrator on this book.. i got used to the other narrator and was disappointed with this one.
