Killer, Come Hither

De: Louis Begley

Narrado por: R.C. Bray

Jack Dana is a former marine infantry officer and Force Recon platoon leader. He is also the author of three successful books. It may seem odd that someone like Jack - honor graduate of the corps' toughest combat schools, a guy who knows how to punch a blade between a person's ribs and went door-to-door killing people during the second battle for Fallujah - should become a novelist.

But there's the other side of Jack: the Yale graduate, the only child of a Harvard philosophy professor father and a flutist mother who played with a Boston-based chamber orchestra. He was raised in a comfortable clapboard house in Cambridge and then later, after his parents' deaths, by his enigmatic uncle in Long Island. As Jack would say, "The truth is that to everything there is a season."

Reseñas de la Crítica

"The great pleasure of reading Louis Begley [is] his exceptional literary intelligence." ( New York Times Book Review)

Creative story

Fast paced twisting plot and relevant to today’s world. Loved the way the character builds

This is a weird book is it AI written?

First it's not a bad story but very stilted in places and the people act like the 1960's in their drinking. The actions of the characters also from a previous generation even though this is taking place in modern times.
The exploding gun? The Animal tranquilizer (curare which is not used anymore)? WTF??? Very bizarre plot mechanisms

I suspect that this is an AI written story but it was finished in 2015 so I guess not.

Why ruin an amazing storyline by insulting half the country?

Making all Republicans/Conservatives out as money-hungry criminals get away with breaking every law they can is sad. I wanted to read the second book, but since I’m such a terrible person, I’m sure the author wouldn’t want the royalties from scoundrels like me.

Great true story

Great story and well written. This is the first book I’ve heard from this author, now I look forward to listening to his other books. I never cared for love stories but I really wanted a happy love story ending. It’s interesting what people are willing to accept.I agree that the justices system doesn’t always work and with enough money the money is the judge and jury. As always JC Bray is the king! It’s hard to listen to a book without his voice.

🙄 I listened only for r c brays narration

easily predictable and cliche. proof that r c bray narration can turn a how's ear into a silk purse.
