The White Crow

De: Michael Robotham

Narrado por: Katy Sobey

“No one does suspense better.” —Stephen King

Ambitious young London police officer Philomena McCarthy returns in this propulsive thriller by the author of When You Are Mine.

Philomena McCarthy has defied the odds to become a young officer with the Metropolitan Police despite her father and her uncles being notorious London gangsters.

On patrol one night, Philomena finds a barefoot child, covered in blood, who says she can’t wake her mother. Meanwhile, three miles away, a London jeweler has a bomb strapped to his chest in his ransacked store and millions are missing.

These two events collide and threaten Philomena’s career, her new marriage, and her life. In too deep, and falling further, Phil must decide who she can trust—her family or her colleagues—and on what side of the thin blue line she wants to live.

Told in real time from multiple points of view, The White Crow is filled with almost unbearable suspense—a page-turning tour de force that shows Robotham at the top of his game.

Excellent

Took awhile for me, but this ended up being on par with Robotham’s best. Great characters, well plotted. How did I miss the first one?

Great story..

Love the narrator. Loved both books in this series. Very riveting in depth story by author. Live Michael Robotham’s books.

Plot, narration and dialogue

There are no books by this author that I haven’t read. He’s a marvelous author. I loved this one; read it in one day!

amazing

such a great story. hooked from the beginning and didn't want it to end.

Details of situation

Great narration, intriguing plot. Descriptions paint a plot that that goes in so many directions but comes together perfectly in the ending

Phenomenal Michael Robotham!

I absolutely loved this novel by bestseller Michael Robotham. The Philomena series is fantastic. I’m already looking forward to the next one. Fabulous narrator. I give this an A+++++ on all fronts. Don’t wait! Start it now. ☺️👍🏻

Brilliant, Breakneck Thriller From the Master

I’ve loved every novel from Robothom. This edition is one of the best, action packed novels I’ve read. Years back I purchased Bomb Proof, a stand alone novel that includes a PI Vincent Ruiz. (Ruiz is in most of Robotham’s O’Loughlin series and is my favorite PI in fiction.) Anyway I finished Bombproof in a day. It remains one of those few novels that reads like a blockbuster movie. White Crow is another incredible novel that reads the same way. It’s simply brilliant.
Katy Sobey narrated the masterpiece and does a wonderful job. Bravo Katy!

Excellent new series

Great plot. Characters and narration. Definitely recommend starting with Book 1 in the series. Looking forward to book 3

Terrific Listen

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book. The character are well drawn. I look forward to the third in the series. Philomena is a great character. The conflict with her family offers a lot of opportunities for stories. I like the way the cop with OCD was handled.

Could barely finish

Not at all what I expected from this author. Slow plot, boring and nothing at all to keep me listening, found myself wandering off....very dissapointed
