Reseñas de la Crítica

"Memorable both for the frightening opening scenario and the savage change of direction that the plot takes midway through. This is a thriller to savor." ( Australian Crime Fiction Database)

Too dark for me, but well-written.

If you could sum up And Hope to Die in three words, what would they be?

Anticlimactic at end.

What about Humphrey Bower’s performance did you like?

Bower is my absolutely favorite narrator. However, I did not like his presentation of the characters in this work. His American accents, I thought, were just a little off, and one of the younger characters sounded old.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Dark psychological thriller.

Good Crime Novel

Almost listened to this one straight through. Lots of twists and turns. Overall, good read/listen.
