Outstanding

enjoyed this so much I listened to it 4 times in a row. Can't wait for his 3rd book

"Aimed For An Iceberg"

Would you listen to Borderline Insanity again? Why?

yes, as it had the flavor of Linda Howard's Cry No More, a romance mystery.
This story showcases "perception is more important than reality".
I hope author has book # 3 in the hopper with Ms Dawe reading it. Book #1 reader sample didn't appeal to me. (no sample of her male voice)

Who was your favorite character and why?

Lots of characters to like in this story as it is a fast pace good dialogue story.
Victor, special agent forensics accountant, is a fave because he has brains and puppy dog tenacity to follow our fearless heroine Dagey. Father Diego, "a lot of handsome wasted on a priest."

Have you listened to any of Angela Dawe’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Ms Dawe has really hit her stride in this book with great accents and voice inflections.
Ms Dawe's male voices are her best quality (lots of male characters in this story) and she has wonderfully improved her cadence. (note: I do use the new 1.25x speed to match the author's intent)
I just finshed Marcia Clark's Moral Defense, both are outstanding listens. Not to be missed.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

This is a long story that I didn't want to end therefore that makes me feel good about it.
I realized the author circled back in the last few chapters, and I got a wow ending.

Intense!

I enjoyed this book as I did the 1st in the series. The extreme magnitude of those killed was phenomenal for one man to achieve. Excellent plot! The killer could execute this many deaths at once due to the victims status. Illegal immigrants in a county that despised them left the door wide open for the crimes. Where he had the bodies was another genius. There is so much I could continue to say about the characters. Those we met in the first book and the new ones we met in this book. The most important thing I can say is “read it!”

Couldn’t put this one down!

So many questions about the disappearance of several undocumented workers. Who are they? Why are they disappearing? Where did they go? Who is responsible for their disappearance? You’ll be surprised when you find out.

Fantastic

I ended up enjoying this book very much. I found it hard to get started because of the subject matter, I deal with Hispanics, legal and illegal every day, so the subject touched close to home. I started off with the Kindle version which I won on a Goodreads giveaway and then switched to the Audible version and was able to get through the book much easier.

The writing was excellent and I stayed on the seat of my pants the last half of the book. There was a lot of character growth in Dagny and there was plenty of character information on the other main characters in the book. I didn't feel like they were 1 or 2 dimensional characters.

There were twists I didn't expect, there were a couple of twists I thought would go one way but ended going a totally different direction, so I was kept guessing. The pace was brisk without being too fast and I was kept on my toes in a couple of places trying to figure out what was going to happen.

Angela Dawe did an excellent job in the narration, pacing was good, emotions were what they should be. All and all I thoroughly enjoyed the book.

I look forward to reading other Dagny Gray novels as they come out.

EXCELLENT RIDE ..don't put it down!

I haven't read the first in the series but the development of great but flawed characters aligned with a bit bizarre plot kept me reading!!

first book was much better. this one just ok

First book, "the bubble thief" was great. this book is simply expected. ending made no sense
