CJ Washburn, P.I. Bundle: Books 1-4

De: James Paddock

Narrado por: Josiah John Bildner

Deserving of Death

Women’s bodies keep turning up, and CJ becomes a person of interest, then the prime suspect, the subject of a manhunt from the Idaho panhandle to Southern Arizona. Bodies continue to drop around him until his deepest fear is pushed upon him and his investigative skills are challenged at the highest level.

Sailing into Death

Find Douglas no matter what, CJ is told. It’s off to Florida where he finds him dead. With the FBI, HLS, Interpol, and who knows who else involved, can CJ and Stella figure out who killed Douglas and what it all has to do with his being born in the middle of the Battle of the Bogside in Derry, Northern Ireland, in 1969?

Angel of Death

Did Jesper Monnier die at his own hand or was it the young man who the twins hustled on the pool table in Atlantic City, or a jealous boyfriend, or a disgruntled employee of the huge superyacht? Or was it someone else altogether? Are CJ and Stella, now P.I. partners, actually going to get married

Never Surrender to Death

CJ and Stella are on their honeymoon in New Zealand when they find themselves embroiled in the search for a murderer of children. From Auckland and Papatoetoe to National Park on North Island, across Cook Strait to South Island and on down to Christchurch, they pursue both the killer and their honeymoon.

Compelling

The stories suck you in and leave you o the edge of your seat rooting for the good guys to win

Love his Books

I love how his stories connect together, and you can really relate to the characters. I’ve read both of his bundles, and I’m going to look for more books by him.

Okay, though a bit predictable

You get what you pay for here for hours of some okay entertainment. The two main characters were a bit cheesy and predictable. The best characters appears briefly. The author seemed to write for a generic audience, but in making his characters a little dimwitted at times came across like assuming the read couldn't figure out what was going on...give cyour readers more credit. Some overused phrases and situations appeared, but there was enough momentum that at least it kept me interested.

The narrator might have taken away from the text. He had to create voices for many characters with tons of dialects, which sometimes led to a southern American sounding like a mix between another Irish character, or a New Zealand character sounding Welsh. The French characters kept pronouncing an "H" like Americans. Very distracting. Some words were pronounced a couple different ways in different areas of the books. The audio quality changed several times and I could hear him bumping the microphone and moving paper. The emphasis on some phrases was so strange sometimes that I would laugh. A dialect coach would be helpful next time. He tried hard and had some really good voices and energy, but I don't think that I could listen to another book read by him.

Accent

I was often distracted by the narrator and all of his accents seem to be a British cockney accent that I found annoying. The content was pretty good but dragged on in several places.

complex story line

OK I'll write a review because you're making me but I don't feel like it cuz in tired

Loved them all

I love how each tie together yet were in different places and with different characters. Especially 4 being in New Zealand. Quite different. The narrator did a great job differentiating the characters making it easy to follow.

Can CJ be any more stupid

mind numbing how dumb CJ is, annoying and idiotic. Had potential but fizzled with stupidity.

Very Entertaining audiobook series

Great series, all 4 books kept a nice pace for listening. A few cliché moments here and there but overall a good book, definitely enhanced by a great narrator. Mr. Bildner’s variety of voices definitely added to the flow of the story and for the most part we’re well done with regards to accents and character individual development. Well worth your time to listen.

Decent

The stories are a little basic, "See spot solve Crime". The main character's "Batman" voice is difficult to get used to, but the narrator does a good job with other voices.

Great narration

Wish it was longer. There needs to be sequels. Hated when it was over.
