Death Dealing

The Ryder Quartet, Book 4

De: Ian Patrick

Narrado por: Ian Patrick

"The woman's cries floated down the passage and bubbled out through the front door in helpless, anguished, tortured spasms. It was a sound that echoed down the ages. The horror of mothers from any species that might ever have lived on the planet. A parent trying to deal with the impossible: the death of her young ones. It was a sound to chill the blood."

A notorious killer escapes from prison. Heart-rending scenes show the kinds of trauma faced by victims of crime. The thrilling action takes place against a tapestry of courage and heroism in daily clashes between the forces of law and order on the one hand and brutal crime on the other.

I haven't heard many but this was really excellent

What did you like best about this story?

The characters are so believable and the action is very compelling

Which character – as performed by Ian Patrick – was your favorite?

Mavis was the best. I loved her. Then the villain with the matchstick in his mouth was fascinating.

Yes, but I was happy to listen to it over three or four days too.

Detective Ryder and his wife - oh, and his dog - are lovely.

Harrowing but very good

What did you love best about Death Dealing?

The dust cover says it all: the traumatic encounter of innocent families with evil criminals, and the valiant cops that try to deal with a tsunami of crime. very well written and very well performed.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Death Dealing?

The scene in question with the family was very, very powerful and emotionally gripping.

Which character – as performed by Ian Patrick – was your favorite?

Actually, the character of Mavis was great. I liked her a lot. But Jeremy Ryder is the real hero. An action man like Jack Reacher, all the way. With a no-nonsense wife to keep him in check. And both support my rugby team so what's not to like?.

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

Good against evil in the fists of a no-nonsense detective.

Any additional comments?

A great scene with the dog at the end.

Shocking and very plausible

This was thrilling. A very shocking story about brutal crime - and not a word of it is exaggerated, I can assure anyone who wants to know, because I live in the country where it all takes place.

The narrator does a good job with all the accents. Perhaps a bit too rushed in parts but always very convincing.

Ryder is a great cop. Strength to his arm (or fists, really). We need more characters like him to deal with the scary violent criminals on the streets. This is vigilante justice from the pen of a writer who clearly knows what he's talking about.

Very different and quite exciting

If you could sum up Death Dealing in three words, what would they be?

Emotional roller-coaster

What was one of the most memorable moments of Death Dealing?

The last chapter, without doubt. There is a devastating scene that will have you sitting bolt upright.

What does Ian Patrick bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Nice easy fluid narration and very good accents

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, although I didn't because of other interruptions.

Any additional comments?

Really, really, really good.
