What can I say about Eric Jerome Dickey in a negative way....NOTHING! I keep up with all of his books, because they are very entertaining! I LOVE how has characters "talk among each other".... Sometimes I have a smile on my face or a serious look... it all depends on the mood of each of the characters! AUDIBLE... PLEASE get more audiobooks from this author! His books are great to listen to...funny at times... and keeps you interested in what will happen next! Totally down to earth!

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
I think this book is for the timid and new listeners. I found this book to be a little slow and boring. There wasn't enough "drama". Just my opinon though. I'm sure there are plenty to might like it.

I enjoyed this piece. I especially liked the way that each character had its own narrator. It made the piece really come to life.

I actually expected more from this book after reading the second book before the first one but I'm disappointed. This book was just boring & dragged on. Am I missing something? This book left me with a lot of questions. I feel like I missed a. book in between. Needed more details on Mr. Streets. Just to many unanswered questions.
