Do not let this book fool you!

STORY - The Negotiator is an inspirational book but, foremost, it is an excellent mystery/romance. The excitement starts early in the story and doesn't let up. There is a complex crime, interesting investigation, emotional hostage negotiations and an engaging romance. Sprinkled through the 10 1/2 hours there is about 30 minutes of religious conversation, but it fits with the story line well and is not overpowering. The language is clean and there is no sex or alcohol, but do not mistake this book for wimpy religious chick lit!

NARRATOR - The narrator is okay, but there are much better ones out there. He doesn't do female characters well, and occasionally I got confused who was speaking. Sometimes he pauses midsentence and then reads the rest of it like he lost his place, but these minor irritations don't detract from the total experience.

BOTTOM LINE - This is a very good book. I'm moving on to the next one in the series.

Great author and series

You find yourself entwined in the lives of the O'Mally family. You want to know their history. You want to be at the family gatherings.

excellant!

My husband and I enjoyed all of the O'Malley series. This was a great series to show several aspects of our relationship with God. We laughed and cried through every book along with the characters.

Love the O'Malleys

I'm a huge fan of this series, especially the first 2 books. I like the characters and the way faith is woven into the story. I also like that I can listen to this book without concern that my godchild or Mom will hear the contents. Win win in my book.

Great work.

I love the O'Malley stories. I have listened to them over and over. I like the way Ms. Henderson goes into great detail into the lives of the characters in her stories. I feel that I know them personally.

Great Christian Book

I like how the author has Christians witnessing to non Christians and answering some of the tough questions. Also appreciate the Biblical values are portrayed.

THE NEGOTIATOR review:

Love the book. Love all of Dee Henderson's books so far. Great characters with great message. Narrator is just okay, though.
