An IQ Novel

De: Joe Ide

Narrado por: Zeno Robinson

In this sixth installment in the critically acclaimed and beloved series, IQ must rescue Grace from a maniacal hitman who bears a bone-deep grudge against him

Isaiah Quintabe’s first love, Grace, has been kidnapped by his sworn enemy, the professional hitman Skip Hanson. Skip is savage and psychotic, determined to punish Isaiah for sending him to prison and destroying his life. Isaiah and his sometimes partner, ex-hustler Juanell Dodson, together again, must track scant clues through L.A.’s perilous landscape as Grace’s predicament grows more uncertain.

A complication arises in the form of Winnie Hando, a homicide detective with something to prove. Stubborn and effective, Winnie sees Isaiah’s efforts as an obstruction to the investigation and a possible embarrassment: an unlicensed PI can’t be seen doing the department’s job better than the department. Winnie tries to stop Isaiah while pursuing the case herself, each hindering the other’s progress. As the desperate hunt winds on, Isaiah fears that even if he can bring Grace home alive, things between them will never be the same. This latest series installment is an explosive collision of larger-than-life characters, shotguns, vicious dogs, stampeding horses, and Ide’s signature energy, grit, and profundity.

Elated and Heartbroken

I love this book as I have all of the previous titles in this series. However there were 2 things that I did not like about this book. Firstly, it took so long getting here. But all in all, it was worth the wait. Secondly, even though battles were won, much was lost.
Joe Ide has quickly risen to become one of my 5 authors.

Outstanding

Love the characters, their development and the overall story. I can’t wait for the next book !!!

A worthy continuation of the series

IQ up to his usual hi-jinx but the real bright spot here is Dodson. Good to see him shine. Could a book starring Dodson be next. I hope so

just not my favorite

I love Joe Ide books and characters, this one just didn't do it for me. lost something on this one.

It’s just OK

I’ve been reading this whole series. And this is definitely the weakest installment. I feel like nobody gave him direction while he was writing the book to bring together a cohesive story. The thing that drove me to IQ in the beginning was his Sherlock Holms type deduction skills. Which we barely saw in this book. This book was just one ridiculous situation after another. With no real end result. the Dodson storyline is by far the savior of the whole book. If you’re reading the whole series, you should probably go ahead and read it to keep up with the storyline. But if you’ve never read an IQ book before. By all means, go back to the first 1 one. The first couple are really great and fun and well written. This seems a little bit like phoning it in. And again no really good plot. And the characters they decided to focus on were just ridiculous.

IQ is back

IQ and his whole extended family are put through the wringer in this story. We are left at a crossroads in everyone’s lives and wondering where they will go next.

Where is IQ?

I felt like this was lacking an actual IQ story and was made up of side-character backstories and other side stories of the neighborhood.

Unlike some other reviewers, I thought the ending was sad and told us so much of who IQ is.

Turn your volume down

This would have been much better if the narrator wasn’t screaming for 40% of it.

My favorite of the series so far

If you loved books one through five you'll love this one. Joe ide can't miss with you this franchise.

Wanted more

Somewhat disappointed with the ending and the story overall. I still like the characters, however.
