Decent Mystery

This was my first book by this author. I liked the characters and the story was pretty good. Glad it was on sale and I did not spend a credit though.

Fabulous

I loved the story and wish it was longer! Would recommend to all readers! Enjoy!

Savage and Sherlock are getting old....

What made the experience of listening to Backfire the most enjoyable?

I have always loved reading Savage and Sherlock's story but listening now brings them to life...I can picture them in my head while listening.

What did you like best about this story?

I actually liked the story of Eve and Harry...I feel a new storyline coming.....

Which scene was your favorite?

I liked the banter between Eve and Harry, especially her reaction to "commitment issues!"

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Any time Savage or Sherlock get injured I worry that Coulter will kill one of the off....

Any additional comments?

Like I said Savage and Sherlock are a little bored and settled in this book....Eve and Harry were really the stars.

Decent

The story is decent, the writing and characters are cheeseball express to cheddarville. Not worth a credit IMO, but worth the cost of a deal of the day sale, which is how I got it.

FBI series

Loved this one I did not know these stores went past the first 7 hope they are more to come loved old characters reuniting and all the new ones. Enjoy the combination of a thriller and romance.

Excellent

I love this FBI couple, Dillon and Savage keep it real. Thank you Catherine Coulter for writing such great books.

Backfire backfired

What did you love best about Backfire?

My husband and I both love to listen to the FBI series on our longer drives and travels - the story was great.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

The major drawback to this book was the narrator. Fortunately our desire to hear the story kept us listening but would prefer not to listen to this narrator again.

Any additional comments?

Looking forward to the British series.

Meh.

What did you like best about Backfire? What did you like least?

The story was one that brought you back to old characters and old friends. Lots of very corny "cop talk".

Would you be willing to try another book from Catherine Coulter? Why or why not?

Maybe

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

Nope

I love Sherlock and Savich!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I have turned many people on to this series. I like the suspence and the characters. I do think that I would recommend a book to the audiobook.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Backfire?

I liked the protection details on Ramsey Hunt, how Eve watched out for him and his family.

What about Jim Meskimen and Deanna Hurst ’s performance did you like?

I think I would prefer to hear a single male narrator instead of the male/female interaction. I found that the dramatic voices were really distracting. I really liked Jim's voice but though Deanna did amazing at differentiating between the female characters, I would prefer just a male voice for this series.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I had no extreme reaction. It was easy to walk away from due to the narration. Emma didn't seem like a regular little girl. It distracted me. Her character didn't seem realistic, too perfect and plastic. I will probably read the next book instead of listen.

Any additional comments?

I don't want to ding this book at all, however I really appreciate honest reviews by other readers. I like that there is no graphic sexual interaction but there is great tease between Catherine's characters. I will always be looking out for the next Dillon Savich/Lacy Sherlock story. Thanks Ms. Coulter for a great series with awesome characters.

Hideous narration

Especially the adults trying to do baby voices - couldn't be worse. I won't finish the book for that reason. I just can't listen to this.
