Excellent story & glimpse into a Jewish household.

What did you love best about Sanctuary?

My first Faye Kellerman book & I bought it on a $5 sale solely on the recommendations of other readers. I'm glad I did. It was a well structured, clean, and educational plot. The Deckers lead me through the twists & turns of a police detective story on two continents.

What did you like best about this story?

The glimpse of the Jewish household and viewpoints of the characters leading to the resolution of the mystery.

What about Mitchell Greenberg’s performance did you like?

The voices of the different characters were well done and the story was well served by the narrator. I believed the characters.

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

I wanted to continue listening. Yes,yes,yes.

THREE VENUES ADD LUSTRE TO OUR DETECTIVES

Mitch Greenberg has become a true favorite of this afficianado. Many readers/actors have entertained, and Mr Greenberg hovers about very pinnacle. He is a master of all aspects of his craft.
After a couple of not-so-well-enjoyed stories, Dr Kellerman re-acquaints us with her excellence.
One recommendation: Peter, Rina, and Marge need not be perfect, or prescient, in solving every single aspect of the case.

Good story meh narrator

I really wanted to love this but I can't get past a like. It wasn't horrible and I finished it, but the female voices of the narrator were cringe. Otherwise mostly okay.

Narration👍 Plot👍

Decker and Lazarus are superb in Sanctuary. The Israeli accents are wonderful. Faye Kellerman knows how to tell a story!

Right turns wrong turns

The incredibly powerful ending that completed the intricate web of a fascinating trade and the powers that rule it—the diamond trade

Riveting Go-To Series

What more can I say other than: it was great!

The more I move along the series, the more I just love it! I’m diving into Book 8 right away.

Thank you Faye Kellerman for providing me with a terrific go-to series!

another diamond

I was very disappointing in book 6, so what a joy to return to the series and find that book 7 returns to form. Ms Kellerman's series is entertaining and educational. I continue to love the glimpses into the world of Orthodoxy. And now I also got to learn more about the diamond industry. This has been my favorite aspect of the Decker/Lazarus series.

I will say that if you want a gripping, suspenseful, hard-hitting mystery -- this series will likely disappoint. But if you like character driven stories Ms Kellerman's books are a great choice.

An okay read.

What did you love best about Sanctuary?

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

No.

Any additional comments?

None.

Faye Kellerman Grabs You & Won't Let You Go

Rina Lazarus gets into the thick of things again. Twists and turns keep the reader off balance. As usual it is difficult to guess the end.

The Lazarus' have unexpected house guests- the next thing you know Rina and her Detective husband are hip deep in an international crime ring.

Excellent read.

Entertaining and Educational

I chose this book/listen because of its setting-an Orthodox Jewish family/community. I found
it an enjoyable way to learn.
