Acerca de esta escucha

Sinclair Rutherford is a young Seattle cop with a taste for the finer things. Doing menial tasks and getting hassled by superiors he doesn't respect are definitely not "finer things". Good police work and bad luck lead him to crack a case that changes quickly from a career-making break into a high-profile humiliation when footage of his pursuit of the suspect - wildly inappropriate murder weapon in hand - becomes an Internet sensation.

But the very publicity that has made Rutherford a laughing stock in the department lands him what could be the job opportunity of a lifetime: the chance to work with a team of eccentric experts, at the direction of a demanding but distracted billionaire. Together, they must solve the murder of a psychologist who specialized in the treatment of patients who give people "the creeps".

There is no shortage of suspects.

Enjoyable

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

I thoroughly enjoyed the Wizard 2.0 books (hope they don't stop). However, one issue with those books, is that it's about guys wanting to be wizards, which tbh limits the number of folks who would be interested just on the premise. The Authorities though has a similar comedic/wit element to the Wizard books, but is set as part of a light crime story - which even non-geeks can appreciate. Basically, I'll come across sounding like less of a nerd by recommending the Authorities to folks than the Wizard books, all while introducing them to a great story teller.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Authorities?

The reflection that pedestrians being upset by them *not* being struck by Rutherford's driving his van. Absolutely love the wit of Meyer. I also liked the "laughing, laughing" by Sloan, and the explanation of why Max has three computers.

Which character – as performed by Luke Daniels – was your favorite?

Definitely Max. Although, this may be more because this was a more unique voice since it's not used in the Wizard 2.0 series.

If you could rename The Authorities, what would you call it?

Off to be a Detective

Great book

Wouldn't mind listening to book 2 when it comes out. At some points Vince Cap did make me upset due to how he makes Rutherford act not him self. Over all, it's a great crime book with a smidge tech involved.

I really loved this book.
I'd like to see a sequel or even a whole series of sequels.
If you're thinking about buying this, just jump in.

Meyer does it again!!!

This man has a direct line to one’s funny bone. His books are always engaging, addictive, and hilarious! This book stands apart from his typical genre but is equally amazing in every aspect.

Fun, but not amazing

I got hooked on the "Off To Be the Wizard" series and decided to give this a try. The characters and story are all reasonably well done but, not quite as compelling as the Wizard series. My mind wandered several times when the story slowed.

Wow had a good laugh with this one. Love all the characters. Not what I was expecting.

Average

You are better off listening to the authors other works, not quite as funny as his other material.

Did not enjoy.

Would you try another book from Scott Meyer and/or Luke Daniels?

I've listened to every other Meyer book on Audible, and I go out of my way to get books by Daniels. They're both consistently great. Daniels is even great in this book, but the story and characters are forgettable.

Has The Authorities turned you off from other books in this genre?

Not really, but procedurals aren't really my bag anyway.

Did The Authorities inspire you to do anything?

Sure! It inspired me to think about what audio book I'd pick up next.

Any additional comments?

The book is not without merit, but it didn't wow me. It had a promising setup ("We're trying to form our own private law enforcement, and we need the main character to continue to be a clumsy buffoon so we can spread awareness of ourselves via hits on YouTube and Gawker), but the murder case in the story felt so bland that the premise, in my opinion, wasn't given an opportunity to shine. When I looked at the timer near the end, I was surprised so little of the book left--the murder case is so straight-forward that it felt like a burner, an introduction to the team before the were given a really interesting case.
