The Deep Dark Descending

De: Allen Eskens

Narrado por: R.C. Bray

Homicide Detective Max Rupert never fully accepted his wife's death, even when he believed that a reckless hit and run driver was the cause. But when he learns that in fact she was murdered, he devotes himself to hunting down her killers. Most of his life he had thought of himself as a decent man. But now he's so consumed with thoughts of retribution that he questions whether he will take that last step and enact the vengeance he longs for.

On a frozen lake near the US-Canadian border, he wrestles with a decision that could change his life forever, as his hatred threatens to turn him into the kind of person he has spent a career bringing to justice.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Eskens infuses the old this-time-it's-personal trope with raw urgency, righteous indignation, and enough scorching action to melt every trace of the Minnesota snow in his finest hour to date." ( Kirkus, Starred Review)

R.C Bray: outstanding narrator. Story: good

R. C. Bray could narrate the phone book and make it seem to have an interesting plot. I bought the book because I'm a huge Bray fan, but the story was actually pretty good on its own. The characters are fleshed out enough for the reader to care about them, and the structure of the story keeps it engaging even though we essentially know how it ends (the action begins in the present moment and then flashes back and forth). Overall, I was entertained and recommend this book for anyone fond of this genre.

Max is back!

I really enjoyed the next installment in Eskens' series...please don't make us wait so long for the next one!
it's nice to find a great series that takes place in 'flyover land' and very nice to be able to read an author who knew the real legal world of criminal defense (Eskens has a J.D.).There are twists and turns to keep a reader guessing and Max is an easy character to care about.

I couldn't stop listening!

I finished this book within two days. It has you hooked within the first chapter.

Great story

I really enjoyed the story as it played out. Love Minnesota mysteries and this is as good as a Sandford novel

Not my favorite in this series

I have enjoyed the rest of this series. This book I just really couldn’t connect.

The ending

Was not very exciting. Typical story line and was kind of boring. Good for sleeping though!

Poor Performance

The narrator nearly ruined this book for me. His overdone growl of a voice was painful to listen to. Hearing him repeatedly pronounce "fillet" incorrectly was even worse. The story was okay but quite dark.

Justice is served!

I listened to this book mostly because of who narrated it. RC Bray is my favorite narrator. The story was excellent and well told. I would listen to more stories based on the character Max. This was a very good detective novel and kept me guessing. Michel's character was exactly what I would expect and his part in the book really made you question who was telling the truth.

The best of the series

Although this is not the last book in the series, this is it for me. Best ending on a story I have read or listen to. The author truly carries you through events in a masterful way and the narrator did an amazing job in its delivery. Fantastic listen!

Sneaky

This book is Grrrrrreat! He had me going in circles at one point I thought I hadden been paying attention. It will more than keep your interest.
The narrator brings this book to live. Five go!d stars indeed.
