Quintessential whodunnit

This is full of the twists and turns, ups and downs that make whodunnits so enjoyable. Initially I got it because I love most everything narrated by George Guidell . I was not familiar with the author. Now that I am, I’ll be looking for more titles by him.

The Complicated Character of Laura

I have listened to other books in the Cliff Janeway series. Cliff is an entertaining character who likes taking risks, has a sharp tongue, quick wit and sarcastic bent. The story moves at a steady pace and keeps the reader eager to listen to chapter after chapter without a break. George Guidall does an excellent job narrating the story. I was hooked from the first chapter.

This is a great mystery and a real,page turner

The five novels in the Cliff Janeway series are among the best ever written. They get better and better through the series.

Good story line

Most of the Bookman series have been good books. Nothing outstanding, just really good listens.

not the best

the first two in series was good . this was just words no heart.

Twists and Turns

I really love this writer and and I love his Cliff Janeway character more. Also there is no better narrator than George Guidall. Get all the books in the series; they are wonderful from beginning to end.

Engaging

I read this many years ago and became addicted to Dunning's books. I regret that he doesn't write more. If you like books and like adventure you can't ask for more.

Signed but a second edition

I have read all of the Janeway series. This has been my least favorite so far. I have another yet to go but I was a little dissappointed. The story was good. The theme was good. The ideas were good. Everything was good. I just really have a high standard and expect great.

Unconvincing

I really enjoyed Dunning's first 2 books. This started well, but the ending just wasn't convincing. I felt taken advantage of.
