Excellent reader

Revisado: 03-30-25

I wish Gerard Doyle read all of this author’s books. Loved the backstory/earlier story for the Slow Horses series. Left me wanting more. Guess I’ll have to start back on Slow Horses again.

Very interesting story

Revisado: 03-28-25

I did not like the reader. More suited to a romantic story rather than this kind of book. She has a pleasant lilting voice but it ruins the story for me. I had to turn it off frequently to get a rest. Much prefer the Slow horses reader.

I liked Maddie in the story

Revisado: 10-28-24

Didn’t like the gruesome descriptions of the victims. This is the first book EVER of Michael Connely, and I have all of them) that I found disappointing. I don’t think Bosch would have been ok with the badge scheme. Hope the next one is the old Bosch again.

Using a well known disaster in the story.

Revisado: 01-16-24

I was really disappointed by this story. I had such great expectations and I feel let down. It was contrived and unconvincing.

Saccharine reading

Revisado: 01-17-23

I purchased the Kindle version because I couldn’t bear the reader. Like being in Kindergarten and being read to by a teacher. Some of the info is helpful but I can’t continue listening. No refund either since I purchased it.

Disappointed for the first time

Revisado: 11-22-21

Story was interesting at first, but in the third part it became boring. The reader has a pleasant voice which makes me tune out. Too little Bosch and way too much Ballard. I rally didn’t like Ballard's cavalier attitude about the shootings.

First time I was disappointed

Revisado: 10-30-19

I’m embarrassed to say, I didn’t enjoy this one. Embarrassed because I’m a huge Connelly/Bosch/Welliver fan. I just found the story boring for the first time. Most loved the book and I’m in the minority. I was rehearing Black Ice (starting the series over for the fourth time) when Night Fire came out. I still better than most other thrillers but I guess I expected more. But I will keep reading anything coming out from this author.

One of my favorite bios

Revisado: 01-26-19

I didn’t know much about Alan Arkin, other than that is a great actor. I knew nothing about his spiritual journey and I found it utterly fascinating. Loved the reading by Mr. Arkin. So glad I had I chance to listen to this book.

Performance ruined it for me

Revisado: 10-26-18

This was the first Michael Connelly book I didn’t want to listen to. I tried but gave up after a while. This one Ill have to read in print. I’m so glad, Audible decided to engage another reader. I didn’t really care for Len Cariou because he seems to spit out his words even when there is no drama. But he is 10 times better.

Gory details and sound effects and way too long

Revisado: 10-24-16

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

Maybe somebody who doesn't flinch every time a sound effect goes off in their ear (especially when wearing headphones as I do)

Would you ever listen to anything by David Baldacci again?

Yes! Because I enjoyed Absolute Power very much. I had seen the movie long ago and wanted to read the book. I'll just pay attention to the reviews next time before I get one.

What three words best describe Ron McLarty and Orlagh Cassidy ’s voice?

Ron McLarty was fine but the female voice wasn't necessary.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Disappointment, boredom and inability to finish the book.

Any additional comments?

So sad, I was really looking forward to listening to this book but I guess every author has to have a clinker now and then.
