Renee Ballard is terrific!

Revisado: 11-03-24

I love Harry Bosch novels - and the addition of Renee Ballard is great! It was really terrific to have the actors who play Harry and Maddy Bosch in the television series actually read their parts. Hurry up, Michael Connelly - we need another case!

Word geeks, unite!

Revisado: 10-05-24

Please tell me this is the first in a series! I read a review that compared Maggie Moore to Lisbeth Salander, and they're not wrong - although, perhaps not quite as damaged. Maggie is smart, snappy and....a sentence diagrammer! Her partner in crime detection, Jackson, is a middle-aged policeman whose special skill is an eagle eye - literally - his vision is particularly sharp. They're a terrific partnership. Get writing, Stella Sands - I need to know what happens next.

A most beautifully written mystery

Revisado: 08-13-24

I was sorry for this one to end. These characters were just who you want to read about. It's a mystery, it's a love story, it's a coming of age story, it's a story of redemption. And, Edoaardo Ballerini has, once again, been the perfect reader!

Dumb storyline

Revisado: 05-15-24

Clearly this genre is not for me. Life is too short to finish this book.

I'd go hear Norman in any comedy club

Revisado: 04-21-24

This is the feel-good book of the decade! Norman is a delight, Sadie has the fear of every mother and they're both "adopted" by a delightful elderly man who becomes their fairy-god father. And, Katherine Parkinson is a perfect narrator! Oh, and Jax will really never be gone.

A narcissist, albeit, a lovable narcissist!

Revisado: 02-18-24

Bahni Turpin made this story! Skye is funny, looking for love, and self-centered. She's lucky enough to have friends who love her in spite of herself and she even comes to like herself.

Not a likeable character in the book!

Revisado: 01-26-24

Marin Ireland's narration is perfect.

I suppose there really are people this entitled - of course there are, we've all encountered them (or at least read about them). And, yet, I was compelled to keep listening.

This story will lift you up

Revisado: 03-26-21

If you loved "A Man Called Ove," (and, I did) you will truly enjoy this novel. The characters are truly characters and delightfully wonderful. There's the nutter of a grandmother, the dad going through what can best be described as a midlife crisis, and the teenaged daughter who merely wants to fit in. By the end, I wanted to be a part of this family.

You think you know what's going to happen....

Revisado: 03-24-21

but you'd be wrong. This is a great book. A book without any particularly likable or redeeming characters, but what characters they are! There's the writer; there's the assistant; there's the editor. It's a quick listen (seriously, listen to it at 1-1/2 - it lends a certain frenzy to the story line) and you won't be able to turn it off.

Not a likable character in the book!

Revisado: 03-20-21

Just know, if you have to like a character to enjoy a book, this one is really not for you! Me? I just like well written, character driven novels - and this one has it in spades. Definitely a psychological thriller and interestingly enough, turns out just as you hope it will - well maybe. Each character is fairly well fleshed out, with your loyalties being tested as to who you think you like (well, got that wrong, didn't you?) and in the end, you'll question whether you really want to go to that next college reunion.
