Honey, honey!

Revisado: 06-07-23

An unexpectedly treasure of a collaboration! This was my book clubs pick. So I picked it up and fell into an entire world I’d never even gave a thought to. I’m giving lots of thought now and hope I am a person who can appreciate our differences! And accept that I can and should be open to everyone’s story.

New Series Coming?

Revisado: 10-02-22

Enjoyed the interplay of two main characters I suspect there might be more adventures to come. Well written. Look forward to next one (hopefully).

Some thoughts on writing style choice

Revisado: 09-16-22

Long awaited book but reader not up to date on internet lingo or reasons for same in a written story. Can understand difficulty of so many characters introductions if not brought together in sound bite fashion. Reader does not think younger people will be reading long books as their lives are in five word sentences and alphabet letters. Older readers won’t appreciate what are really good mysteries devalued by a cut and paste method. Can only hope future books by the wonderful writer of this series will not be written in this manner. First time ever I’ve been made to feel an old foggy if that’s the way that’s spelled!

Drawn out

Revisado: 03-27-21

Way too much repetition of thoughts from Ellen! Unsatisfactory ending. Reader review a result of a long drawn out piece of writing so not really fair to her. I’ll try to listen to more read by her but won’t bother with books by this author.

The future is now

Revisado: 01-25-21

Unfortunately all too timely in 2020 and 2021 so reader needs to be forewarned. Great series.

What a story!

Revisado: 04-11-20

The worst thing about this book from my perspective is the last word! It means another long wait for the next dept Q novel. If you are reading this review without reading these books in order, you owe it to yourself to do just that!

First of the Harry Hole Series, Finally

Revisado: 11-05-12

If you could sum up The Bat in three words, what would they be?

Developing interesting character

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

The plot did not keep me on the edge of my seat but did provide a good basis for Jo Nesbo's Harry Hole series each book of which gets better and better.

Which scene was your favorite?

The storyline describing Aborigine culture is very interesting.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When Harry bonds with his Australian partner almost at once, I was intrigued by the way Nesbo did this so that I would believe it could happen so fast.

Any additional comments?

Look forward to more in this series.

A great start but that's as far as it went.

Revisado: 09-10-12

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Would not recommend this book as I spent too long getting nowhere with it.

What was most disappointing about Gillian Flynn’s story?

The most disappointing thing was no resolution. Good start, no fizz at end.

Have you listened to any of Julia Whelan and Kirby Heyborne ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I do not think I have listened to either. The reader for the wife's impression on me has been tainted by the character in the book, not by the skills of the reader.

Did Gone Girl inspire you to do anything?

Yes, probably will not recommend this book or this author.
