Great fun, in a scary way

Revisado: 03-18-25

Well written, and unexpected twists that kept you listening to find out the fascinating ending to a believable, while diabolical revenge plot to get even with a scumbag of a guy.

Authenticity

Revisado: 03-05-25

Rare indeed is the person (let alone Vice President) who can see their past and realize that there are flaws, but they make up their current personality and guide their path in life. This book is such a memoir.

Complex but pulls together

Revisado: 01-11-25

Good crime drama, w/ interesting psychological aspects interwoven into the plot - so if you like law drama or you’re a psychology buff you’ll be entertained

A memoir? Brave.

Revisado: 05-30-24

The honesty was /is profound. As a psychology-type (masters level therapist) I was captivated from the start. It’s true that sociopaths don’t garner much empathy precisely because it wouldn’t be well received (sociopaths wouldn’t “care”) and their lack of response would be off-putting to the empathizer unless it was a caring parent or therapist. Having some experience with a sociopath or two, I’m cautious if I suspect this in someone. The only thing I was hoping for was maybe a venture into the possible causes of sociopathy in someone. But the memoir feels very authentic and courageous. Brava!

What’s the saying: revenge is best served cold?

Revisado: 03-29-24

Of course you won’t put it together until the end so I recommend listening fast…. It’s a strange story if you’re a night listener and need to relisten to stay with it…. Truth is, I didn’t like it much until the end. Then your own sense of justice (and or revenge) kicks in and your “glad” the bad folks got their comeuppance.

History at its best

Revisado: 12-30-23

This is my second book of Baier’s and perhaps my favorite! Never mind I attended Grant High school yet never knew how important he was in helping the country heal and in protecting the blacks & their new fragile freedom. Bauer manages to portray the man’s character of strength yet kindness towards not just his family & friends but towards the South & its struggles to manage after the war. Bravo

Be careful….

Revisado: 11-28-23

You might go psychotic for a while, while you’re deep into the book/story. It’s really a journey through the protagonist’s grief. Quite powerful.

Grief can border vengeance but……

Revisado: 11-25-23

Good writing & good ending — seemed like the author had a personal connection to the material. Very realistic in how sorrow can push someone into an obsession …. Well done , let’s have another!

And what comes next?

Revisado: 11-24-23

It was great fun having Bosch hanging & working with Micky and the other favorite characters making their appearances
. Connoly’s a great writer so if you love the Lincoln Lawyer gang and Harry Bosch you’ll love spending time with them all tackling a “lost cause” case like this one. Thoroughly enjoyable!

Best so far

This is the best of the three books that Mahoney has written of this series. It’s full of great twists and raw emotions that get into your heart. Looking forward to the next!
