A great start to a new series from David Housewrig

Revisado: 06-30-20

A great start to a new series featuring PI Holland Taylor. This is my first book from David Housewright, it started at an easy pace, gradually drawing me in as characters and the story developed and I got used to narrator RC Bray. When the drunk driver who killed Holland Taylor's family is released and found dead Taylor is initially questioned and decides to look into the circumstances surrounding the death. There are links to a political campaign and as he pieces together the roles, relationships and potential motives of the various people involved more bodies are discovered and it is less clear just what is going on and who is responsible. A well written book with plot twists and surprised right up to the end. This one went into the top tier of my library and I look forward to the next in the series.

I enjoyed this book from Donald E Westlake

Revisado: 06-30-20

I enjoyed my first book from Donald E Westlake and it was well narrated by Brian Holsopple. Centred around a solid gold statue, and various people who attempt to steal it, this is a humorous and thoroughly entertaining book with a surprise ending. If you like Lawrence Block's series featuring Bernie Rhodenbarr you'll enjoy this one too. I put this in the top tier of my library and look forward to the next in the series.

Mankell does it again and narrator Sean Barrett

Revisado: 06-20-20

Henning Mankell does it again and narrator Sean Barrett does not disappoint. This one sees Kurt, and soon to be junior police officer Linda, both investigating mysteries that eventually intersect. Kurt is chasing a sadist whose alarming crimes are escalating while Linda is stood up by one of her friends who has appears to have mysteriously disappeared. An interesting and fast paced book that went into the top tier of my library.

A comprehensive and well rounded book

Revisado: 06-20-20

A comprehensive and well rounded book from Craig Johnson and expertly narrated by George Guidall. Called in to investigate the suicide of a fellow law officer in a neighboring county Walt and his old mentor Lucian soon find things are not what they seem. The Bear and Deputy Victoria get involved and Walt's daughter demands he fly across the country for the birth of his grand daughter just as he is fighting to save his life and the lives of others. I'm a Longmire fan and George Guidall is one of an elite few narrators but this one ended up in the second tier of my library.

A meandering tale riddled with the affable duo's

Revisado: 06-20-20

The fourth in this series by Christopher Fowler is well narrated by Tim Goodman, It is a meandering tale, riddled with the affable duo's foibles, that leads us to a rather obvious conclusion. Fortunately May's grand daughter and the future of the entire PCU are saved when they simultaneously solve a series of historic crimes along with a series current murders. An easy listen if the mood suits. I put this one in the second tier of my library.

Reginald Hill and Colin Buchanan deliver again

Revisado: 06-17-20

Reginald Hill and Colin Buchanan deliver again with the sixth installment in the Dalziel and Pasco series. This one describes a murder investigation involving Gypsies, Ellie Pascoe and some of her acquaintances, a gliding club and enough plot twists, sprinkled with Dalziel's witt to entertain until the end. Another top tier effort from Reginald Hill and Colin Buchanan.

Not quite top tier in my library but a good story

Revisado: 06-08-20

Not quite top tier in my library but a good story. This book by Marc Cameron, and narrated by David Chandler, is set in Alaska with some unusual main characters and some vicious, cold blooded Cartel killers. While I would consider this book a good first effort I would not describe it as gripping or hard to put down. It did contain a lot of elements to make a good book and I will keep an eye on this series.

Enjoying this series again

Revisado: 06-08-20

I am enjoying this series again and Samuel West's narration fits like a glove. In the course of a New Year's Eve murder investigation Morse discovers no-one involved is who or what they seem and everyone has secrets. Once again Colin Dexter has written a mystery full of unexpected twists and turns that kept me interested to the end. A topi tier place in my library.

A good book with good narration

Revisado: 05-31-20

I'm a big fan of David Baldacci, already owning a lot of his books and this one did not disappoint. It is set in 1949 America and features a returned serviceman, Aloysius Archer, who has just been released from prison after serving a sentence for a crime he did not commit. Incorporating period language and terminology with solid character development, this book tells the story of his encounters with powerful men and beautiful women in a small town where no-one is really who they seem. Framed for murder, Archer must expose the hidden secrets of the rich and powerful to save himself. This book was well narrated by Edoardo Ballerini and occupies a place in the top tier of my library. Perhaps this is the start of a new series from David Baldacci?
