Couldn’t bring myself to say anything critical

Revisado: 09-06-20

The story was silly, and campy. My wife asked me if I was listening to an audiobook or a cartoon.

As negative as that sounds, the book was extremely entertaining. Not entirely unlike listening to a Douglas Adams book.

Honestly, as I was writing this I tried to take a star off because the story was silly but I put it back. I tried to take a star off because the performance was cartoonish, But I couldn’t make myself do it because it fit the style of the story.

Refreshingly accurate and entertaining

Revisado: 08-27-20

I did not hold out too much hope for the story, expecting it to be like a bicycle manual written by a fish. It was obviously written by someone with first hand knowledge or mad research skills. As soon as Slim Jim said “Figure out what 2600 means “ I was hooked.

It got the technology right and did some period name dropping like Captain Crunch (John Draper), and demonstrates social engineering accurately.

A bit slow and no DD Warren

Revisado: 04-12-20

I expected this to be book one of the DD Warren but she was very peripheral to the story. I found the plot interesting but a bit plodding.

Not what I expected.

Revisado: 08-18-19

I completely misjudged what this book was about. I thought it was supernatural horror (not my cup of tea) and instead it was actually my one of my favourite micro genres: Mystery with a damaged but kick-actually female lead.

A have every other audiobook by Jana Deleon and finally tried this series. So glad I did!

Unexpected Surprise!

Revisado: 08-10-19

I was surprised that a new Nikki Heat novel was released and so glad I stumbled upon it. I snapped it up, and immediatly stopped the book I was listening to and played this instead. I am pleased that Richard Castle (and Rook and Heat) did not die with the show.

The book is true to form, and a great performance. It is a must-listen for any Castle fan (duh!) but also for any fan of the micro genre (procedural detective mystery romance with a strong female lead).

Although there are some continuity issues with this book (after Heat's mom and she is captain but before a certain character's death?) It's not the first series to have this issue. In Death had a book with a pregnancy, vacation, and promotion out of order - because two books were being written at the same time.

I hope this is a harbinger is more to come!

Oh wow!

Revisado: 03-25-19

I can’t believe I listened to this whole book so fast!

This book was thoroughly engaging, well performed, with characters you care about. I couldn’t stop stealing moments to listen.

I was afraid to start because of the length, coincidentally not dissimilar to the main character in the book.

Of course now I want to read/hear the book written in this book!

I wanted a snack and got a meal

Revisado: 02-06-19

I snatched this as a snack to tide me over on the painful wait for the long delayed audiobooks for the last two Fortune books. Instead of a snack I got a nice tasty meal!

I loved the story, the characters, the voices, so much that I was sneaking time where I could to listen to more of this book such as cooking and installing software updates, eschewing TV shows and even putting off listening to a new book in my all-time favorite series that dropped while I was in the middle of this book.

I am fan of romantic crime dramedies and a sucker for a smart, kick-butt female lead with an attitude and this book scratched that itch. Some people might gripe that it is a bit formulaic but if you love the genre then you enjoy that. You have your crime and your meet-cute... strap in and enjoy the ride.

Not what I was expecting

Revisado: 01-12-19

I thought this would be a crime novel but it turned out to be a documentary. I was impressed.

It was very well done, and engaging. Research seem thorough and not sensationalized. In fact, it was refreshing when it even pointed out that a the story was not going in a particular direction, to deliberately quell any such speculation.

Nice finish to the mini trilogy

Revisado: 09-25-18

This book is the finale to a trilogy of novellas, but it is also all three knit together into a complete book. At first I was annoyed at paying for two stories I had already paid for, but it was worth it to have the complete saga from beginning to end.

I like the story from the very beginning, I have been following it since the initial release of the first story. This was a satisfying conclusion, filled in the blanks, and a great performance.

Maybe too good

Revisado: 08-20-18

It’s quite something when the worst thing that you can say about a story is that is too good.

The characters are engaging and the story is captivating. The performance keeps you in the story and makes you care about the characters.

I could not stop stealing moments to listen to this book.
