Who would read this?

Revisado: 09-02-24

This is what happens when you follow Audible recommendations. Remember, they are interested in profit.

But if you prefer senseless body counts over developed characters and rational plots, here you go.

Contrived

Revisado: 07-24-24

some technical errors, which I was surprised to see in a Patterson story, and it seems unlikely the Bobsey Twins will develop a following. Wiseass back-and-forth between them annoys rather than informs, and it took a lot of time to move the plot forward. congratulations to someone for their knowledge of technology in criminal investigation, but even people who aren't investigators will have a hard time suspending disbelief here. Definitely not a Michael Connelly piece.

narration doomed this book

Revisado: 07-13-24

I might have been able to slog through the 1950s-style PI wisecracks but the adenoidal narrator trying to sound tough kept making me think of the East Side Kids being played by the Little Rascals.

Can someone tell me if I should give another Crais book a chance?

Great listen!

Revisado: 05-17-24

Listened to all episodes non-stop and was impressed, even though I'd read the story before.

Whoever put Doris Day at the end: Genius!

Hey, Tony...sorry...Anthony:

"How're you getting on with the next book? The new Hawthorne." We need the sixth in the series.

Even Hawthorne was annoyed with the lengthy set up to this fifth novel, but the information is essential and the wait is worth it. When Tony...sorry...Anthony...begins his first-person presentation, you will know you're back in the world he shares with Hawthorne. I could not turn it off.

Spots of Brit sarcasm that raised guffaws from even a Yank like me embedded in a plot that never ceases turning...superb!

As for the future, there's good news in the acknowledgements.

if you really love tennis it's probably for you

A bit self-absorbed, even for an autobiography. If Trump played tennis he would have written this book.

Sigh, have to wait a year for another good listen

Revisado: 11-08-23

Amazing how an author can so skillfully blend such a well-defined cast for over two decades of exquisite literature. Thank you, Mr. C. Anyone who has listened (and re-listened) to the audio series would know the characterizations of all the narrators are spot on. I am surprised to read negative comments about Peter Giles. He has been a long, strong contributor and articulates the way I think his characters absolutely would sound.

By the way, was anyone else raising their eyebrows when "all good things must end" came up twice?

I wish I'd seen the film. That way I would have only wasted two hours.

contrived

Revisado: 11-07-23

Expected more from the author. Hard to imagine anyone appreciating the self-involved whiny, prissy protagonist and I had to force myself to finish this book.

Did not know SK could write anything outside of horror.

But there's plenty of horror in "normal" life, isn't there?

Also...thought it was nice to hear Harvey Keitel (uncredited) as Nick.
