Acerca de esta escucha
A darkly comic noir about a chicken living in a world of anthropomorphic eggs who's wanted for a murder he didn't commit.
Life is tough for an embry. Considered a vestigial organ at best and a parasite at worst, chicken embryos are usually aborted by the egg folk early in life. Once in a while, one survives and slips through, hatching into an embry, an ostracized, lower caste anthropomorphic chicken. They have their own ghettos, and are barely tolerated by polite society. Our hero wakes up one day to find that some upstanding citizens have been scrambled. The king, his horses, and his men are now after our hero for a crime he did not commit and proving his innocence is going to be nearly impossible. Thank goodness he's armed with spurs, or the rotten eggs prowling the alleys of this strange grocery item city would fry him good. Delving deeper and deeper into the mystery, Embry uncovers his own bizarre background and finds he is hunted by a secret society who revere the most famous egg of all time, the very egg he himself emerged from the Great Fall.
From the author of Boiled Americans and Party Wolves in My Skull comes a dystopian crime story that will have you asking: Which comes first, the chicken or egg?

Historia
Number-one New York Times best-selling author Harlan Coben set huge sales records with last year’s Six Years - and he’s poised to do it again in his next breathtaking stand-alone thriller. Harlan Coben, author of six consecutive instant number-one New York Times best sellers and a total of 24 award-winning, best-selling, and internationally acclaimed novels, returns with another ripped-from-real-life thriller full of impossibly high emotional stakes and the real-to-life characters for which he has become famous.

P.I. Wyatt Thomas is more than a French Quarter sleuth. Much more. Whenever a new client needs someone to investigate ghosts, possession, or the paranormal and supernatural backside of New Orleans, Wyatt is the person they call. Someone is killing New Orleans street people, and it is affecting the tourist trade in the venerable old city trying to recover from Hurricane Katrina. More than murder, voodoo is involved, the killer possibly an actual Vodoun deity.

There are some odd things about Nate’s new apartment. Of course, he has other things on his mind. He hates his job. He has no money in the bank. No girlfriend. No plans for the future. So while his new home isn’t perfect, it’s livable. The rent is low, the property managers are friendly, and the odd little mysteries don’t nag at him too much. At least, not until he meets Mandy, his neighbor across the hall, and notices something unusual about her apartment. And Xela’s apartment. And Tim’s. And Veek’s.

A resident of one of LA's toughest neighborhoods uses his blistering intellect to solve the crimes the LAPD ignores. East Long Beach. The LAPD is barely keeping up with the neighborhood's high crime rate. Murders go unsolved, lost children unrecovered. But someone from the neighborhood has taken it upon himself to help solve the cases the police can't or won't touch. They call him IQ. He's a loner and a high school dropout, his unassuming nature disguising a relentless determination and a fierce intelligence.

Finally! Something new and original ;
- De Midwesterner en 11-29-16
De: Joe Ide
What made the experience of listening to Embry: Hard-Boiled the most enjoyable?
The story hits all the expected marks for a classic detective story and the egg/fowl world is treated with a completely straight approach - that makes the puns and jokes all the more fun! All the different characters were really distinct and separate, very clearly characterized in both the writing and the narration.What was one of the most memorable moments of Embry: Hard-Boiled?
The scene with the monks chanting is spooky and creepy - and then as you realize they're reciting Humpty Dumpty in Latin it's pretty funny.Which scene was your favorite?
The opening scene is so perfect - cops kicking down a door, our man the private eye is baffled, makes a run for it, leaving the dopey cops flat-footed and scrambling. It could be straight out of a Bogart movie.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I don't really ever listen all in one sitting, so it's not a fair reflection on this book. The story does truck right along though - clear, easy to follow, moves briskly from plot point to plot point. It is certainly the sort of book a person could binge.Any additional comments?
Love all the character voices!!True-to-form detective story AND fun parody!

Would you listen to Embry: Hard-Boiled again? Why?
No...I rarely listen to anything more than once...nothing against the story. I'd love to listen to this narrator again.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes...it was fun and action packed so it held my attention. The egg jokes are silly but it has enough of a story to keep you interested. It's fast paced which helps keep the story moving.Fun noir style crime book
