Boring

Revisado: 12-22-24

Do not buy this book! I only got it for book club. The characters are the most narcissistic, pathetic people I have ever been forced to get to know. Kat is married to Matt and Nina wants him. That is the entire story. Kat and Nina are very much alike, social climbers that are only interested In self aggrandizement and affirmation. Nina’s husband William is the only character with any redeemable qualities but he is easily manipulated by both women. I kept waiting for some action that was not predictable but was sadly disappointed. Kat’s narrator has a subtle lisp which is more annoying because Kat’s personality is so off putting. I’m returning this book now!

Enlightening

Revisado: 07-23-24

The author clearly defines the change in FBI culture post 9/11. It is a shame to witness the downfall of a venerable institution, but there is still hope. The author provides facts without bias towards any particular political party, which is refreshing in the current hyper-polarized political atmosphere. I highly recommend this book.

Exceeded my expectations

Revisado: 03-24-24

I enjoy spy novels and this book did not disappoint. I gave the story a 4 because it was not the best spy novel i have ever read. The characters are interesting but there were loose ends. I’m sure they will be tied up in the next meeting of the Martini club.

Do not get this book

Revisado: 03-15-24

This book was selected by my book club. The story is boring and predictable. Poor girl covets rich girls husband for his money and status. I couldn’t stand her whining about her childhood, as if that is an excuse for lying and cheating her way into this unsuspecting family. I only listened to about a third of the book and it was torture.

Twisted tale of murder and deception

Revisado: 02-12-24

Devine is in the sh*t again. There are lots of suspects so pay attention. Sometimes it was difficult to keep track of all of them unless you have the opportunity to listen continuously. But once you get started it’s so good you cannot stop. Some of the characters were obviously distractions to mislead you into thinking they were the killer or killers. The pace in some places was a little slow so I gave the story 4 stars. I didn’t think it was quite as well written as the 6:20 Man. Having said that, I can’t wait for book #3.

Riveting!

Revisado: 12-03-23

This was the best of Ms. Glass’s books I have read to date. You will never guess who abducted the girls. The interesting background stories for each character, made it even more difficult to figure out who was the culprit. I could not stop listening to the story right up to the very end. I like it when there is a clear resolution to a crime. I am not sure I would have agreed with the punishment that was decided on by the group, but it certainly was appropriate for the crimes. You will definitely enjoy this book!

One of the best Baldacci books

Revisado: 11-08-23

I have read many of this author’s books in print and I highly recommend you listen to this one. The narrators are fantastic and the story is riveting, a real “who done it”. I usually figure out who the villains are but this one was a surprise at the end. It was definitely worth the credit. The protagonist was a graduate of West Point and and Army Ranger both tab and scroll in the storied 75 Ranger battalion. Something happens to him overseas that causes him to leave the service. To gain his father’s approval he gets his MBA in finance and joins a large firm in NYC. There are many different stories weaved into this book and each one makes sense in the end. I wish the book had been longer because it was so well written and I wouldn’t say that about all of the author’s books.

Strange stories

Revisado: 10-21-23

If foul language bothers you do not listen to this book. I enjoyed reading about the eccentricities of these geniuses. It shows you, just because you are a genius in one area doesn’t me you’re smart about everything. These people are really surprisingly weird. Fun book, good narration and if you are ready for a change this book is for you.

Long live the Gray Man

Revisado: 10-21-23

This twisted tale of sex traffickers keeps you engaged throughout. Action thrillers are my favorite. The narrator’s voice is exactly what you would imagine the Gray man sounds like.

Riveting

Revisado: 10-04-23

I really enjoyed reading this book, so many twists and turns. Emma was a very compelling character. My only criticism is that it dragged a little bit in some places. The ending was really a surprise. I look forward to reading another one of the authors books.
