Can't listen to this if you're a major Castle fan
Reviewed: 12-20-22
In my opinion the reading/ voices/story was bad.
I LOVE the show Castle. I find myself picturing the characters of Beckett, Esposito & Ryan being in these books (obviously, that was what Rick Castle was doing, basing his book on them), but they just don't come across well. If you've repeatedly watched the show you'll hear things in these books that are plots, storylines, similar comments as in the show, but having watched so many times, it's like listening to bad actors play out one or more of the episodes.
also not a fan of this "reading" I prefer listening to Brits, so when it's an American reader, I hope to hear more style and character than this man delivered.

Too much to track, a bit boring, political agenda
Reviewed: 12-08-22
In my opinion it had too much going on. I could'nt keep track of the characters. It's basically pushing political agendas against big pharma and or vaccines. but it's just not enough to keep you interested in the plot.

When a 19-year-old boy, Jamie Mills, is found hanging from a tree in a local park, his death is ruled a suicide. Detective Kim Stone’s instincts tell her something isn’t right—but it’s not her investigation, and her temporary replacement is too busy waiting for the next big case to be asking the right questions.

Not my fav of the collection, but ok
Reviewed: 11-30-22
I love this series, and all characters. This particular storyline just didn't keep my focus the way others have. It's a good story, but I found myself losing track of who is who and what was going on. I do hope there are many more books ahead and would love to see this become a TV show. The group reminds me of my favorite show Castle.

Panic is a legendary game played by graduating seniors in the middle-of-nowhere town of Carp, where the stakes are high and the payoff is even higher: After a series of challenges ranging from sleeping in a haunted house to running across a highway blindfolded, one winner takes home a cash prize in the tens of thousands at the end of the summer. Participating players are sworn to secrecy, which means little is known of Panic’s history. Until now.

it's pretty weak as far as suspense/ thrillers go. Too many characters to keep track of and it doesn't keep your interest.

boring boring and too much going on

it is so slow, there seems to be nothing to help a listener "concentrate". I felt like as soon as she stopped talking about a person, I'd already forgotten who it was and we're on to the next forgettable character. it was just difficult to get into or follow. I didn't go past 32 chapters.

Narrator's voice is great and transitions characters well. Storyline is decent, I could figure out the killer, but that didn't matter. Main character has a good background story.
