henrismum's review against another edition

challenging dark emotional tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? No

3.0

Take away: Another good story, but it was impaired by Hammer's reading. Block has used several narrators during the series and Hammer paled in comparison to most of the others. His inflections were off and some of the characters didn't come out well.
Narration: Mark Hammer - a competent and probably a good narrator, but see above

I could not wait to be done with this book.
Average, but better than anything I've written.

bizarro's review against another edition

Dropped off in chapter 6/18. Just SO slow with the narrator. Felt unfortunately generic in a world of thousands of episodes of NCIS equivalents. Story wasn't compelling enough to keep me when my detective is dull as dirt.
