A review by rellimreads
Plum Island by Nelson DeMille A Novel

3.0

I don’t know how to write a review on this. It’s weirdly offensive and compelling at the same time. Way too long (20 hours!), yet I listened to it all and can’t pinpoint what to cut out other than 70% of John Corey’s banter. I’m not against long audios - I have many, many that are this length that I loved every minute of. This was not it. I liked the “bones” of the plot and murder investigation. Unfortunately the pacing was hindered by weird conversations and actions that didn’t help the story move forward.

Even the ending felt meh and slightly anticlimactic.

Just looking at the length of book 2 (24 hours) has me dropping the series here.

This review is much more articulate than mine:

Narration:
I’m pretty sure Scott Brick is the reason I finished this.
