Reviews

VIVA L'INVINCIBLE


(5 stars)

Until the final sentence I still was not sure who was real and who was not. You will surely enjoy this one. Thanks to RK for another fine read.

Four stars for the story, but...


(2 stars)

The story was interesting enough to keep me listening anyway, but Kilmer's reading was just weird, with innumerable & ackwardly-placed pauses and a bizarre cadence.

refreshing mystery!


(5 stars)

wonderfully written and very well read. Almost had me rooting for the bad guy :)

Just the right complexity


(4 stars)

This is an enjoyable mystery, with a good number of plot twists, but not so many that you can't keep track of all the characters or the story. I can't say I was entirely surprised by all of them, but it wasn't so predictable as to be boring either. Overall, a competent storytelling that does not demand too much from the reader.

Another fantastic original mystery story.


(5 stars)

The story is magnificent and the reader is great. I highly recommend this book.

a different kind of criminal


(5 stars)

I enjoyed this mystery very much. There was a bit of humor thrown in. The reader has a pleasant voice that is relaxing to listen to. I've heard him read other mysteries. Thank you for your volunteering which must take a lot of your time.

a good mystery


(3.5 stars)

a little heavy at the beginning but after the death of two men it become attractive, the reader is good and I like him but a bit monotone

Well done Mystery


(5 stars)
