Members Reviews:
Maybe the Best Billy Boyle Book
This series consistently delivers entertaining and engaging stories. This one adds an interesting backdrop of the Ireland conflict. For further details, see my review of: Billy Boyle: A World War II Mystery.
My only problem with this book
the book is a very good read. I've enjoyed the books I've read. I enjoy the reader. The only problem I'm having with this book is a small one. It comes from fact that neither the reader or the editor are familiar with military nomenclature. The story involves Billy Boyle's investigation into the theft of 50 Browning Automatic Rifles and ammunition. The reader constantly refers to the weapons as BARS. Any person familiar with military nomenclature knows the Browning Automatic Rifle is known as a B. A. R. The letters are pronounced individually. Other than that the book is another good story from James R. Benn. This minor issue will not deter me from getting more books about Billy Boyle. I look forward to the next book by James R. Benn
LOVE Billy Boyle!
Enjoyed all of these by James R Benn....I hope there are more to come! Great period mystery
Boyle Does It Again
Mark Vietor has done a wonderful job once again by reading another installment of Billy Boyle. I love these books. I very rarely find a series that captures my attention such as the works of James R. Benn. With the exception of The Rest is Silence, I've read/listened these books in order, and this has to be my third favorite so far, behind TRiS, and Billy Boyle (Book 1). I am immediately moving onto the next book, hoping that it surpasses my favorites. I have also preodered Blue Madona, the next book in the series, which releases in Sept.
James Benn delivers again!
Perhaps the best of the series at this point. The intrigue is well developed and gives a rare glimpse of life in WWII Northern Ireland and the sad struggle for Irish unity that still permeates the island today.
