Title: The Good Lieutenant
Author: Whitney Terrell
Narrator: Jeffrey Kafer
Format: Unabridged
Length: 7 hrs and 17 mins
Language: English
Release date: 06-07-16
Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc.
Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 9 votes
Genres: Fiction, Contemporary
Publisher's Summary:
The Good Lieutenant literally starts with a bang as an operation led by Lieutenant Emma Fowler of the Twenty-Seventh Infantry Battalion goes spectacularly wrong. Men are dead - one, a young Iraqi, by her hand. Others were soldiers in her platoon. And the signals officer, Dixon Pulowski. Pulowski is another story entirely - Fowler and Pulowski had been lovers since they met at Fort Riley in Kansas.
From this conflagration, The Good Lieutenant unspools backward in time as Fowler and her platoon are guided into disaster by suspicious informants and questionable intelligence, their very mission the result of a previous snafu in which a soldier had been kidnapped by insurgents. And then even further back, before things began to go so wrong, we see the backstory unfold from points of view that usually are not shown in war coverage - a female frontline officer, for one, but also jaded career soldiers and Iraqis both innocent and not so innocent. Ultimately, as all these stories unravel, what is revealed is what happens when good intentions destroy, experience distorts, and survival becomes everything.
Brilliantly told and expertly captured by a terrific writer at the top of his form, Whitney Terrell's The Good Lieutenant is a gripping, insightful, necessary novel about a war that is proving to be the defining tragedy of our time.

Avoid this narrator and this book
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
A very good narrator could have made this an okay listening experience, but the story was very hard to follow because of the way it was told. It begins with the climax to the story and then fills in on relationships and characterizations with stories of what happened in the past. These stories are not told in an order that I could understand, but maybe it was that the narrator was so bad, I couldn't/wouldn't/didn't pay close attention.
What could Whitney Terrell have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Tell the story in order of the events as they happened.
Would you be willing to try another one of Jeffrey Kafers performances?
