Members Reviews:

First rate reading, second rate writing

Would you try another book written by Edwin Alexander or narrated by Alex Jennings?

I chose this book solely because I like Alex Jennings's reading. I would not read another by the author

What does Alex Jennings bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you had only read the book?

He has a very pleasant voice, the expression is good without going over the top, and the dialogue is varied and convincing.

Any additional comments?

This is crime thriller set in four countries, featuring a bit of art, a lot of murder and scene changes across four countries. The main character is Al Hershey, a private investigator with a military past and a cynicism resembling that of many other private investigators in novels and films.

The story is passably interesting for a light read. The writing is decidedly second rate, with none of the characters brought to life except Hershey who doesn't extend beyond two dimensions. The dialogue at times feels juvenile and unconvincing with naive comments and unnecessary explanations. If it was pitched as a teenage crime novel I would have given it 4-5 stars.
