Having listened to Tom Wood’s spectacular Victor the Assassin series, I had to get an introduction to Mitch Herron, so I purchased Steve P. Vincent’s three-book series. Narrator Tom Jordan, also showed off his vocal talents in Christopher J. Lynch’s One-Eyed Jack Box Set (on my schedule for a second listen). Per usual, Jordan never..

The ending was not what I expected. Most of the book felt contrived and not easy to get through.
Review from Head Like a Hole →
Lots of ewww, not much plot, predictable end. Not bad, but not really that good, either, and the “explanation” for the events broke all my suspension of disbelief.
Review from The Black Farm →
There’s an idea here that I really like but it is SO poorly executed, I caught myself rolling my eyes within the first chapter.

A lot of the dialogue was corny, the characters felt flat, and the plot progressed at a..

Superficial characters and only basic, pop psychology insights into childhood trauma. This author didn’t seem to like his characters very much.

You think you know what is next? Or maybe you think I have heard this before? You are wrong…I listened to the story and am still not sure I believe the ending. Will trip up every scenario you think is happening. But…same Ole droning of reading can be a downer. No emotion, or inflections just..

OMG!!!!! this was the absolute WORST!!! Save your credit and time from your life. I should have stopped. I HATED the narrator he read as if he was on tranquilizers soooo slow it was horrible. Thought I’d adjust to the slowness of his read. NO!!!! And onto the story was absolutely the stupidest boring story..
