Story5 out of 5 stars 4,966
The scene in the West Village studio appears to be classic crime-of-passion: two wineglasses by the bed, music playing, and a young sculptor named Ariel Byrd with the back of her head bashed in. But when Dallas tracks down the wealthy Upper East Side woman who called 911, the details don’t add up. Gwen Huffman is wealthy, elegant, comforted by her handsome fiancé as she sheds tears over the trauma of finding the body - but why did it take an hour to report it? And why is she lying about little things?

Story5 out of 5 stars 4,916
While Eve examines a fresh body in Washington Square Park, her husband, Roarke, spots a man among the onlookers he’s known since his younger days on the streets of Dublin. A man who claims to be his half brother. A man who kills for a living - and who burns with hatred for him. Eve is quick to suspect that the victim’s spouse - resentful over his wife’s affair and poised to inherit her fortune - would have happily paid an assassin to do his dirty work. Roarke is just as quick to warn her that if Lorcan Cobbe is the hitman, she needs to be careful.

Dorothea, Stick to Writing
Reviewed: 11-18-18
I love, Love, LOVE DBF's books. I've wanted to live in the Low Country ever since I started with Sullivan's Island. The characters are real to me. As someone else said in a review of another book/author, I wonder throughout my day how the characters are doing. I swear after listening for hours, I'm going to speak with a southern accent every time I listen to the books. Dorothea, dear, sweetie, honey...DON"T read your own books. Please don't. Not sure if Robin wasn't available or WTH happened, but please just don't do it again. I'm not going to list my complaints. Get the book. Enjoy the story. Hear Dorothea as the female lawyer. Don't let her reading style deter you from enjoying the story. AND...I'd like to hear a "Return to Pawley's Island---flesh out the abused wife's career and life after.

The narrating didn't match
Reviewed: 11-30-16
Previous narration had been so good. Threw narrator for this book sounded too much like a sweet little gramma reading a story at bedtime. Took awhile for me to overcome the voice to enjoy the book. Almost didn't finish it, but I did. Glad I did.

If you could sum up Killing Floor in three words, what would they be?
Action. Thought-provoking. Educational.
Which character – as performed by Dick Hill – was your favorite?
the barbers
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It did keep me on the edge of my seat waiting for what came next.
Any additional comments?
It took some time to get used to Mr. Hill's narration. He has an interesting cadence to his speech. There were some phrases & cliches that were over used. Some explanations of particular thoughts, actions, were over-told. I got it after the first explanation, definitely got it after the second, annoyed by the third. Will continue the series a bit more after recommendations from my friend and another person who loves, loves, loves the books.

It was ok.
Reviewed: 03-13-09
The book was short, sweet, and christian based. Predictable. The narrator did an excellent job of making the characters and setting easy to imagine. I didn't hate it. Didn't love it. Good for a short trip. Maybe a bit convicting spiritually.
