Story
Cassie is sick of dating. It's been 10 years and it's time to find The One. It's either that or buy a fetching habit and veil and abandon the whole thing. But Cassie believes in love, and she's not ready to give up yet. The pressure is on to find Mr. Right, and Cassie's the first to find him: Parker Hamilton. He's good-looking, smart, cultured - and a doctor. Despite his obvious credentials, Cassie's not taking any chances. She's vetted Parker so thoroughly she could offer some pointers to the CIA. Needless to say, he passes with flying colors.

Narration ruins all witty banter!
Reviewed: 03-11-22
This author does cute, witty dialog. This narrator ruins all of it. First off, the general narration feels like someone is trying to zen you to meditation not read a cute funny book. Then, the witty remarks should at least be deliverers in a dead pan, but with a soft upward lilt — it’s TERRIBLE. Maybe the narrator didn’t get the humor? I will NEVER listen to another book by this narrator!

Narration was frustratingly slow. Also, can we get a male narrator? All the men sounded ridiculous rather than romantic

Story
Paint your toes. Pick up the wrong coffee and bagel order. Drive from Brooklyn to Jersey in traffic so slow you want to tear your hair out. It’s amazing all the useless things I can accomplish while on hold for three hours with customer service. Three hours when I should be getting the Date-in-a-Box website ready to launch at the big business expo in a few days. Except my shiny new website is glitching, and my inner rage-monster is ready to scorch some earth...when he finally picks up. Not the robot voice I expected but a real live human named Kal.

Wanted a little more in the end to the story but definitely worth the listen. Female narrator was very “young rom-com” in her narration/ inflection which gets old as it cheapens the writing somehow.

Good concept. Needed to jump around less, lots of going back to explain in the next section. I liked how the characters were real - no archetypes but multifaceted with strengths and weaknesses. I have no ability to judge if the technical details were plausible but satellites were not on my radar at all until this book...

Samantha is a professional seductress and con artist with a heart of gold. If she talked about her work, she’d tell you she only pilfers organs for medical research and that she only takes one kidney, and she only steals those kidneys from dishonest people. It’s hell on her social life. Abe is the doctor and Sam's partner in crime. He isn’t much of a criminal. Except for the kidney stealing. But he’s using that money to fund his research that he anticipates will be able to cure diabetes. So, all for a good cause...? You decide. Of course, it's hell on his social life.

Cute but implausible story at first, fun narration. Story became kind of ridiculously shortened and simple at the end, like the author gave up.

Why the change?!?
Reviewed: 02-29-20
I have enjoyed the writing style of the author significantly for this entire series. Then all of a sudden, first person narrative jumps in the middle of the story. It’s like watching a great action film, and then suddenly you switch to some guy sitting in a chair saying “and then I...”, while you struggle to. It let the campfire tale pull you away from the engaging action.
The narrator is fabulous as always. He is the only thing that made the above bearable. Hopefully Greaney realizes his mistake and doesn’t write the next book like this.l, or this will be my last Gray Man...

Slough House is a dumping ground for British intelligence agents who've screwed up cases in any number of ways - by leaving a secret file on a train or blowing a surveillance. River Cartwright, one such "slow horse", is bitter about his failure and about his tedious assignment transcribing cell phone conversations. When a young man is abducted and his kidnappers threaten to broadcast his beheading live on the Internet, River sees an opportunity to redeem himself.

Difficult beginning
Reviewed: 08-17-19
To my American ears, the narration was very difficult to listen to, made slightly easier to understand by listening at 1.25 speed. The beginning is so full of detailed descriptions that the movement of the storyline was lost. Good storyline overall, but the voice distinctions by the narrator were so poorly done, I had to rewind and listen again (at 1.0 and 1.25 speed) enough to have detracted significantly from this book.
