Alex Sand was spending the evening at home playing basketball with his two young sons when all three were shot in cold blood. A wealthy federal judge, there’s no short list of people who could have a vendetta against Sands, but the gruesome murders, especially that of his children, turn their St. Paul community on its head. Sand was on the verge of a major donation to a local housing charity, Heart/Twin Cities, and with the money in limbo, eyes suddenly turn to his grieving widow, Margaret Cooper, to see what she might do with the money.

I have been reading reviews, and I have to assume that many readers didn't get the message that Mr. Ferrone passed away. I thought that Robert Petkoff's reading was fine. No complaints. The story was a little slow, and I was unhappy with the ending, but overall, a pleasant experience. Sequel maybe?

Another Winner!

I really liked this book. The character of Holly is engaging, the story is interesting, and the reader is good. I was intrigued to notice that SK used Holly's OCD to drive the action. The ending was no surprise - I was able to guess how the book would end well before it did, but that didn't detract from my enjoyment of the story.

Letty Davenport’s days working a desk job at are behind her. Her previous actions at a gunfight in Texas—and her incredible skills with firearms—draw the attention of several branches of the US government, and make her a perfect fit for even more dangerous work. The Department of Homeland Security and the NSA have tasked her with infiltrating a hacker group, known only as Ordinary People, that is intent on wreaking havoc. Letty and her reluctant partner from the NSA pose as free-spirited programmers for hire and embark on a cross country road trip to the group’s California headquarters.

I have read every John Sandford book and enjoyed all of them - except this one. I read John Sandford books because I love the action and fast pace. I am on Chapter 8, and so far, nothing has really happened. I will probably return it unfinished.

When Charlie is seventeen, he meets a dog named Radar and her aging master, Howard Bowditch, a recluse in a big house at the top of a big hill, with a locked shed in the backyard.

I Loved Everything But The Ending
Reviewed: 09-29-22
I loved this book until the climax and the end, which is why I gave it four stars instead of five. The story was imaginative and interesting. I cared about the characters and what happened to them. I usually listen in my car, and on several occasions had to sit in my car in the garage listening to the book until I got to a part where I thought I could live without knowing what happened next. I wish I could give six stars to Seth Numrich. His narration was outstanding.

Since his wife died, Ralph Roberts has been having trouble sleeping. Each night he wakes up a bit earlier until he's barely sleeping at all. During his late-night walks, he observes some strange things going on in Derry, Maine. He sees colored ribbons streaming from people's heads, two strange little men wandering around town after dark, and more. He begins to suspect that these visions are something more than hallucinations brought on by lack of sleep.

Stop the Music!

It's a good story, but a little long-winded, in that I am not a fan of philosophical discussion or introspection. I enjoyed Eli Wallach's narration when I could hear it over the annoying, ear-grating music.

The story was a little long, not a lot of action. I frequently found my mind wandering and had to rewind to see if I missed anything. The narrator isn't bad, but he mispronounced words (nuclear, escape, deus ex machina, etc.), which annoyed me.

Now, malignant forces seek to possess the button box, and it is up to Senator Gwendy Peterson to keep it from them at all costs.

Reviewed: 02-28-22
I really wanted to like this book. The first book was intriguing, the second was entertaining, but this one drags along with too little action. I frequently found my mind wandering and had to go back to see if I missed anything. Unfortunately, I rarely did. I was also disappointed in the fate of Richard Farris. It didn't seem to fit the tone of the books. A lot of books these days seem to have political opinions interspersed with the story, and I am pretty good at ignoring them, whether I agree or not, so the political overtones did not affect my review.

She calls herself Hope Miller, but she has no idea who she actually is. Fifteen years ago, she was found in a small New Jersey town thrown from an overturned vehicle, with no clue to her identity. Doctors assumed her amnesia was a temporary side effect of her injuries, but she never regained her memory. Hope eventually started a new life with a new name in a new town that welcomed her, yet always wondered what she may have left behind—or been running from. Now, she’s leaving New Jersey to start over once again.

I listened to this book based on the great reviews, but I was disappointed. I found my mind wandering many times while listening, and then having to go back to see if I missed anything important. This could have been a good story, but it seemed to contain a lot of stuff that was unimportant to the story and just thrown in.

Too Much Preaching About Dogs
Reviewed: 10-15-21
I really wanted to like this book; however, I just didn't. The author goes on and on ad nauseum about the greatness of dogs. OK, I get it. Dogs are great. Dogs are better than humans. How about some action? I listen at work and could answer the phone or leave the office for a few minutes and still catch the end of a speech about dogs. I did like the narration. I have listened to books read by Mr. Ballerini in the past, and he always does a great job.

On the evening of November 24, 1971, D. B. Cooper hijacked Flight 305—Portland to Seattle—with a fake bomb, collected a ransom of $200,000, and then parachuted from the rear of the plane, disappearing into the night...and into history. Fifty years later, Agent Pendergast takes on a bizarre and gruesome case: in the ghost-haunted city of Savannah, Georgia, bodies are found with no blood left in their veins—sowing panic and reviving whispered tales of the infamous Savannah Vampire.

Total Disappointment
Reviewed: 08-31-21
Am I the only reader who is tired of Constance Green? This series used to be about Agent Pendergast; however, in the last few books, he has become somewhat of an afterthought. The plot is ridiculous, the characters unsympathetic and the narration is terrible. Please please bring back Aloysius Pendergast. I sure do miss him.
