In the late 90s, a bad cop killed a good woman and DC Homicide Detective Marty Singer got to watch as the murderer walked out of the courtroom a free man. Twelve years later, the victim's daughter comes to Marty begging for help: the killer is stalking her now. There's just one problem: Marty's retired...and he's retired because he's battling cancer. But with a second shot at the killer - and a first chance at redemption - Marty's just found…a reason to live.

Would you consider the audio edition of A Reason to Live to be better than the print version?
No, I wouldn't consider it better. I both listened to and read the book and also whispersynced it. There are good aspects to both just reading and just listening. I get a bit more of the urgency of this type of story when I just read and I can certainly read faster than the narrator. But the narrator does bring the words to life. So, it's really fifty-fifty for me.What did you like best about this story?
I liked the character of Marty Singer the best. Julie and Jim were good characters, too. Amanda, although the story centered around her, was not as dramatic for me as the other three. But Marty really tops them all. He's not so much the cynical ex-cop as a man on a mission. It's what he's been doing for over thirty years and forced retirement along with chemo and cancer are not going to change that..What does Lloyd Sherr bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Lloyd Sherr's voice and expression were so perfect for this story that I was drawn right into it. He's also the voice for Modern Marvels on The History Channel, but once I knew that, I didn't find it distracting at all. It actually added to my enjoyment of the narration.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
If my time wasn't so limited, I would like to have listened for longer periods.Any additional comments?
I see the next book isn't available on audio yet. I'm assuming it will be so I will watch out for it.A good detective story with a great narration

It is a solid detective story, if a little predictable. The 'cancer' aspect of the novel was very informative and written neatly into the story; The author seemed very knowledgeable about the subject, and empathetic to the hero's predicament.
The narrator's timbre was appropriate for a gruff, worn-out cop.

What did you love best about A Reason to Live?
I loved the book when I first read it - a crime fiction story with a twist. A retired cop, fighting cancer, re-opens an old case. I was so excited to find it an audio version finally. Mr. Sherr does a great job narrating the story - so now I have a voice for my mental vision of Marty Singer. (You might recognize his voice - he does narration for Modern Marvels and the History Channel.) The narration was well-paced and voiced.Which scene was your favorite?
I loved the opening scene where Marty meets Amanda, and the scenes with Julie Atwater scenes are great.Any additional comments?
If you like crime fiction, but are tired of the wrote whodunit, then try Marty Singer out.At Last - a Voice for Marty!
