About this listen

Butch Karp has never shied away from a difficult case, and when Croatian terrorists hijack a plane and kill an NYPD bomb squad cop in a bomb blast, he’s eager to prosecute the high-profile killers. But Karp’s aggression puts him at risk when his investigations uncover messy government secrets. Certain elements of the FBI and CIA don't want the trial to go forward, and are willing to go to extremes to sabotage Karp’s case. Mired in local bureaucracy and international intrigue, only Karp’s dogged determination - along with the help of his crime-fighting partner and girlfriend, Marlene Ciampi - can once again deliver justice.

STill Works

Though published in nineteen eighty nine,other than no cell phones, this could have been published yesterday. There’s even some laugh out loud humor.

I laughed to tears!

The narrator has the characters down pat! Al though a lot of background and information, it is good and so worth a listen! Reading wouldn’t be as much fun!

Enjoyed it very much

It's old but timeless politcs. A good story performed. Believable characters. It's an entertaining story that is part detective and part DA and Court room drama.

Enjoyable Series

This is great escapist writing. It isn't literature. It isn't a documentary (at least, I hope not). People do things and get away with things that would never match a real life story.

However, there are characters, some of whom are real "Characters!". There are some funny scenes, and some sad ones. There's humor, backstabbing, manipulation and loyalty. There's love, friendship and family.

Just dive in and enjoy some time away from reality. Have a little fun. Don't overanalyze the plot (there are a few weaknesses, but no glaring holes).

I'm off to read the next one now.

Traber Burns was very good with the delivery of the story

Not so much

Usually enjoy the butch Karp series but this one was very long, obvious, and the interaction between Butch and Arlene was silly. There was no real connection expressed by the dialogue or tone. Sorry.

Depraved Humor and Intrigue

Carp and Champi are fun characters. Tannebaum knows how to twist a story and make the reader laugh out loud. I’m two into the series and starting the third as soon as I post this. Traber Burns is excellent.

Wow! Entertaining and educational.

This is an interesting story especially when comparing today's attitude toward hijacking planes, politics, bombs and terrorists versus 1976. It was definitely educational, but humorous and entertaining.

ROFL!

This is a farce. Nope, not an indictment, a definition. Whoever wrote this book, and there's a bunch of controversy over that (Was it someone named Tanenbaum? Does anyone named Tanenbaum exist? Was it some guy named Michael Gruber? Does he exist? My head's going to explode... Go Google 'em and you decide.) But I digress...

Listen to "Depraved Indifference" as a slow-starting, over the top, jump the shark, broad and blue-humored FARCE! Do that and this book's fun. Oh, it's dirty as a 1970s Red Foxx at work in a smokey grownups' supper club... Adult stuff. And if you watch life through a PC filter... Don't... I'm warning ya'.... DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS BOOK! You will be sooooooo offended that you will become incontinent for weeks.

Me? I'll probably get the next book in this series :-}

Excellent story line

This was an exciting and enjoyable journey with the Karps. Suspense up-to the last 10 minutes. Recommend the journey.

Horrible narration

What did you love best about Depraved Indifference?

It was a good book, but the narration was horrible.

What did you like best about this story?

Good story

Would you be willing to try another one of Traber Burns’s performances?

I have already purchased book 3 before I heard book 2, so I have to listen again to this horrible narrastor

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

steer clear
