Andrew Vachss
In this thriller, Andrew Vachss's renegade private eye teams up with a lethally gifted avenger to follow a child's murderer through the catacombs of New York, where every alley is blind and the penthouses are as dangerous as the basements.
Fearfully knowing, crackling with narrative tension, and written in prose as forceful as a hollow-point slug, Flood is Burke at his deadliest - and Vachss at the peak of his form.

There is a bit of dated-ness to the story (boomboxes, etc) and a bit of 80s stereotypes (pimps, etc) and an overuse of the term "freaks" for pretty much everyone in the story other than the main character and his buddies. Not saying that there aren't a lot of freaks, but... it was a bit excessive that Burke would run into so many in the course of his activities.
The story had the resolution you'd expect it to have and the plot moved enough that you're never bored waiting for something to happen, and the author kept his personal politics to a minimum...
The narrator was pretty good - he did different "accents" which were, for the most part, pretty good and all the characters voices were distinct so you always knew who was talking.
Not quite noir, not quite Bond, not quite 4 stars

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
I like the various mix of characters and hope to see more of them. Didn't really like the standard (in too many series) description of the amazing martial artist that apparently live only to assist the main character - also pretty predictable group of bad guys - but remember this was written before so many used the same computer (confused also with telecom) genius living deep in the ground. And the poor dog never got any exercise so how could he stay in shape. But what the heck this is fiction and once I got into the first few chapters I didn't stop till it was done. So I liked it a lot, warts and all.What about Christopher Lane???s performance did you like?
I loved the change in voice for mama! Sounds like a lot of my friends from years gone by. good voices changes without making me forget the story.Was Flood worth the listening time?
Yes - most likely will listen to it again in a few years.Pretty good - I will try some more of the series.

Where does Flood rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
I've read some of the books by A. Vachss before and how they came about. I love the HORROR genre but this fiction mirrors true horror. Sends shivers up my spine how things like this really happen.What was one of the most memorable moments of Flood?
One the more memorable moments was when the author describes how innocents can be manipulated to the dark side of drugs and prostitution.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I would have loved to listen to it in one sitting but then it would have been over sooner. Nice and slow makes a better story.Any additional comments?
I look forward to continue the saga.Fiction Mirrors Reality
