About this listen

What if it were possible that your most cherished memories were lies... and that finding out the truth could cost you your life?

Richard Kilmer is head over heels in love with Jennifer Ryan, who takes him home to meet her parents, where she accepts his marriage proposal. While visiting, they set out on a nostalgic drive up to Kendrick Falls. On their way, a freak storm rolls in, Richard loses control of his car, and it rolls. When the storm clears in a matter of seconds, Jen is gone. Richard can't find her, and neither can the police who respond to the scene. More horrifying is that no one in Richard's life will even confirm Jen's existence, and all traces of her have disappeared.

Where could she be? Has Richard lost his mind, or has something far worse happened? On Borrowed Time is a stunning new thriller about an ordinary man who is trapped in a nightmare where he can't be certain of anything--not even his own memories.

A good read

Even though I had figured out the basic plot early on in the book, it was a good read. Rosenfeld remains one of my favorite authors

A Bit Too Far Out

I have read practically everything that David Rosenfelt has written. All Andy Carpenter books get an automatic five stars! But this was no Andy Carpenter. I would have given it a 3 1/2 rating if there was such a thing. I felt the plot was just a bit too far out to be believable.

A Thoroughly Good Read!

Would you listen to On Borrowed Time again? Why?

I would indeed. This was a unique book in several ways. The book held my interest and gave me several hours of pure listening pleasure. I re-read books I enjoy quite often. This will be one of the ones I listen to again.

Which character – as performed by Chris Ensweiler – was your favorite?

The main character.

Any additional comments?

A very different plot here...unique...fresh! The storyline absolutely held you in its grip all the way through.

Really liked this book

Some of the reviews I read prior to purchasing the book complained that the main character was so stupid that the reviews did not like the book and couldn’t finish it. I disagree, the protagonist explained that the woman was his very first real and intense love. His failure to recognize some obvious clues to what was taking place in his life was his overwhelming hope for a resolution. It was his traumatic loss and hope that clouded his perspective not stupidity.

I enjoyed this book. The plot was especially interesting and kept me interested throughout the story.

New Cast of Characters

On Borrowed Time started slow and confusiing and then kicked into high gear and finished strong. It certainly kept me guessing. I wonder if we will see this cast of characters in the future.. I liked the line "I could eat the air"

Bravo

I Prefer Andy and Grover

I will continue to be a Rosenfelt fan, but this departure from the Andy Carpenter series did not really thrill me. It was okay. Just ok. To start with the whole "event" was too preposterous. So nothing was really believable. Narration was okay. By the end I got so bored I couldn't keep track of the twists and turns.

Catchy story

Well written, with a lot of clues that would keep you guessing. And the narrator used very clear speech and appropriate voices to the many cast members. It was a fun book. I highly recommended them. It you’ve read any of David Rosenfelt ‘s work, you are hooked on all of his books too as I am. 😊. He’s a fantastic writer!
