Early Stone Good Read !

Interesting, a little long, but definitely enjoyable for a Stone fan. Guess it builds on the relationships with Holly, Carpenter and Lance for later books.
Taken out of the series, its one of Woods poorer plots.

Not a bran teaser

I wanted something interesting to listen in my car on a trip; lighter prose works best. This story fit the bill; however nothing here to stretch your imagination or intellect!
Narrator is good and easy to listen to.

Want more

Would you listen to Reckless Abandon again? Why?

This book ended with many unanswered questions. Can't wait to find out what happens next.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Edge of seat, kind of. It kept me on the laughter seat all the time.

What about Tony Roberts’s performance did you like?

Great as usual.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Laughter is always moving/

Any additional comments?

Be prepared to buy more Stuart Woods books. They are definitely entertaining.

A challenging woman with a well-trained dog!

Tony Roberts did his usual great performance with intriguing and often funny material. Holly brings a new challenge to Stone's life, and who wouldn't love Daisy.

Weak link in the Holly Barker series

Books 1-3 in this series were really enjoyable. Well written with a good plot and enjoyable characters. Unfortunately it seems little of that made it into this book. Holly is a completely different person in this book- reckless, foolish and downright annoying .

Excellant

Great character development. Nice way to tie plot to future books.
A few words were unacceptable.

Great fun but preposterous

Lots of excitement but not believable. Too many last minute unrealistic escapes from cold eyed killers.
