Against the Wind: A Novel

Highbridge Audio, 1992

An absolute KNOCKOUT!
It is almost hard to believe that this is a debut novel - it is that outstanding. It is completely first-rate, with powerful characters, fabulous dialogue(albeit, quite raunchy & graphic) and a frightening plot that grabs you & won't let you go. I could not put it down, which is saying alot, because I read books in this genre constantly. I can't believe it took me so long to come across this ...

Farewell, My Lovely

Raymond Chandler

Random House Audio, 1985

A Lyrical Must-Read
According to Wikipedia, FAREWELL, MY LOVELY (1940) was Raymond Chandler's second novel and created from three short stories--"The Man Who Liked Dogs" (1936), "Try the Girl" (1937), and "Mandarin's Jade" (1937). This makes a lot of sense to me, since Chandler's great creation, Philip Marlowe, seems more like a character from a short story than the deep and complex creation that a great novelist ...

If you liked the movie, you'll love the book
Did the movie leave you begging for more? Well, there are the sequels, but this story is the strongest one, and the book gives you all the extras that would never fit into one film. Get the book and many of the side stories that were only touched on in the film will suddenly spread out before you in full detail. Definitely a gripping and enjoyable read.

Top notch historical fiction
I had an urge lately to get a feel of what it must have been like for my Father when he was in the U.S. Amry and fought in the Solomon Islands and the Phillipines in WW2. I'll never really know as he never did speak much about it all. This book may have given me a glimpse. It is very well written, very vivid, and hard to put down. I'd say buy it and you will not regret it later. If the actual ...

Good book
We have always enjoyed Jeffery Deaver and I think we have read all the Lincoln Rhyme novels. I wish they would come out even faster. I would recommend this book to all Deaver fans and to anyone looking for a new mystery writer to follow.

My favorite of the serise
Take a sarcastic on agian off agian burgler and add one lesoban dog gromer. For good measure also add a halfway honest cop and a cat named Raffels. What you get is a really fun serise of mystery books that will always hold a special place in your heart. in this particular edition of the serise berny Rosenbar is doing all he can to resist the temtation of breaking and entering. When a new ...

Taut, tense, and terrifying
Bobby Rayburn, the best hitter in professional baseball, has just signed on with the Boston Red Sox, an act which most believe will ensure the team a pennant. There's just one problem--early in the season, Bobby becomes mired in a slump of epic proportions. Gil Renard is also in a deep slump. His life is a shambles--he's lost his job, his ex-wife won't let him see his son, and he's drifted ...

Spenser On His Own
First--I did this book on unabridged audio CD. Joe Mantegna is amazing as Spenser on the audio books and he outdid himself here. This is rather unusual as a Spenser novel because Susan is gone and Hawk is not in the book. Spenser takes on what appears to be an open-and-shut case involving two teenaged students shooting up a school--outside Boston. As always, Parker's books are ...

Rum Punch

Elmore Leonard

Random House Audio, 1992

A Great Mixture of Humor and Crime
The first thing I have to point out is that 'Rum Punch' was adapted to the big screen by Quentin Tarantino for his film, Jackie Brown. With that in mind, it is very difficult to separate the two. In the beginning. Once you get beyond the fact that the two are only passingly similar, then you can really get into the book. Somehow, the characters in Leonard's novel are more treacherous than in ...

In addition, a retired cop shares some information to Sachs concerning her father. This book also involves cops on the take, more murders and clocks. Also when something goes wrong on the case that Sachs is the primary on, she ...

Judge & Jury
The audio book shipped fast and was packaged very well. The prices are always good at Amazon also. I will continue buying products from Amazon. The book itself was great. I already had it in hardback but bought the audio for my husband to listen to while traveling back and forth to work. Patterson usually comes out with great books and this one was no exception. When I started reading, I ...
