Tracy H. (FiberBabble) -
My first experience with this author. I enjoyed the book more than I expected; the main character doesn't take himself too seriously and the supporting characters are well developed. It's more than fluff, but not so heavy (and depressing)as many mystery/action novels that are out there.
There is some violence, though except for one scene it is not over-described.
One small grumble: I don't quite understand the author's choosing to have the main female character hiss - not just once, but multiple times, usually when she was frustrated or irritated. Is the author a cat person? I'm female. I don't recall having hissed at all in at least the last 6 months. This female is like a leaky air mattress.
With respect to the audio format, each of the 5 cd's had about 85 tracks. One track every 45 seconds or so. That's great when I needed to jump back to hear what a character just said, but a real PITA if I need to stop the cd and then re-find where I was (usually about track 65). That's a lot of >> button pushing.
