I love a great series!

Where does Death Song rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

In my humble opinion, there is no better narrator than George Guidall and he's perfect to read the Kevin Kerney series! I may have inadvertently started with the 11th book of the series, but now I'm hooked and plan to "begin at the beginning." I'm anxious to read the prequel, Hard Country, to find out just where Kevin Kerney comes from. This series is definitely worth the read!

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

There were so many treads and more than once I was truly caught off guard!

Have you listened to any of George Guidall’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I often pick a book simply because George Guidall is the reader.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Movies almost never compliment a book so I'd avoid making a movie of these books. I would not want to ruin an excellent set of stories.

Problem with recent update

Another Hit!

Where does Death Song rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Probably around the top 20.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Death Song?

The snow storm and the when they were closing in on a suspect. A good description and feel for what it is like to work in and around the very bad weather that can happen in New Mexico.

Which scene was your favorite?

The scenes between Kevin and his Srgt. Este.

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

There was a death near the end that was so sad and avoidable. All the wrong choices led up to it and it affected everyone.

Enjoyable Story

Well focused and well told, this story makes sense but could have been better resolved at the end.

Good story up until the end

Did not like the ending - almost as if the was a rush to end the book

quick finish

the story was good, but the ending came as if the author ran out of time and just threw in a finish without explaining much about the murderer and motives. I would have expected more of a conclusion.

McGarrity always delights

only thing not pleasing was the ending. the crime was never finally solved. seems like author wanted it to end when Kearny retired. disappointing.

Entertaining, but not enthralling

Solid police procedural without a lot of suspense. Some decent character development, particularly for Clayton Istee, who is the closest thing to a real protagonist here.

There are several major events in the story that are not neatly tied up, which is probably normal for a real investigation.

Not a lot of Kerney in this book, which is unfortunate, since he is a more interesting character than Istee (at least so far).

Disappointing ending

What started out as an engrossing story about a black ops type bad guy killing cops and civilians ended up so anti-climatically that I swore off this author forever. It was like the publisher decided the book was getting too long, so the last couple of chapters that described specifically the personality and motivations of the evildoer were chopped off. Too much in-depth description of trivia also bloated this mediocre police procedural.
