Unabridged Audiobook
I like her books but this one needed another CD to finish the story properly. Good for what it was but really needed more loose ends tied up.
I understand you have to get a reader to care about the characters by providing details - wow this really does that for the first couple of characters (rolling my eyes when the narrator reads the 4 year old twins) and the first couple of chapters and then it rolls along at a fast clip and then it ends abruptly. I thought, as I stuck the last CD into my player, how in the world is this going to end with only one CD left? The answer is - poorly! I wish the author would have spent more time wrapping things up - it was like she got bored with the story line and just wanted to get it over with. The scenario is very far fetched - some of the characters that could have been interesting were left undeveloped and I was disappointed when the last CD was over and I had all these unanswered questions. I give it 3 stars, sort of a neutral position. Entertaining in traffic.
Linda Howard is one of my favorite authors; however, she missed the target on this one. The book goes on and on with tedious detail until the end, and then it just ends! It made me wonder if my CD had skipped a few chapters! The male narrator was not very good, either. I love Linda and will listen again, but this is definitely not one of her best!!
So far sooooo good, I need the next set of disc so I can find out who loves whom. Good book, I really like Linda Howard.
