A thriller which lacks credibility and falls short on depth. There a loads of better thrillers on the shelves.

Thoroughly enjoyed this latest offering from JLB. Wonderful narration by Will Patton. Dave Robicheaux has to clear his name after falling off the wagon and blacking out after an alcoholic bender. Everyone should read a Robicheaux novel, better still, listen to one.

Score 7.5/10

Not as good as other thrillers by an author who I generally recommend. After the death of the six year old boy that she is looking after and with no memory of what happened. Enough to keep me reading though

“I have the feeling many people wouldn’t like this noir thriller. It has some disturbing descriptions in it. If you have read or watched Audition by Ryu Murakami then you are approaching similar Japanese, no punches pulled thriller.
The lead character who it’s hard to like, incapacitates important businessman and Politicians and photographs them in uncompromising situations, this is held in a database to wield the threat if they don’t tow the underworld line of power. Things go wrong…
A weird 6/10

Score 6/10
