A good "beach" book or lighter detective/mystery series. The reader for the audio books is really entertaining and captures the quirky Kinsey Millhone. Good descriptions of scenes and characters. Sometimes predictable, but always a fun-read.
I think the three books in one is a real good deal. I am a big fan of the Sue Grafton detective books. So I prejudiced from the start on this review. Get it and I expect you will like it as much as I did.
This is my first experience with books on CD. I like listening to them in the car on my commute. But I have to say that I feel these 3 books on disk are some condensed version and not the complete book. I cannot say for sure because I have not actually read the printed version but the CD for each book only lasts about 3 hours.
Once you've heard 'one' story...you practically have heard them all. The endings didn't necessarily seem logical - just came out of the blue - like - ok - gotta end this thing. I didn't even finish two of the stories. just my take.
I bought the collection to listen to while we were traveling, the part of the story I could hear sounded like it was a pretty good story BUT there seemed to be something wrong with the disc, couldn't get disc 5 to play at all, and part of the other disc would not play. I think there are 9 disc in all but I haven't gone any further then disc 5. I was rather disappointed with the set I received, it may have gotten damaged in shipment as the top of the disc box was open, it wasn't packaged very well.
i have listened to these many times. i was thrilled to get them on cd. great great stuff! definitely worth the money. D is for Deadbeat is my favorite here but all three of them are first rate. Kinsey Millhone is one of my most beloved characters!
We love to listen to audio books when we travel. Sue Grafton is an excellent writer. We have several of her Alphabet Murder series, and plan to fill in the rest with the excellent prices on these Gift Collections. Thanks !
I have enjoyed all Sue Graftons' books and they are all good. She keeps your attention and interest all through the book
