In summary, it's a story about lies and secrets and one woman's quest to find out the truth and the consequences of her doing so. It starts off well, drops in the middle and gets going again towards the end. There are twists but I found them quite predictable. The characters are an interesting bunch and not particularly likeable and I have to admit that I wasn't particularly upset when one of them met an untimely end!
The narrator did a good job but I just found this book not particularly memorable or 'thrilling' but many have so give it a go.
Thank you to Bookouture Audio and NetGalley for my copy in return for an honest, unbiased and unedited review.

Eleanor (1463 KP) rated B is for Burglar (Kinsey Millhone, #2) in Books
May 29, 2019
Another outing with the independent PI Kinsey Millhone. This time she is approached to track down the missing sister of Beverly Danziger in what appears to be a straightforward case. It quickly starts to look a lot more suspicious when even the sister herself doesn't seem to want Kinsey to get to the bottom of the matter. A lot of different threads appear for Kinsey to try and unravel.
I found this book to really get bogged down in minor details and excessive descriptions of every little thing, making it a bit of a drag. The strong female lead was wasted on a bit of a drawn out story line, I felt it lacked something to keep the reader engaged (descriptions of egg sandwiches just doesn't cut it).
Written in the 80s I do love the nostalgia of a world pre mobile phones, saving the “battery died” line most books feel the need to throw in now. I also like having a female protagonist that doesn't get bogged down in a romantic relationship storyline which seems to be a habit in crime books with a female lead.
Kinsey has a good level of dogged determination and we were given numerous avenues of investigation to explore keeping the mystery engaging (although her missing an obvious clue which seemed totally unfathomable for her or any PI to miss drove me a little potty.). The main let down with this book though was the ending where it just seemed to go off the tracks a bit with unnecessary risk taking and crazy plot device.
The audio-book is a nice easy listen so I’ll probably continue on with Kinsey in that format.
Whatchareadin (174 KP) rated The Target (Will Robie #3) in Books
May 10, 2018
Will Robie and Jessica Reel have been called upon again to defend their country. And, as usual this is going to be a difficult mission. This is a little different though because they have to go back through training before being deployed. Why? Well, the DCI, Evan Turner, wants them to prove their loyalties to the country. He is still having a little trouble trusting them after their last mission.
Meanwhile, in North Korea Yie Chung-Cha is preparing for a mission of her own. Raised in a labor camp in Yodok she made the way out by killing her own family and performing for the Supreme Leader. She is preparing a retaliation move on the United States for a foiled plot.
Another great book by David Baldacci. He has me on the edge of my seat again. Wanting to know what is going to happen next. I have listened to the other books in this series and was a little disappointed when the gunshots and explosions didn't jump off the page. The audio versions of the Robie books have actual gunshots and explosions that will have you ducking for cover.
This installment of Robie series, gets deeper into Jessia Reel's past, has appearances by Super Agent Vance, and Julie Getty. This story was like an unusual roller coaster ride. It takes you up gets you all excited and then the excitement dies down all to be drawn back up again. I hope there is going to be more from Robie and Reel, because they always keep me on the edge. The excitement is contagious and I can't wait for the next book.
