Dempsey by Brian Andrews and Jeffrey Wilson

Too long. These guys write great but their books are too long and switch from four different stories and it's just wordy.

The K Team by David Rosenfelt

 Story isn't bad but it just doesn't work. Listened with Kelly and all the old familiar characters just don't work with the new narrator.

Midnight Black by Mark Greaney

 OK, the dude needs and editor but his popularity makes it unlikely.

ethal Prey A Prey by John Sandford

 Lucas Davenport and Virgil Flowers join forces to track join forces in the 35th book. Good but not great.

Maximum Bob by Elmore Leonard

 Very good but not Elmore Leonard good.

Four Minutes by Brian Andrews and Jeffrey Wilson

 One of their better books but has a weak ending.

Legacy of the Dead by Charles Todd

 Good but by now you definitely have a pattern in the stories, since the stories are already slow they bog down.

Harvey Penick's Little Red Book by Harvey Penick

 Enjoyable story about a caddy's wisdom. Short and sweet.

Straight by Dick Francis

 Enjoyable.

 Book 3 was another good read.

Wings of Fire: Ian Rutledge by Charles Todd

A Test of Wills by Charles Todd

Book 1 is very good will continue reading series.

American Operator by Brian Andrews, Jeffrey Wilson

A Tier One Story (Tier One Thrillers, Book 4).

 Was good and we got the next one in the series. Macho man.

The Vigilantes by W. E. B. Griffin, William E. Butterworth IV

 Badge of Honor, Book 10 just didn't grab my interest. 

The Red Door by Charles Todd

 I found this mystery very compelling and am excited to try out the next in the investigator Ian Rutledge series.

Tell No One by Harlan Coben

Boring, story strung out.

The Arraignment by Steve Martini

Paul Madriani, Book 7 needed editing, was hard to believe, and not very interesting. Martini is a master of courtroom drama but this had none and I wouldn't read another of his books unless it was focused in the courtroom. He needs an editor.

Eleven Numbers by Lee Child

An fun short story, Kelly and I both enjoyed it.

Burden of the Assassin by David Archer, Vince Vogel

Narrated by: Adam Grupper. Peter Black series, Book 1. Just OK.

Fatal Intrusion by Jeffery Deaver, Isabella Maldonado

Sanchez & Heron , Book 1 was OK, might listen to another.

The Late Lord Thorpe by Peter Grainger

A DC Smith Investigation book 11 narrated by Gildart Jackson was excellent. Best writer I can think of.

Dance Hall of the Dead by Tony Hillerman

Even though it was narrated by George Guidall I couldn't get interested.

The Negotiator by Dee Henderson

The O'Malley Series, Book 1. Nope wouldn't listen to more in the series.
