Book 9 in the Sam Acquillo Hamptons mysteries was another solid enjoyable read.

Spilled Blood by Brian Freeman
Not bad but just not my style, probably wouldn't read Freeman again. Joe Barrett, as always was very good.

Dead West by Bronson Pinchot
Book 4 was OK, the change in narrator was unfortunate and took a lot away from the experience. Would definitely listen to book 5 if it should ever come to pass.

The Shallows by Matt Goldman
Book 3 is very enjoyable, looking forward to the next Nils Shapiro book...
Broken Ice by Matt Goldman
Book 2 is good, really excited by this series in part because of MacLeod Andrews' narration.

True Believer by Jack Carr
Terminal List, book 2 was good macho BS. A little long but good narrator and it sounds good at 2x.
Red Specter by Brian Andrews , Jeffrey Wilson
Tier One Thriller, book 5 was enjoyable. Listened to all 6 in the series, looking forward to number 7. Apparently, they've been contracted to write 7, 8 and 9 - should be good.

Dog Eat Dog by David Rosenfelt
Book 23 of the Andy Carpenter mysteries is just like the previous 22, solid light entertainment.
The President's Daughter by James Patterson , Bill Clinton
Mediocre. High expectations were not met.

Collateral by Brian Andrews , Jeffrey Wilson
The Tier One, book 6 was really good but ended without a resolution.

Midnight Riot by Ben Aaronovitch
Tried several times, had trouble getting through it. It's a little trippy
Troubled Blood by Robert Galbraith
J. K. Rowling is a beautiful writer. Her fifth Cormoran Strike book is, as always, beautifully written. This novel feels like the author diligently did all the background for each of the many supporting characters and then left it in the book. There are so many side stories that the plot gets lost and in the end doesn't feel very satisfying. Some people like books like that. I'd sure love to see what she could deliver in 6 hours vs. 32.

Silent Bite: An Andy Carpenter Mystery by David Rosenfelt
Totally formulaic, the 22 books in this series all follow almost identical plot lines, and yet, I loved this book.
Squeeze Me: A Novel by Carl Hiaasen
Enjoyable but would have been better if not narrated by Scott Brick.
The Cthulhu Casebooks: Sherlock Holmes and the Shadwell Shadows: The Cthulhu Casebooks by James Lovegrove
Probably the worst Sherlock Holmes I've ever come across.
Danger Close by William G. Boykin
The author avoids gratuitous events like have someone walk in just as someone is escaping. The flow of the story is awkward and there are too many references to God & Jesus but the plot keeps moving. Would try the author again, I think this was a first book.

The Order by Daniel Silva
George Guidall delivers and this is one of the best of the 20 books in this series.
Muzzled by David Rosenfelt
Andy Carpenter Mystery number 21 is the exact same formula used in the previous 20 and still delights.

Risk by Dick Francis
Enjoyable but not a top Francis novel. I enjoyed the narrator Geoffrey Howard but would prefer Simon Preble.
The Power Of Now by Eckhart Tolle
Sounds like it's read by Dracula but Eckhart Tolle's observation about the human mind are very interesting and thought provoking.
Incriminating Evidence by Sheldon Siegel
Mike Daley/Rosie Fernandez Legal Thriller, Book 2 is even better than book 1 - will try the next in the series...
Special Circumstances by Sheldon Siegel
Mike Daley/Rosie Fernandez Legal Thriller, Book 1 is enjoyable. Too long but some good court scenes.

Stick by Elmore Leonard
Leonard doing what he does best, characters that you want to hear more from.
Dachshund Through the Snow by David Rosenfelt
Cookie cutter, book 20 Andy Carpenter mystery somehow manages to bring enjoyment.
Tom Clancy Code of Honor by Marc Cameron
Long and slow, would have been much better if 1/3 had been edited out.
Lethal Agent by Vince Flynn, Kyle Mills
Mitch Rapp Novel, Book 18 is OK but the once exciting series has lost steam.
Bloody Genius by John Sandford
A Virgil Flowers Novel, Book 12 continues on it's enjoyable path with returning characters that are fun to hear about.

The Last Punisher by Kevin Lacz
Interesting SEAL team stuff, the author believes he is one of a small percentage of people who is born to kill - he get's relief from it.

To The Death by Patrick Robinson
Final book in series and it's anti-climatic. The series started off excellently and and steadily declined to OK.
