Move over James Patterson cause Brian has got you beat. Hard to put down and I find myself wishing Brian would write faster or I could read slower. His novels leave you wnating to read more. Fast paced, good plots, with plenty of twists and turns.

Goodreads review by Tim The Enchanter

My bad luck with audiobooks continues. At least I made it about 40% through this time. First off, the narration was below average. It was not bad enough to make me abandon the audio.

Quotes

“Barrett deftly handles the rapid-fire dialogue, believable plot shifts, and wide variety of voices and accents. In dusky, appealing tones, Barrett turns Freeman’s deliciously decadent diversion into compelling listening. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.” AudioFile

“The suspense mounts as Stride and Dial each face personal demons while delving into Sin City’s past…Highly recommended.” Library Journal

“Freeman depicts his characters well, especially the good-natured Stride; his cop girlfriend, Serena Dial; and his partner, Amanda. Freeman has crafted a strong narrative, rife with sex and violence." Publishers Weekly

“What sets the author apart are his rich, complex characters…Recommended for fans of Harlan Coben, who will enjoy the compelling cast and swift, sinuous plot.” Booklist
