Fantastic Read

I couldn't stop listening to this book. Andrew
Klavan is maybe the best story teller that I have
ever heard or read. You will want to listen to the
books in order: Dynamite Road then Shotgun Alley
then Damnation Street.

very impressed!

I knew nothing about this author, but took a chance based on the preview I listened to. I really enjoyed the characters, the suspense, and the fact that the characters all have their own faughts. I really enjoyed the author as narrator and I plan to listen to his follow up to this book next.

To help you survive the Klavanless week

Great book, definetly worth the listen. Klavan's narration may be your only hope at surviving the DW Klavanless week.

It's an interesting story and though it encompassed several perspectives it was easy to follow along which can sometimes be difficult in audiobooks. I'm looking forward to starting Shotgun Alley, the next in this series.

Awesome!!!

Love Klavan. Loved this story. Well told by the author himself. I almost couldn't put down the iPhone. But, unfortunately I had to when the 3 year was in the room (language). Otherwise, great story, and well told. Looking forward to other audio books from Klavan.

Gripping taut crime thriller

The master of action and suspense, Andrew Klavan has done it again. His plotting and prose is endlessly rewarding. His performance of narration and characters surpasses that of most professional actors. I cannot wait to listen to the next in the series. I also found his performance of his book Empire of Lies and Michael Knowles performing Klavan’s Another Kingdom books almost impossible to “put down.” Perfect for binge listening!

One sitting listening

Well worth the listen. Plot twists, not so much, plot amazing executed. Enjoy the detail. Dialogue like I am there. Able to know a minor character in a paragraph like a good friend. Best one so far.

Excellent

The story is great, the performance is better. I see people giving this book poor reviews because of fowl language and talk of sex. If those things bother you, the book is not for for you. But those things are reality, and how do you pull someone into.a story that doesn't resemble the world we live in? Klavan has a really good way of telling stories the way reality and the narrative requires them to be. Great book.

First rate writing

Truly engaging story telling and characters. Klavan's writing is at a level most writers can't touch.

Fun listen

Very intriguing. I love trying to put together all the pieces ahead of the book but the author does it so well he gets there before I can even though all the pieces are staring right at you.

mind blown

loved the twist and turns of this adventure. loved the cliffhangers. I want more of this. about to start the next book in the series.
