One of my ALL TIME FAVORITES!!!

Who was your favorite character and why?

Cliff Janeway is one of the best crime-fighting, police detective protagonists that I have ever read. The character development is teriffic.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes - absolutely!

Any additional comments?

I listen to this book once a year - the characters, the storyline and I have to add that George Guidall is THE MASTER narrator. An absolute knockout combination of great story telling and excellent narration.

Dunning is the Best!

Amazing story, well paced and suspenseful, and the best narrator around! The only problem with Dunning is we don't get enough new books!

I really enjoyed looking at the world of rare books from this author's perspective. I found the mystery good, with just the right twists and turns. I would recommend reading this book before the others in the series. It makes more sense that way.

Enjoyable mystery

If you're a bibliophile and enjoy mysteries, you'll like the series that begins with this book.

Thoroughly enjoyed it!

I was looking for books narrated by George Guidall, and found this one. Thought I'd give it a try, and ended up loving the writing style and story. Mr. Guidall made it a five star audible book. An additional surprise, and bonus, was that it was a free book.
