Murder in Vegas

New Crime Tales of Gambling and Desperation

De: Michael Connelly - editor

Narrado por: Phil Gigante, Joyce Bean

Sin City. An artificial oasis of pleasure, spectacle, and entertainment, the gambling capital of America has reinvented itself so many times that it's doubtful that anyone knows for sure what's real and what isn't in the miles of neon and scorching heat. Las Vegas is considered the ultimate player's destination, no matter what your game. Almost anything is available - for a price, mind you - and sometimes losers will walk away from the tables with even less than just an empty wallet or purse; sometimes they don't walk away at all.

Las Vegas is the true city that never sleeps, where fortunes are made and lost every day, and where snake-eyes aren't found just on a pair of dice.

No real point to it

This is a group of shirt stories that you hope may connect to eachother in some way and yet doesn't. It is as interesting as reading college essays...one after the other after the other. I had to quit listening

Not for me.

He is one of my favorite authors, so will always read anything he writes. can't live without my audible.

Terrible

Maybe it was the short story format, but this was incredibly painful to listen to. The plots were either overly-dramatized or not really believable. Further, while some of the accents were done well, others were so bad I had to simply stop listening. Sorry, I am a huge Connelly fan, but this was not worth the credit.

I wasn’t expecting several short stories.

Love Michael Connelly. I read everything he writes. Each short story was just as good as his other books but I would have enjoyed longer stories.

Tedious

I love Michael Connelly, but didn't realize this book would have so little of his own work in it. Some stories were good. This was the only audio book I quit listening to before it was done. Waste of a credit.

Boring Pointless Stories

So disappointing.. I wanted to like this book.. I live in Las Vegas.. but its just one boring story after another. Its intolerable. My recommendation is to skip this one.. I asked for a refund.

Not their best work

Would you try another book from the authors and/or Natalie Ross and Phil Gigante ?

Yes, love Michael Connelly.

What was most disappointing about the authors’s story?

It's like most of the stories were trying too hard. They didn't hold my attention.

Great story but Hard to follow

The book is great but only for a long drive, I have read every book of his and just didn't get into this one.

Very disappointed. No point to it. Why put your name on this junk.

Refund please. Shameful to put your bane on pike of junk. No point. Nothing meaningful here. Move on.

Nothing

This is a series of bad short stories really bad bad bad bad bad bad bad
