212: A Novel Audiobook

" I have really enjoyed the first three books in the Ellie Hatcher series, and look forward to more. "

" A mediocre whodunnit. Nothing to write home about. "

" I sometimes sound like a broken record, but once again a book with a favorite character-----Ellie Hatcher, NYC police detective. Very good story/mystery. This author also has another character called Samantha Kincaid, which I also like a lot! "

" Ok, I'm hooked now on Ellie Hatcher. On to the next one! "

" Fun! A nice change of pace. Very similar to Richard Castle's Nikki Heat. Now I just have to catch up in the right order! "

" I would probably give this 3.5 stars if I could. I downloaded it on my Kindle for $1 and started reading it before I realized there were other previous books in the series. I don't feel like I missed any story by not reading those. The book was a little slow in the middle, but at the end it picked up and had some twists. The major twist was one I would have never guessed so it kept my attention. I'm not sure if I'll read the others in the series. "

" ABOUT 25% THROUGH THE BOOK I REALIZED IT REALLY BUGS ME HOW SHE EXPLAINS PRACTICALLY EVERYTHING SAID IN CONVERSATION BY STEPPING OUT OF THE CONVERSATION AND EXPLAINING IT IN EXPOSITION. SO DISTRACTING!! I ENDED UP NOT FINISHING IT. IT SEEMED LIKE SUCH A WASTE OF TIME. I ALSO CANCELLED FURTHER BOOKS OF HERS I HAD ON REQUEST AT THE LIBRARY. "

" 2.5 because I was surprised by the ending, but for the most part this was pretty predictable albeit entertaining and a fast read. "

" Not as accomplished as James Lee Burke at this time. "

" I really enjoyed this book! It reminded me a lot of James Patterson's Women's Murder Club (minus the club). It was a definite page turner and I loved all the twists, turns and connections. "

" One word to describe Miss Burke's writing--Murky. "

" Alafair Burke has created a very likeable heroine in Ellie Hatcher. 212 is straight from the headlines as seemingly unrelated murders involving high priced call girls and the bodyguard of a wealthy mogul turn out to be linked. Good reading! "

" Free Friday book - good read :) "

" Not my usual genre of literary fare, so my review probably doesn't mean much. :) "

" This book was a page turner until the very end! A must read! "

" Will check out this author's other books. Absorbing mystery with interesting characters and plot twists. "

" Good story but tended to be confusing because of all the characters, some going by two differnt names. "

" I really enjoyed this book. Even though this was #3, I didn't feel left out since I hadn't read the first 2. It was a real page turner and I can't wait to read #1 & #2. "

" This book has more twists and turns than a mountain road. I purchased it for .99 cents as I had never read any of her books. This book was excellent. "

" an enjoyable, fast-paced read. My first encounter with detective Hatcher. I would subtract a half-star for the fairly obvious social ills content the author adds to the narrative. "

" I've enjoyed Alafair's Ellie Hatcher's homicide detective series. Another interesting read. "

" I thought was a pretty good book, lots of suspense. "

" It was a good, quick read. A few more twists and turns would have kept me more engaged. "

" Good mystery .... a little tough to follow plot because of so many characters but good. "

" 8/10. AM enjoying this series - this story was quite complicated, well it was to me anyway! But still enjoyable! "

" I enjoyed it but it wasn't quite the cliff hanger the reviewers suggested it would be ... still, I enjoyed reading it. "

" I enjoy this author very much. I have enjoyed her father's books as well, James Burke. Her main character is a woman cop. She is not a rule breaker as most woman are portrayed in many books and on TV. But she is tough enough to get the job done. "

" I sometimes sound like a broken record, but once again a book with a favorite character-----Ellie Hatcher, NYC police detective. Very good story/mystery. This author also has another character called Samantha Kincaid, which I also like a lot! "

" This was a pretty good book. A nice page turner, kind of predictable. But I would like to read more of the author. "

" Very interesting book. The plot wasn't rocket science, but the characters were well developed. Loved the detectives and the brother. Nice play between them. If I could have given 3.5 stars I would have.... "

" an enjoyable, fast-paced read. My first encounter with detective Hatcher. I would subtract a half-star for the fairly obvious social ills content the author adds to the narrative. "

" A great, hard to put-down story with believable characters and a fast pace. I'll be checking out more of her books! "

" Well told, suspensful story set in NYC, touching on celebrity, escort services, internet privacy, and more. "

" One word to describe Miss Burke's writing--Murky. "
