City of Whispers Audiobook

" Disappointing! I was absolutely turned off by the beginning chapters, most of which were spent introducing a myriad of characters. The protagonist's family tree was introduced in detail, boring the reader by it's sheer volume. Turns out Sharon was given up for adoption at birth and now has close relations with both families. And has the very cliched, bad-boy, dope taking brother who shows up asking for her help. I couldn't get into it. "

" Excited to see another Sharon McCone book - number 28 and the series is still going strong. I do enjoy Muller's books but this one didn't grab me like her others. Many of them have me in a "can't put it down" trance and this one didn't. The extended family stories are far reaching and I found myself flipping ahead. However, I will read every book that comes out in this series until my dying day - I do like the character development and following Sharon's life as it has changed over the years. Seems like a l-l-l-o-o-o-n-n-n-g-g-g-g time since I read the first book - Edwin of the Iron Shoes. If you do choose to read these, read them in order!!! "

" Wonderful as all the Marcia Muller books are. Fast pace, and great story telling. Love Kinsey and all of the characters. Would recommend all of her books. "

" It was nice to reacquaint myself with Sharon McCone, I've missed quite a few of her books. I'd like to fill in some of the gaps, and keep up with her a little better going forward. "

" I am enjoying the change in emphasis in this series. I don't think its quite as exciting as the first ones, but the perspective from the person losing his mind in this one and the one in lockdown before is interesting. "

" Always enjoy Muller's Sharon McCone's mysteries. "

" More of a 2.5. I liked it but only because I like the series and I was in the mood for a light easy read. This book is not as good as previous ones. The writing is worse, and the mystery isn't very exciting. "

" Sharon McCone would be my alter ego of choice; Marcia Muller never fails to provide great reading entertainment. "

" Didn't really listen to all of it, slept through some but it was okay. "

" I didn't enjoy this one as much as I usually do her books. Not sure why I didn't. "

" I have followed this series from the beginning and it only gets better... Love Sharon McCone.... "

" I enjoy the Sharon McCone mystery series--good characters, good stories. "

" Didn't like the jumping back and forth between people. Didn't enjoy the brother's thinking. "

" Marcia Muller continues the Sharon McCone series and I still enjoy reading. "

" Told from viewpoints of Sharon McCone, Mick Savage, and Darcy Blackhawk. McCone and Savage are searching for McCone's half-brother, Darcy Blackhawk who is a dysfunctional druggie. "

" A long running series, right up there with Sue Grafton's. Set in and around San Fran. Not the strongest in the series, but good. "

" Good, as usual. I seem to have missed a book though. Anyway, this one is about her half-brother who is homeless and hopeless, and missing. He's also the main suspect in the murder of a wealthy young woman. "

" Like welcoming back an old friend with a new adventure. Just enough twists to be entertaining. "

" Sharon McCone would be my alter ego of choice; Marcia Muller never fails to provide great reading entertainment. "

" I have followed this series from the beginning and it only gets better... Love Sharon McCone.... "

" Not one of her best. Only 261 pages and chapter titles took a whole page each. I always wonder if that's a way to stretch the length out. Writing was choppier than her usual. Her earlier books are much better. "

" I didn't enjoy this one as much as I usually do her books. Not sure why I didn't. "

" I'm always excited to read a new Marcia Muller mystery! These are such a great example of the "tough chick detective" genre. This book in particular didn't seem to do much to move the series along, but it was still entertaining and well written as always. "
