Close Case Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Trouble with giving stars: can't give it 2 because there are other novels that I've given 2 stars that I liked much more than this one, however, giving this one 1 star, according to this rating system, means I didn't like it. I finished it; it wasn't great, but to say I didn't like it is not exactly fair. It certainly isn't a favorite and I'm not going to read any other of her crime novels because there are just too many other books out there to read that I'm sure are better but she did write some amusing lines and she was trying to give us some idea of how the whole justice system works. Unfortunately for those of us who don't really get some of the inside stuff and abbreviations, etc. it just became rather tedious (would rather watch Law & Order, the Closer, etc. for that information). In addition to that, the mystery itself wasn't all that interesting. "

" Awesome read, I will keep my eyes open for more of this author's novels. "

" My second Alafair Burke book in as many weeks. I guess I must like them! "

" The story was pretty good. The reader was not. "

" I can't wait for her to write more books! "

" This was book 3 in the series but I didn't feel like I missed anything. I liked the characters and will go back to catch up on the other books. "

" This was almost like an extended Law and Order episode. I love murder mysteries and it's no James Patterson, but it was pretty good nonetheless. "

" Burke continues to write enjoyable mysteries with characters I can care about. "

" Interesting legal thriller, detailing interaction of police, district attorneys, and news media. Alafair Burke knows legal detail almost as well as John Grisham. "

" This is my favorite of the Kincaid series. I felt it had the most suspense. Enjoyed reading it. "

" The third in Burke's Samantha Kincaid series, and I was right: her writing gets better, and this is much more tightly and neatly plotted than her first book. Definitely a keeper in terms of series reading. "

" Okay mystery but took too long to get going and then ended with only a so-so satisfying conclusion. Maybe if I'd read the first few Samantha Kincaid mysteries I would have felt more invested in her story. "

" Another good Samantha Kincaid story. This one kept me guessing until near the end. It was interesting to read about the fine line between obtaining information legally and illegally. In the end, she has to form beliefs that are true to her legal training. "

" Samantha Kincaid #3 "

" Very spellbinding! Almost writes better than her dad. "

" Samantha Kincaid has a nose for corruption within authority . . . and she isn't hesitant about hunting down the source of the often yucky scent. "

" a very good suspense novel. Even with all the legal terms, it brings you along to a spectacular finish. "

" I'm so glad to have discovered Alafair Burke! "

" This wasn't my favorite, although I enjoyed the other two Samantha Kincaid. "

" i really liked alafair burke's first couple. this one, however, kind of sucked. "

" Yet another one in a series, good read, interesting twists and mystery. Good female main character, human but smart. Some of the relationship bits are tortured but.... "

" A perfectly serviceable mystery with some good local color (haven't all PDX'ers stood cheek-by-jowl with others in the cramped entrance to Papa Haydn?), if not particularly stellar - I'm left feeling like Kincaid and her pals are a bit slow on the uptake much of the time. "

" Pretty good outing. I can see her getting better and better. And I was glad to see Chuck Forbes exit. Hope it stays that way. "
