Dead Connection Audiobook

" This is the second Ellie Hatcher book I've read, even though it's the first in the series. I read two in one weekend and that might have been the problem. Maybe it was the distraction of Hurricane Sandy... or the ads for a new Bond film on TV ... either way, I got lost somewhere in all the characters and thought I would just ride it out and enjoy the story, knowing Ellie would live to be in future stories. Embarrassing as it is to admit, I am still not 100% sure who did what and why, but it was a bit like the first time I saw a sci-fi movie... just go with momentary confusion and hope that good triumphs in the end. I like Ellie and her brother, and look forward to more of the series. Just not too many at once;) "

" Just finished this one. Its a bit predictable but this is her first novel and i think it was well done. It kept me reading. "

" Entertaining, for the first book in a new mystery series. I particularly enjoyed the connections that the main character, Ellie, shares with her family. It makes her seem real. "

" I needed something light to read in between heavier things, and though I didn't expect much from this book, it surprised me. It's quick, easy, and captivating. I've been a fan of the author's father, James Lee Burke, for a long time, and in a fun nod to her dad, Alafair Burke actually includes a brief conversation between her detective, Ellie Hatcher, and her father's most beloved detective, Dave Robicheaux. "

" A fun and fast-paced NYC murder mystery involving online dating, credit card scams, Russian heroin dealers, and a whole lot of plot twists. Not gruesome or chilling, although there were several murders. "

" A really good book! Especially good for those who like mysteries/crime reporting, etc. "

" This is a good detective series, unfortunately I started at the third book. I'm backtracking now. "

" Liked it in general but thought it was overly convoluted to tie it back together at the end. "

" I like ALafair's books, she's my new found replacement for James Patterson seeing as I've read most of his books and was missing having them to read..... This book was an eye opener to understanding more about identity theft using email....a crazy world out there "

" A page turner by the daughter of one of my favorite authors, James Lee Burke. Will definately be reading more for this author. "

" I read good reviews on this book. I enjoyed the book, and I'm looking forward to reading the sequel. "

" This was my first Alafair Burke book, although technically the Samantha Kincaid series was written before this Ellie Hatcher debut. Vastly enjoyed the writing style and intricate mystery. Loved Ellie and can't wait for more in this series!! "

" Really enjoyed Ms. Burke's writing and the character development -my only gripe is the editing. Megan and Maggie are not the same name. The worst part is they are one page apart! Will definitely read more of the Ellie Hatcher books though. "

" Detective Ellie Hatcher is specifically sought for a special assignment on the homicide task force when a clue left at the scene of a murder seems to connect two cases to an online dating service. "

" I really liked this book and the character of Ellie Hatcher. I am a BIG fan of the books written by this author's father, so I was happy to see the inclusion of his signature character, albeit briefly. I look forward to reading her other books. "

" I liked this first book in the new series with Ellie Hatcher. It was fast-paced and Ellie is a competent police detective. "

" Over all I enjoyed the book, however it really bugs me when authors don't get details right. Starbucks doesn't sell Oregon Chai, it sells Tazo chai, so please don't have people in Starbucks drinking Oregon Chai... "

" This is pretty well written. The story gets better, more interesting and exciting the second half. 8 of 10 stars. "

" Like Ellie Hatcher - look forward to next book. "

" Love her books. Always keeps my interest. "

" Fun series. Looking forward to Angel's Tip. "

" Kept me guessing till the end "

" Read my thoughts at: Thoughts of Joy... "

" Looks to be another really good detective/mystery series with a strong female lead. I really appreciated Burke's 'not so subtle nod to her father' occuring about two thirds of the way thru the book! It appears that Alafair Burke hasn't fallen far from the tree...she too, is a great author! "

" I love the Samantha Kincaid series, but am just now (finally!) getting to the Ellie Hatcher series. "

" getting ready to start this one today. I just discovered this series via Facebook!I really wanted to love this book. I enjoyed her other books, but this one just didn't keep my attention like I want a good mystery to. It was just meh. Not sure if I'll continue with this series. "

" It was like a TV episode about a serial killer going after women. I felt I had come across the plot more than a few times before. "

" 8/10. Really like the protag in this. It's the first in the series, but the second I've read, so it was nice to some background. Nice twists. Good read. "

" Premise: Man manipulates online dating service to kill women. Best part: e-mails and dialog between Ellie and Peter. Worst: Writing got clunkier as the book went along. "

" I really enjoyed this book. It was well written, with good characters and a good plot. I'm looking forward to the others in the series. "

" Well written with a great storyline that had me guessing until the end. I started the next in the series last night and intend to search out the books in her other series as well. Highly recommended. "

" This was my first Alafair Burke book and I enjoyed it. I like Ellie Hatcher as a character. If you like this genre (crime fiction, serial killer) you would probably like this one. "

" First in series of detective stories. An easy engaging read - I am resisting reading the second one until I finish a couple of other books on the go. Great plane/travel reading. "

" Basic murder mystery. In the beginning I kept thinking it was cliche but it ended up being good. I liked the main character. "

" Just finished this one. Its a bit predictable but this is her first novel and i think it was well done. It kept me reading. "
