Gods and Beasts: A Novel Audiobook

" Alex Morrow's twins are safe at home with her hubby, but things are heating up at the police station after someone goes postal at--a small post office. It's Christmas time in Glasgow and local crooks and dirty politicians are up to their usual tricks. Alex can't relax and enjoy the holidays until she figures out why a murder victim was targeted and who is continuing to threaten the victim's family. "

" Corruption in Glasgow. Mina is a master writer. "

" I still like the main character in this series, but I thought this book was sort of disorganized and disjointed. I had a little difficulty following the plot. I liked the writing, but I felt like the first one was the best so far. "

" Least favorite Denise Mina book. So many characters that I was confused. Even when everything finally came together, all I could think was "eh..." "

" Good, but not her best. "

" Another excellent novel from my favourite Scottish crime writer. "

" Really have to concentrate - sometimes a bit scattered but worth the read. Would like to know more about Morrow's relationship with father of her children. "

" I think Mina is the best writer of all the Scots mystery authors and I love anything she does but this one is slightly less engrossing than the prior Alex Morrow (The End of Wasp Season). That said, still highly recommended but make sure you read the first two in the series first. "

" I probably would have enjoyed it more if I had read the previous books with these characters. Still a good book. "

" Highly engaging with an intricate web of narratives. My first Alex Morrow book but read very well as a stand alone. I was worried I would be lost because I hadn't read the previous books! "

" I couldn't stay interested. I didn't like any of the characters. I took it back to the library, unfinished. I hate doing that but just won't waste my precious reading time on something I don't like. "

" I really didn't get the storyline in this book. There were too many storylines and I didn't feel that I got the connection from where the story begins. I have enjoyed her other books, but just not this one. "

" Disappointing after such rave reviews! "

" Okay. Not as good as others.... "

" Denise Mina is always terrific! Gods and Beasts did not disappoint. "

" My m-I-l favorite author and relates to Glasgow whereabouts. Several stories linked by a common thread, was a good read but felt it wrapped up very quickly and all was solved rather suddenly ! "

" Denise Mina writes about a gritty,crime filled tough world. What is most wonderful about her novels is that the protagonists are women, tough,prickly,smart women in male dominated worlds and professions. Not her best book but astute writing and characters. "

" Love all Denis Mina's books--every series has been exceptional--this one as well. Great writing. "

" This features DS Alex Morrow but is really several different stories about corruption rather than one case although everything does link in. "

" Another great volume in the Alex Morrow series. Don't get to know too much more about Morrow, but that was okay with me. Her Glasgow is very different than the one I visited as a tourist. "

" i have listened to one of this author's stories before on audio book (with the same recurring characters). Even though I liked this book- I found it to be confusing and the end did not clear it up for me. I would give it 2.5 stars if I could. "
