L.A. Requiem Audiobook

" This was my first Robert Crais novel and I was not disappointed. I'll be looking for more in the Elvis Cole/Joe Pike series. One of those page-turner---can't put it down books. "

" I'm a detective novels reader and have read the first nine Elvis Cole novels. This may be the darker and more complex of Crais' so far. The characters grow in richness here especially Pike. Very good read. "

" Neighbor recommended Crais' novels. Los Angeles private investigators Elvis Cole and Joe Pike look into the murder of Pike's former girlfriend. Page-turner! "

" Interesting and good 9th Elvis Cole / Joe Pike novel, answers some questions in relation to the background of the pair. Will be interested how the character development progresses for Cole and Pike through the series. "

" LA PI Elvis Cole and his laconic partner Joe Pike hunt a serial killer who murdered an ex-girlfriend of Joe's. Flashbacks to Joe's childhood and previous experiences as a LA police detective add depth and raise this out of the genre fiction level. Another urban crime writer with literary quality, hard-boiled with a soft side, and a good feeling for LA. "

" Entertaining, but something is lacking. Maybe it's just the sense that I've seen it all before, though "it" (whatever it is) is done well here. "

" After reading everything Mr. Crais has put out I wanted to learn more about both of the guys, I got what I wanted. "

" His best. And they are all fantastic. "

" Police procedure book that reads fast. Great for a cruise!!! "

" bittersweet, if not at times a bit too cinematic. robert crais always refuses to option these books for film, which i love. "

" good background on what makes Joe tick "

" Great action mystery and Cole and Pike's friendship a highlight for me. This is the best of the Cole mysteries, in my opinion. "

" If you have read all of Robert B. Parker's books, and wish he was still writing, then you'll probably like Robert Crais. I started with the earlier ones. "

" I love all the Elvis Cole novels. "

" Great one-liners, excellent plotting, a master of the genre (although the L.A. 'presence' added little). "

" This one is a bit uneven but I still put it among my favorites of Crais. Not up with Taken, The Watchman, or The Two Minute Rule. "

" Crais writes a very entertaining detective novel. "

" I like the Elvis Cole character. Not as much of a wiseass as Brian Haig's Sean Drummond but still definitely entertaining. I was a bit lost at the beginning as the story initially jumps around in time. Once I got used to who the characters were, it became a better read. "

" I really enjoyed this book. It is told from Cole's perspective. This book deals with love and relationships when it talks about coles relationship with Lucy and his partner Starkey. You get to see a differnt side of Pike while he and cole try to find ex-girlfriend's killer. "

" I know that this is "just" a detective novel, and just one in a long line of a series, but it really was that good. I just had to give it 5 stars. "

" I was so happy that my friend recommended this series to me. I can't wait for the next book to come out. I can't believe I was to shy at that writers con to ask for an autograph! "

" This was the second Elvis Cole novel I read. Edgy and tense in a very good way. One of his best. "

" Really good one, with a lot of Joe Pike back-story.... "
