Silent Joe Audiobook

" Awesome book, has all the bells & whistles, loved Joe, no long drawn out descriptions, just what you need. "

" Joe Trona is a likeable protagonist. He's got a lot of family secrets, some good and some bad. "

" Definitely kept me guessing until the end. "

" I thought this was a good detective story, well worth the read. At times the story line was somewhat convoluted, but the book overall had a rich atmosphere, good dialogue and interesting characters. It won an Edgar. "

" I love all of Jeff Parker's books, but the character in this is unforgettable. "

" First book I've read by this author and this story was a young man whose face was scarred by acid is definitely a good read. "

" This was the most I've enjoyd any of his books yet. "

" The book was slow start but good ending. "

" Disappointing. After reading the LA noir epic California Girl, I had high expectations for Parker's other Edgar award winner. In a word: meh. "

" First book I read by this author some years ago. I couldn't put it down because I loved the character of Joe. Another one to reread. "

" Characters that act and talk like real people, interesting plot that's actually about something, a protagonist you haven't met before and want to spend time with, and no fat. Everything you want and hardly ever get all at the same time. Really good stuff. "

" This was a pretty good read. Though it helps the reader to understand Joe's character, his facial scarring was brought up a bit too much. "

" Edgar winner? Must have been a slow year. The kindle version I read was Loaded and I mean Loaded with typos. "

" I only read half of this book and gave up. It simply did not hold my interest. "

" Read this in two days couldn't put it down. good thriller "

" Yay! An old-fashioned mystery! "

" My 2nd book by T Jefferson Parker and I truly enjoy his writing style. Most of his stories take place in Southern California and since I live on the Central Coast I recognize and relate to the locations. "

" Excellent as always. Joe is a great character. "

" Page-turning mystery ala Michael Connelly, set in LA, with a sympathetic narrator - flawed but very likeable. "

" Interesting, multi-plot (or so we're led to think) mystery with a likeable main character and deliciously unlikeable bad guys. "

" Too bad we don't have 4 1/2 Stars. Agreat mystery. Loved Joe. "

" Excellent read beginning to end. I think this is his best (that I have read) so far. "

" The book was slow start but good ending. "

" 3.5 Good story about an young, acid-scarred detective trying to solve the mystery of his father. "

" When Joe starts digging into the past of his father, lets just say it's not what he was expecting to find. A very good story, deserving of the Edgar Award, in which it won. "

" I only read half of this book and gave up. It simply did not hold my interest. "

" Great mystery set in LA. Corruption in the local political system. Also, about a womanizer. "

" Very enjoyable mystery-better than average. Acid burned as a child, Joe Trona grows up as the adopted son of Will Trona, ex cop and now OC supervisor. Will is gunned down during a ransom exchange and Joe wants to get to the bottom of it. A good read. "

" Joe Trona is a likeable protagonist. He's got a lot of family secrets, some good and some bad. "

" I had this book on my shelf for years. But I just couldn't get into it. And finally gave up on it. "
