The Big Dig Audiobook

" I liked this okay. I was intrigued by the mystery portion enough to continue reading but I thought it was a bit too entertwined. How many private investigators start with two clients and seperate searches only to find out they are not only linked together but basically the same search. I don't know, not as believeable as I like. I also didn't love the language etc so common in these types of books. I guess I should give up finding some good, well thought, clean, mysteries. "

" I'm surprised there haven't been more novels set in Boston around the area of the Big Dig. This was really good. "

" missed the title between cold case and big dig - don't know how she got shot and home damaged. "

" Not a bad read - I had a hard time getting into the book but I think it was me. Maybe I wasn't ready to start a new book. It had a good ending and went fairly quick after I became engaged in the story. My first time for author Linda Barnes. "

" This is one of a series of novels featuring Carlotta Carlyle a funky detective/snooper. She investigates corruption, and then murder, on the construction project in Boston known as the Big Dig. It's a central traffic artery that costs more than a fleet of nuclear aircraft carriers. It's a quick, fun read. "

" Well written PI series. "

" I have read all of Barnes' books, but this one captivated me the most. Barnes' research into the Big Dig project in Boston was superb. She actually made me want to fly to Massachusetts to stare at a big hole in the ground. "

" Typical Barnes. Enjoyed "

" A Murder mystery taking place in Boston , Tewksbury MA, and Derry NH. I lived 25 years in this area and it was fun to trace character movements through familiar territory. I also was living there during all the Big Dig controverses so wonder what is fact and what is fiction. "

" Great mystery with wonderfully developed characters and locale. I was hooked on Carlotta. After I read this book, I backtracked and read every one. I now own all 12; that GOOD! "

" Great story! Love Carlotta- a female PI who is truly her own person, in all aspects of her life. "

" I'm not big on mysteries but this one was pretty decent. "

" A new breed of "patriots" brews up a terrorist plot in the works of Boston's Big Dig. Pre 9/11. "

" The Big Dig went on forever in Boston (just east of the small Massachusetts town in which I live). It was interesting reading detective fiction about an event that has received a lot of publicity in this area. "

" Odd to read a pre-9/11 book ... so much has changed. "

" A good read. Like eating popcorn, a quick snack and fun, but not substantial. "

" Carlotta Carlye #9 "

" Another good read from this author. "

" A good mystery--about Boston's you know what! Fun to read about our fair city. "

" I read a lot of these books in the 80s, maybe 90s. Not quite as good as I remember. Either they've changed or I have, or both. Still a fun read though. "

" Set in Boston: always fun to read. "

" If you are a fan of Sue Grafton or Nevada Barr, you will enjoy Linda Barnes. This is a quick read and it's a fairly good mystery. Carolotta Carlyle is a fun character and I look forward to reading more books in the series. "

" I've read several of the Carlotta Carlyle books. Consistently entertaining--light mysteries. "

" I enjoy reading the Carlotta Carlyle mysteries! Good character development and some suspense. "

" This is the first book I've read about Carlotta Carlyle, PI from Boston, and I loved it. It started off a little complicated but eventually everything fell into place, and I had trouble putting the book down. I plan to read more in this series. "
