The Blue Hour Audiobook

" wow! Really interesting crime story but great main characters. The crime storyline carried me along but the characters themselves were stories almost on their own, and I really enjoy that. I've become a huge Michael Connolly fan and this reminded me a bit of his work. I'd definitely be looking into the next book in this series. The ending of this book brought a shocking character twist that makes me want to continue on, no matter what the next crime/suspense plot is. "

" This was a very fun police procedural. It managed the neat trick (SPOILER ALERT) of letting you get inside the mind of the killer and still have the identity of the killer be a surprise. Moreover the policework elements seemed realistic; I really like long books like this because there is enough time for the plot to be complicated, and the acts of detection--running down leads, check facts, looking for clues--are given the time and space to feel difficult. I intend to continue the Merci Rayborn, Tim Hess series. "

" What a great story... what a disgusting ... I don't have words for that monster! And what a sad ending!!! Great read!!! "

" Good read. I read the Kindle edition. "

" pretty good quick read but i was kind of annoyed at the end "

" I made it half-way through and then gave up. The characters were 2-dimensional, tension was built by flat expressions of rage, and the murders were almost gratuitously gruesome. Erk. "

" I could not get into this book at all!! "

" I started out not liking the main characters (Hess and Merci) but then got completely drawn in by them and ended up loving 'em. Very interesting crime/case, though the "solve" didn't totally make sense and seemed a bit unlikely. Great ending; always liked being surprised by an author's path! "

" I love cop stories and this is a good one :) "

" Another good read from a talented mystery writer. A bit grisly but with a page-turning intensity. If you like Michael Connelly, this is your guy. "

" this book totally creeped me out- a serial killer is kidnapping women from mall parking lots and murdering them, leaving only their purses at the scene. first merci reybourne book- won't be the last i read. "

" Very long. Some of the best character development I have ever read. The characters are very real. "

" I really like this author. This was one of his best. "

" Very good. Reads faster on Kindle. "

" First book I have read by this author and was not disappointed.....excellent writing and the characters drew you into their story....I will read more of the Merci Rayburn .... "

" Yes, the yuk factor is high, but the writing and story were well done. I'll be looking for another to aee what happens to Merci ... "

" Very suspenseful, will look for more from this author "

" Meh, it was ok. Mercy is really NOT a likable character. Don't think I'll read the following two books in the series "

" Enjoyed this book; reading more of his. "
