The Coroner (Abridged) Audiobook

" slow start, interesting story and satisfying end. "

" This was a fairly bland procedural crime novel... I assume the author is setting up storylines for further novels, but it would have been nice to tie up some of the loose ends. There was just too much whinging and dragging, boring stories in this book to be good. If it had stuck with the coronial part, and cut out the pill popping lead character it might have been a little more tolerable than it was. The characters were one dimensional and I didn't really care what happened to any of them. Don't know if I'd stick with the author if they were to write any other books. "

" This book has many twists and turns to keep the reader guessing, but I felt that the references to the prescription drugs she was taking and her state of mind made me wonder how she was able to conduct her duties.it was a bit over the top. The book would have been a lot more interesting without her personal problems "

" Found this book a bit of a slog at first, and it took a third attempt to really get into it, but once I did I found it pretty good. "

" An amazing novel. Intensely suspenseful and brilliantly written. The characterization of Jenny Cooper is superb. "

" I really don't want to know about her personal battles with herself, but that's a male geek attitude, I guess. The plot's fine, the writing is OK but generally I find the flawed central character fails too often to gain my sympathy. "

" A good read, gave enough information to draw me in yet not enough to bore me with technical details. The plot of a new person in town cleaning up the mess of those who had gotten too comfortable in their ways was intriguing, I wanted to see how well she would fit. On to book two for me... "

" I really enjoyed this book, excellent crime writing and UK based "

" This is the first of the Jenny Cooper series I have read. I do love my heros to be people, fallible and and simply human. Jenny Cooper is certainly that. The story is strong an holds the reader from page one. I will pencil in reading all the other books in the sreies "

" Loved it, bought part two as soon as I had finished it. It was a credible read and I liked the protagonist because she was a real person. Nice mix of personal story and exciting plot. "

" Average crime thriller of interest to me as it was set in Bristol "

" Not bad, not great. Definitely too long (450 pages), in spite of the rather sparse script-like writing style. The villain of the piece and the nature of his/her villainy was spottable from a fair distance. And, by the way, Temazepan is not an anti-depressant. It sends you to sleep. "
