The Deadhouse (Abridged) Audiobook

" The premise was interesting, the book was not. "

" Good author for stories in NY city...good legal/murder mystery...fascinating aspects of history and architecture and waterways...good 'beach' read... "

" Lots of fun and learned a lot about Roosevelt Island. "

" Well Ms Fairstein, you might be a hot professional, but you are a lousey writer. Is it a television series you're after now you have probably retired? All that dialogue and no content (literary, that is). And also Ms Fairstein, you refer to: "Tasmanian Indian tribe". Tasmania! Australia! There are no Indians in Australia, they are aborigines you blockhead! So much for researching your material, or were you showing off what a clever, well-educated person you are? Perhaps you were being ironic! Well, it didn't work, you just come across as a moron trying to cash in on a possible media takeup of your mediocre novel. "

" I love Linda Fairstein's books - murder mystery combined with New York history. "

" This is another intense thriller from Linda Fairstein in this series. Great drama with some historical background and good suspense. "

" This book is filled with cliche. Although the book is not trying to be a classic, in the mystery genre it makes it exciting to have a thread of the truth. This book is so filled with what one expects a mystery to be, you can't feel the truth of it, so, for me, it was a dud. "

" The Alexandra Cooper series just gets better and better. On to book 5! "

" I liked how this book was a bit different from all of the other books I've read. I'd recommend. "

" This book was recommended to me on a bookstore 'crawl' of sorts following a 2 week course between semesters of my senior year. I didn't think much of it from the cover but gave it a shot - and found it quite entertaining. "

" I didn't finish. It started out well, but the plot bogged down about halfway through. "

" Another detective/mystery/crime writer that I am now reading through the series - from the school of Janet Riechs and/or Patricia Cornwall - enjoying the series so far. "

" Not one of my favorite Fairstein books, this is still a great crime thriller. It's set in an abandoned NYC smallpox asylum. Not being all that familiar with that struggle in history, I found the imagery a little difficult. Still, though, classic Fairstein with nail-biting suspense! "

" One of the best books I have read. Didn't know who did it till the very end. I also love the detail description of all the NY sites. Also the history background. One of my new Fav. authors. "

" Very suspensful. Ended completely different than I thought it would. "

" The book was good to very good. It read like an episode Law & Order: SVU. "

" It was just ok for me. "

" Stupid book - not even good trash. I didn't like the writing, the plot, or the main character. I finished it, but hardly know why. I won't be reading anything else by this author. "

" 3.5 stars - This is another good detective/D.A. murder mystery. I enjoyed the main characters and plot development. "

" Would not have stuck to it was it not for Blair Brown's reading. Still, much better than most of the books on this shelf. "

" This is the second Alexandra Cooper mystery I've read. I enjoyed it thoroughly. Good characters, good setting and a good mystery. I'll read more of them. "

" My absolute favorite of Fairstein's Alexandra Cooper mysteries. The topic/subject of this book is something I've always wanted to do, and intrigues me. This book kept me up at night because I never wanted to put it down. "

" Almost done - getting better the closer that I am getting to the end. Reading for a book group. Really turned out to be a very good read. Looking forward to reading more of her books. "

" This is a good basic mystery. I like Linda Fairstein's books, especially for the historical injections, and this was no exception. I did feel that it was a little predictable but a fun quick read nonetheless. "

" Another great mystery by Linda Fairstein. I loved learning the history of "the Island." This time Linda involved academia for the set-up. Very ingenious! I cannot recommend enough Linda's books. "

" I enjoyed this book. It did seem to be drawn out in some parts, but as a whole I would recommend it. This is a series I will continue to read. "

" The Alexandra Cooper series just gets better and better. On to book 5! "

" One of the best books I have read. Didn't know who did it till the very end. I also love the detail description of all the NY sites. Also the history background. One of my new Fav. authors. "

" enjoyed..first time reading this author but will read more "
