The Gentlemen's Hour: A Novel Audiobook

" I love Boone Daniels "

" The 3rd book I'd list in this slim category. A big fall off in plotting. "

" This is the second book with The Dawn Patrol, a group of surfing buddies. The unofficial leader of this group is Boone Daniels, a surfer and private investigator. He is working on one case that could cost him his long-time friendships and another case that could cost him his life. In spite of this he can't give up on his principles. The setting for the story is the San Diego beaches. The author does a good job of exposing some of the unsavory aspects of the picturesque ocean setting. Behind the glamour lies real estate and political corruption, drug cartels, white supremacists, and monetary wealth at any costs. "

" I still say Don Winslow is the best genre writer you've never heard of (apologies if you have). The dialogue is like Elmore Leonard if Leonard were a southern California/surfer. The plotting is terrific. The prose is first-rate. Maybe he is better known than I think he is, but he is a terrific writer (and that phrase does not need to have the word "genre" splitting it up). "

" Pretty fun. Reminiscent of Robert Crais's early Elvis Cole novels. "

" A good noirish crime novel set in southern california. Strongly recommended for surfers! "

" Winslow writes an interesting book. Worth reading. "

" Winslow's unique voice comes through in this fast-reading mystery set in San Diego's surfer community. A great summer read. "

" Boone is back! This one is not as dark as dawn patrol but still a damn good book. "

" settting is local OB. Love stories with surfers. "

" was not as good as his other book "

" hope he continues the series. Smart; fast-paced; complex, twisted, character-centered plot "

" Boone Daniels is a laid back PI who also surfs, a lot. If like me you'd rather have a bad day on the water than a good day in the office then you'll love this. It's a full blooded mystery thriller with the superb surfer setting of San Diego, authentic and really gripping. "

" After moving to San Diego County, I read every novel by Don Winslow that I could find in print. Surf, dope dealing, the border, local culture... it's all here, including the best place in La Jolla near the beach for a good hamburger.I enjoy good thrillers and these books certainly filled the bill. "

" Cool, a bit mild compared to the high octaneness of his other work. Mildness kind of compliments the "old dudes" setting. "

" Not quite on a par with The Dawn Patrol, but a pleasure to spend time with Boone and company again. "

" This is a book worth reading on many levels. First, it's a great read; second, Winslow's writer's voice in this novel sings, really good stuff; third, you truly get to liking Boone Daniels, the hero; fourth .... well, there is much more that you will discover on your own. Read this one! "

" Love Me Some Winslow! "

" 3.5 I was disheartened at the beginning - it told me lots more about surfing than I ever wanted to know - but it got much better as characters were more subtly delineated. "

" Yup, I read the sequel too! Not as good as the classic Dawn Patrol but I guess he went to the well once too many times. "

" What is there NOT to like about Don Winslow's books???? They're fast-reading, full of action, funny, full of great characters and well-written! This is the sequel to DAWN PATROL and I was not at all disappointed. "

" Cool story centered on the Socal surf-bum scene. Well-researched. Authentic dialog. Lots of action ... particularly in the last dozen pages. Recommended. "

" Graying surfer PI solves San Diego surfer based crimes. Not bad fare for a solo lunch. "

" Sequel to "The Dawn Patrol", this is another winner from Winslow! "

" Did not finish this one...sent it back to the library "

" What is there NOT to like about Don Winslow's books???? They're fast-reading, full of action, funny, full of great characters and well-written! This is the sequel to DAWN PATROL and I was not at all disappointed. "

" Winslow writes an interesting book. Worth reading. "

" Twists and turns and lots of Florida fun from a very entertaining mystery author. A great set of characters. "

" Gnarly, man. Nifty mystery/thriller set among Southern California surfers. I could have used a glossary for all the surfer lingo since it's been awhile since saw all the surfer movies of the 60's. "

" was not as good as his other book "

" Pretty fun. Reminiscent of Robert Crais's early Elvis Cole novels. "
