The Kills (Abridged) Audiobook

" This plot left me feeling that I couldn't solve the mystery on my own. Somewhat confusing at times, but still a good murder mystery that leads to a part of the river (always in NYC) where bodies are always found, known as The Kills. "

" The usual Byzantine plot. A little hard to keep track of but overall a great read. "

" I am addicted to this series, even though I am not reading them in order. The story weaves and weaves until all the separate threads melt together into an exciting ending where all is revealed complete. "

" Alex Cooper is busy prosecuting an alleged rapist, while Mercer and Champan are investigating the murder of an elderly woman in Harlem. Can it be possible that these two cases and their casts of players can be related? "

" Starts with a date rape heading to trial with a judge who is old school and would rather deal with more concrete crimes like murder. Goes on to a death of a woman in Harlem who once was the mistress of the King of Egypt. it was a complicated story with lots of coincidences. An okay adventure but I found that as soon as I had finished it I really couldn't remember the details. "

" A complicated mystery with many twists and turns. This series always has a great moment of suspense at the end and never what you're anticipating. This is the third book in the series and I'll definitely read more. "

" As usual another good read from this author. This is the 6th book of the series. "

" First time reading a book by Linda Fairstein. It started a little slow, but the story was interesting enough to keep me coming back to it. Will read more of her books. "

" A; Very good. Another page turner from Linda. Alex is a great character to follow. "

" Love the bookswap! this wasn't bad, as far as mysteries go. I felt there were too many characters, too many mysteries, but she maintained and there was only one part that I scoffed at. nice easy and very entertaining for a sick day read. "

" It's becoming more and more apparent that I am not a fan of legal thrillers. Especially when they're only mediocre legal thrillers. "

" took a while to get into, found there was too many story lines in it and was a bit confusing at times, not too bad but was disappointed by the ending. "

" The start was a bit boring. But after a while it got a bit better. "

" Rather a convoluted story, which was hard to take seriously as it went on. I do not think I will be seeking out any more by this author. "

" Fairstein is a good suspense writer. However, I like some others more. "

" This is a fairly run-of-the- mill novel. The plot is really rather far fetched and also fairly instantly forgettable. A book that one can carry around in a handbag to while away moments when waiting for a bus! "

" really got into this one.... "

" A little more convoluted plot than usual, but it all hangs together in the end. Good book! "

" Not bad, but a usual murder mystery. This was an easy read, but I wasn't blown away at the story/ending. As a matter of fact, I was able to figure it out before it was done, and I didn't have that deep sigh of "wow that was a great book" at the end. Eh... "

" Didn't finish it...too much religious history detail to keep my interest. "

" Super intricate plot but pulled together nicely in the end. Alex is a lawyer, but the story didn't get stuck in legal minutiae that would take away from the suspense and mystery. I couldn't stop reading. It was fabulous. I loved the history. "

" Another great legal thriller set in New York City with twists and turns and plenty of suspense, with two intersecting cases meet for one. "

" Another Alex Cooper book. Good book but not as good as the others i've read so far. I think it was that there were coins involved and stuff about that bores me. Still a well written good book. Not one I'd bother owning or will read again. "

" Great mystery - lots of seemingly disconnected events eventually tie together. A good read. "

" There were too many ongoing cases to appreciate this novel. Linda Fairstein has done better on previous books. "

" This was a pretty good mystery; liked it! "

" A little more convoluted plot than usual, but it all hangs together in the end. Good book! "

" Flat. Pretentious. Unbelievable. Agatha Cristiesque in the worst possible way- explains what really happened in a narrative at the end. One time and out for me. "

" Fairstein is a good suspense writer. However, I like some others more. "

" The beginning of the book was a little slow. I had a hard time trying to figure out how the rape of Paige Vallis was going to tie in to the synopsis on the cover. "

" The usual Byzantine plot. A little hard to keep track of but overall a great read. "

" Great mystery - lots of seemingly disconnected events eventually tie together. A good read. "

" I'm surprised that this book isn't on the list already. It is one of the series with Alex, the blond d.a. which takes place in NYC. Kills refers to the bodies of water around Manhattan, but could also refer to murders. "

" A; Very good. Another page turner from Linda. Alex is a great character to follow. <br/> "
