The Prostitutes' Ball Audiobook

" Stephen Cannell is a new author for me. Previously he wrote scripts for tv series such as The Rockford Files, The Commish, etc. This book was great. It was a little slow to begin, but once the characters were put together the story got super exciting. Humor, suspense, and great story line makes this a top-notch mystery. "

" I had no idea this was #10 for this series. But I didn't feel like I was missing much back story. This is the 2nd Shane Scully book I read and it was a fast read. "

" While this book didn't measure up to previous books in the series--lacked the slam-bang finish I've come to expect--I anxiously await the next one. It's a pity Mr. Cannell is no longer with us to continue this overall great series. "

" A lot of sarcastic humor in this book which made it very enjoyable. Stephen Cannell was the writer for the TV series "Murder She Wrote" and his books are readable entertainment. "

" RIP Mr Cannell. I will miss your stories and will especilly miss Shane Scully. I have read all your books. "

" Good cop mystery with just a bit of Hollywood. Good story line with just enough of a twist to keep the story moving. "

" This was the first Cannell book I've ever read. I wasn't overly impressed, but it was an easy read and passed the time. "

" A good, fun read, very fast-paced. "

" #10 in the Shane Scully Detective series. I was very sorry to read that the author had passed away right as this book was published. I want to read 1-9 in the series. "

" A very good detective novel. Was thinking about a 5 rating. "

" Prostitutes Ball (like all the Shane Scully Books) is an extremely well written, fast paced mystery with plenty of action, wonderful descriptions of the Hollywood hills, the Venice canals, and plenty of dry humor and police slang. I enjoyed this book immensely! "

" Fantastic final book of the Shane Scully series. Your stories will be missed Mr. Cannell! "

" Thanks again, Tricia, for directing me to this author - GOOD mystery! I will look for others by this author. "

" A great LAST novel in the Shane Scully series, full of twists and told from a very different angle. Cannell will surely be missed! RIP "

" An ok read. Bit too heavy on street dialogue for me but interesting enough. "

" This one was so odd and quirky, especially for Cannell, that it quickly became one of my favorites from him. I can easily see a wackadoo Bryan-Fuller-y black-comedy film adaptation of this, kinda like Hannibal but much more lighthearted, closer to Pushing Daisies (but not quite). "

" I really enjoyed this book. Hitch & Scully make a great team. "

" A quick, interesting read. Cannell gives you a look behind the scenes of movit/tv production with a lot of Hollywood history blended in. It seems to be autobiographical and probably is, but through the eyes of Shane Scully, you get to know Cannell and his world. "

" Cannell's books are always a good read, and this one was too. I think I've read all of his fiction so far. This one features Shane Scully, who has starred in most of the books. As usual the plot doesn't really hold up after thinking about it, but still I enjoyed it and look forward to the next one. "

" Made for an enjoyable ride to and from Bayfield. Finished the last CD at home "

" An easy read, but a fun one. "

" This is pretty straightforward crime fiction. I don't think the characters or situation will stay with you--but that said, it is an entertaining read. "

" Not worth the late fine at the library. "

" What an incredible ride! This stuff is pure gold. I loved it. The characters are deep and well-thought out. The plot is fun and easy to follow. It was an enjoyable read. "

" Excellent book. Chuck is reading it & likes it! "

" One of those mystery novels I just couldn't put down. "

" A very good detective novel. Was thinking about a 5 rating. "

" Last book before Cannell died. "

" 3 1/2 stars, good fun, lots of twists and turns in plot, scully gets a new partner! should be a movie. "

" Not worth the late fine at the library. "

" A good, fun read, very fast-paced. "

" Another favorite character----but I only have one left to read about him, as i think the author died. "

" really enjoyed esp since it will be the last one of the series unfortunately! "

" A great storyteller. This was his last book before he died. I plan to go back and read his earlier mysteries. "

" A quick, interesting read. Cannell gives you a look behind the scenes of movit/tv production with a lot of Hollywood history blended in. It seems to be autobiographical and probably is, but through the eyes of Shane Scully, you get to know Cannell and his world. "

" Good cop mystery with just a bit of Hollywood. Good story line with just enough of a twist to keep the story moving. "

" #10 in the Shane Scully Detective series. I was very sorry to read that the author had passed away right as this book was published. I want to read 1-9 in the series. "

" This was an interesting read. The characters are likeable; the plot has lots of twists and turns to keep you interested; the humor was a nice offset to the seriousness of the crimes. It's sad there won't be another book in the series. "

" Loved this story! This is the first book I have read of Stephen J. Cannell. The humor throughout the story was wonderful. "

" A lot of sarcastic humor in this book which made it very enjoyable. Stephen Cannell was the writer for the TV series "Murder She Wrote" and his books are readable entertainment. "

" Quite an entertaining 'Shane Scully' tale that goes from a triple murder leading to a 25-year-old murder/suicide then to an infamous bank robbery then back to the current day triple murder then . . . very interesting twists and tangles. A fast paced, enjoyable read. "

" Felt it wrapped everything up too quickly in the end "
