The Prostitutes' Ball (Abridged) Audiobook

" 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. "

" 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. "

" I have enjoyed every Shane Scully book that Stephen J Cannell has written, and it is a shame that he is no longer here with us to continue sharing his stories. "

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

" 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. "

" I didn't realize this was a series, I will have to check out the other books. "

" 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. "

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

" I feel as if I should have loved this detective with an ironic sense of humor, but I found him somewhat boring. "

" An easy read, but a fun one. "

" It has been a while since I have read a book that I have enjoyed as much as this one. There are several subplots to the main plot, and characters appear that are totally unexpected that advance the story line in new directions. Highly recommended for any mystery fan. "

" 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 "

" Bought this for my Nook because it was cheap, but sounded interesting. I really liked it, and will probably read some more books from this author. "

" 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. "

" Well written crime story in the Stephen J. Cannell manner which makes for great detective stories. "

" 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! "

" Not worth the late fine at the library. "

" 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. "

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

" 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). "

" Kept me entertained from Michigan to TN "

" A great Shane Scully story. Sorry for the death of this very talented author! "

" c2010. Great populist read. Quick and cheerful. Nice characters albeit a little thin.Interesting plot and would definitely convert to a good series. "

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

" This is the way to write an exciting novel around police work. Excellent characters, plots and with bits of humor. 10 of 10 stars "

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

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

" 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. "

" 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. "
