The Pure in Heart: Simon Serrailler 2 Audiobook (Unabridged)

" this is a really good book. written in a way that u feel like ur in the inner most circles of police crime solving. lots of twist and turns . now on book three of the series "

" A unique look at a common, but no less tragic for it's frequency, pathology. Hill handles the numerous strands of plot and emotion with dexterity and sensitivity. The ending is particularly eloquent......because really, what explanation wold help us understand and accept the monstrosity described? "

" Great series. I am going to start book 3 soon. "

" This is definitely a series that must be read in order. Events carry from book to book, and not everything is resolved. Hill does an excellent job getting into the heads of her characters. "

" A bang-up sequel to a bang-up first in series (The Various Haunts of Men). I am THIS close to ordering a copy of the third and fourth in the series from England. Hill breaks every rule in the genre to brilliant effect. Brava. "

" The author wants to give darkness/bad endings precedent over lightness/closure. I gave this series another chance, and got what I expected. Do I like it? This is like watching a show for 2 hours and then seeing the words "to be continued". Good writer, get the point, like the characterizations, however the little bits of light could be brighter. "

" Looking forward to more from this author! "

" Totally caught me off guard. Great read with dynamic triplets dominating the action. Simon Serrailler and his family are the real mystery of the book, unfolding behind a backdrop of murder and kidnapping. I really enjoyed it and can't wait for more Simon. "

" 3.5 stars if I could give them. Hill's books are all about character development, so much so that I wouldn't really call them mysteries. There are some crime cases to be solved within the plot, but the people drive the story. Hill makes the people so interesting, though, that I want more. "

" This is the second book in this series, it seemed to read much quicker and I enjoyed following on with the lives of the main characters. Looking forward to reading the next one in the series. "

" These books are a bit slow in the beginning and I feel like there are often too many characters with similar names, but I do like the storyline that sort of flows through the two I have read so far...so I will read another. "

" Not particularly well-written and Simon Serrailler seems like a pastiche of Elizabeth George's Lynley and P.D. James's Adam Dalgliesh. "

" Rated 3.5. Another book in which medical issues are combined with criminal pursuits. "

" Didn't like it as well as The Various Haunts of Men, but it was still a good read. Very interesting that the "mystery" is not actually solved and one must read the next in the series to figure out what's going on. I do like Hill's characters and am enjoying getting to know them. "

" I'm slightly disappointed with this book, not sure about the characters or the plot, I will try the next in the series and then decide whether I can put up with a DCI who's a borderline sociopath! "

" The 2nd in the Simon Serrailler series - love Ms Hill's writing (like comfort food for the reader). "

" This is no where near a simple whodunit. The issues are complex. The characters are complex. The ending is complex. Somewhat depressing but a wonderful book all the same. "

" Another cracker from Susan Hill but have the third book ready to start reading straight away... "

" Nothing was tied up in this book so I had to move to the third book in the series immediately. "

" My brief notes state, Excellent. This book was even better than the first in the series. "

" Brilliant - plan on reading the series. They are wonderful stories, exquisitely written "

" Definitely a page-turner but a bit dark for me. I was hooked before I realized that the victim was a child (I don't read those anymore) so I had to skip the scenes of the little boy after he'd been abducted. Strong writing. Many subplots left unresolved, which I suppose is good for a series. "

" I thoroughly enjoyed this book and have already ordered the next 2 in the series. "

" Liked it as much as the first. Guess I'll have to get the third and fourth! "

" Great series. I am going to start book 3 soon. "

" 2nd in a series. Liked the characters, plot, and writing. Currently reading the first in the series. "

" Not as enticing as her first novel in the series, but still good. Good enough to read the third book "

" A unique look at a common, but no less tragic for it's frequency, pathology. Hill handles the numerous strands of plot and emotion with dexterity and sensitivity. The ending is particularly eloquent......because really, what explanation wold help us understand and accept the monstrosity described? "

" I found this very painful to read. Couldn't bear the lack of a happy ending. "

" I read this volume in the series first & was immediately engaged. I felt that the characters were very authentic & I came to care for them. "

" This is the second of a series -- my bookstore sells it as a "staff pick." That's just crazy. The ending is so bad that I feel cheated of my time and money. "

" I liked this book better than the first. While some things aren't resolved the way you might think they should be, they're still resolved and you have closure. As with the first book, I love her atmosphere and characters. I will most definitely read the third installment. "

" My brief notes state, Excellent. This book was even better than the first in the series. "

" Rated 3.5. Another book in which medical issues are combined with criminal pursuits. "
