The Deadhouse Audiobook

" Almost done - getting better the closer that I am getting to the end. Reading for a book group. Really turned out to be a very good read. Looking forward to reading more of her books. "

" I did not enjoy this book as much as I did Entombed. It might just be I wasn't as interested in the asylum on Roosevelt Island as I had been in Poe. "

" Good book. LOVED the history of NY woven in between the investigation. And, I had no idea who the murderer was until she revealed it to us. However, I really want her and Mike Chapman to become more than just friends already!!! LOL! "

" I enjoyed this book. It did seem to be drawn out in some parts, but as a whole I would recommend it. This is a series I will continue to read. "

" The book was good to very good. It read like an episode Law & Order: SVU. "

" I give up. I am half way through and it took forever to get that far. The story moves way to slow with a lot of seemingly extraneous activity. I don't care what happens at this point. I want to read something good. "

" I didn't finish. It started out well, but the plot bogged down about halfway through. "

" Very Good .... I will read more of this author. "

" Not one of my favorite Fairstein books, this is still a great crime thriller. It's set in an abandoned NYC smallpox asylum. Not being all that familiar with that struggle in history, I found the imagery a little difficult. Still, though, classic Fairstein with nail-biting suspense! "

" Very suspensful. Ended completely different than I thought it would. "

" enjoyed..first time reading this author but will read more "

" Ugh. Boring predictable characters who I have no interest in spending any time with. Reads like a vanity project for the author. "

" this was a book on tape and it was too boring to finish! "

" I enjoyed this award winning mystery. I'll have to go back and read book 1, Double Jeopardy, which has been made into a movie. "

" I love Linda Fairstein's books - murder mystery combined with New York history. "

" I really enjoy Linda Fairstein's Alex Cooper novels. I like the personal experience she brings to the novels, I like the relationship between the main characters: Alexandra Cooper, Mike Chapman and Mercer Wallace, and I like the history of New York that encompasses every novel. "

" It was just ok for me. "

" I liked how this book was a bit different from all of the other books I've read. I'd recommend. "

" This book was recommended to me on a bookstore 'crawl' of sorts following a 2 week course between semesters of my senior year. I didn't think much of it from the cover but gave it a shot - and found it quite entertaining. "

" The ending left me hanging! "

" Fills the void while I wait for Netflix to get the next season of L&O: SVU on instant play. "

" Overblown, too many characters, too American, 'schmultzy'. Some interesting detail about the history of mental illness in New York, but it is mainly an inferior version of a Patricia Cornwell, which aren't that great either! Don't bother unless you are stuck in an airport or somewhere. "

" This is another intense thriller from Linda Fairstein in this series. Great drama with some historical background and good suspense. "

" Very interesting. It went into lots of the history of New York. I had no idea! Very cool as a mystery and a history. "

" This book is filled with cliche. Although the book is not trying to be a classic, in the mystery genre it makes it exciting to have a thread of the truth. This book is so filled with what one expects a mystery to be, you can't feel the truth of it, so, for me, it was a dud. "

" Good author for stories in NY city...good legal/murder mystery...fascinating aspects of history and architecture and waterways...good 'beach' read... "

" my introduction to Linda Fairstein and I am definitly hooked on her writing and character, Assistant District Attorney, Alex Cooper. Not sure why I start with # 4 haha so I have to go back..and start at the beginning. Great character and locale in this NYC tale of murder and deceit. "

" Would not have stuck to it was it not for Blair Brown's reading. Still, much better than most of the books on this shelf. "

" The premise was interesting, the book was not. "

" Another great mystery by Linda Fairstein. I loved learning the history of "the Island." This time Linda involved academia for the set-up. Very ingenious! I cannot recommend enough Linda's books. "

" love love love Linda Fairstein...i'm hooked. "
