Fabulous

I listen to a lot of crime/thriller books on here and I suppose I am always drawn to authors that are well reviewed and notable, therefore for me this was a risk...but I am so glad and so thrilled to find a book that was entertaining and with believable characters and brilliant dialog. It's a must and I will definitely seek out more by Tana French and anything read by Gerry O'Brien will get my vote...he is nothing short of excellent!! Thank you !

Compelling

Brilliant fro start to finish. Can't wait to start the next one. Gripping plot, authentic dialogue and characters you want to know in real life.

I could hear my Dublin Nana all over this book.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Gripping, sad, every Irish mammy 'givvin out te ya'. Transported into a typical disfuntinal family. Conscience an all. Narration excellent. The writer a genius. I shared this book with my daughter saying...
This is one of those books I can hear your nudder Nana pretending she had nutten to do wit the liberties and thems people. It's a disfunctional family with secrets and lip. It's been a long time since I enjoyed a narrated book as much. I think the narrator did a better job than if it was just read unless you were from Dublin and can hear through this amazing writers voice. I laughed out loud barrelling down memory lane. Enjoy my darling.

Loved the story, great narrator

Where does Faithful Place rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

One of the best

What did you like best about this story?

Loved the characters, the mystery and the relationships and the twists and turns in a great story.

What does Gerry O'Brien bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

Gerry made this book for me. He was so nice to listen to, loved his accent and he read it so well. I looked to see if he had narrated any more and was a bit disappointed to find he hadn't done any more of Tana French books.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I did love this story. I listened continuously for hours, couldn't wait to hear what happened next.

Any additional comments?

I loved these characters, I really wanted to read some more, follow these characters, but as far as I know there are no follow up books. Perhaps in the future?

Great narration, slightly too obvious story

I enjoyed this book as a description of Dublin & a certain character of those who lived in the Liberties. Gerry O’Brien’s narration was excellent & he brought the actors especially Frank to life.
The bits I liked less were: the obvious signposting to the real villain, the lack of explanation as to how the second murder went down & a slightly inconclusive ending. For such a long listen, would have expected more (as Scorcher would say) ‘closure’.

Brilliant with great character detail

Loved this. It's a crime novel but with a great deal of detail about the characters and the setting . Really well written and also moving and humorous too. Fabulous book! The narrator is excellent.
