Enjoyable

I have enjoyed the series so far - but near the ending of this book did stretch credibility for me. A charcter had a grenade in each hand and took the pins out while another character within arms reach did nothing to stop them. You don't just casually pull pins out of grenades, you have to hold on firmly to the grenade and the pin and really yank them apart from each other.

My first foray into Audible

And also my first story from Tony Parsons thanks to a daily deal, and I was not disappointed. I wasn’t sure about the narration by Colin Mace at first, but as the story developed so did my liking of his style and portrayal of the characters. By the end I was looking forward to him reading me another story. The story was good; not fast paced, but a good blend between character development and plot. I’m now excited to go and start the DC Max Wolfe books from the beginning.

Heart wrenching in parts

Another great part to this series, but omg this one really is heart wrenching at times. As well as still being a really good police story.

Loved this!

I was not entirely comfortable with the narration at first. It seemed a little fast and emotionless. However, I adjusted to the pace and came to realise that Colin Mace actually did an excellent job here. The story is original, with well drawn characters who are easy to engage with. Also, where so much good fiction has weak, or ‘over the top’ final chapters, Parson’s final chapters in Girl on Fire are perfect. Genuinely exciting, but entirely plausible and left me wanting more. Here’s hoping for a sequel.

Why?

Dear Mr Parsons..., fabulous read enjoying the DC Woolfe series immensely. Total recommend these books to anyone. You will fall in love with characters and find yourself invested in the welfare of Max, Scout and Stan....have to say though the ending to Girl on Fire left me bloody furious, without spoiling it I have to say the author could have gone a hundred different ways so I would honestly like to stand in front of the author ask Why? I drive miles and have listed to the entire series very quickly, honestly can't wait for the next one once.
