The Ending Was Not a Surprise

I really, really miss Dick Hill.

This was an excellent series to me, though not particularly this book as much. I miss the previous narrator Dick Hill so much. I read he put his microphone up for art and painting.. I listened to every book in this series narrated by Dick Hill and some of his other series too.. I enjoyed him as a narrator very much.. He had me hooked. The narrator for Mischief was ok but there was something about Dick Hill's ranting and his over the top narrations that bought these stories to life for me. And this book was unusually shorter than previous books and the chapters ran together and I couldn't easily follow as I usually do. I am sure if I purchased the paperback there is a lot of story missing here!!!. I thought I would continue to the last book but probably not now. This one felt rushed and since they aren't the same I just don't know. But I did enjoy most, some more than others.

Lastly, yes these stories are from a previous era and generation as told, very racially charged and distasteful but there was truth in them as well unfortunately. That doesn't mean it was to be taken personally as these are for entertainment purposes. Was I offended at times....ABSOLUTELY but I love police procedural. No excuses they could be insensitive at times but I liked the 87th Precinct cops, especially Carella and Kling and Meyer Meyer.

The first 40 or so books I really enjoyed and started around book10 then went back to book 1 and in order and knew the characters and cops well. That kept me engaged. I will miss the series and Dick Hill. Farewell.
