Özet
 When Dave Gurney, retired NYPD homicide detective, is contacted by an old college acquaintance about some startling letters he's been receiving, it is a sinister puzzle. Then the acquaintance is brutally killed… Suddenly Gurney finds himself in the middle of a murder investigation that makes no sense. The killer seems to have known his victim intimately. This seems only to be the beginning. And the killer alone knows where it will end.©2010 John Verdon (P)2011 AudioGO Ltd Crime Fiction Thriller & Suspense Suç Hukuk Kurgu Gerilim Heyecan verici Gizem

This was a really enjoyable listen - as always Jeff Harding is a fantastic narrator, and unlike the last book I heard him narrate where there were echoes of Reacher, this time I thought he brought some different characterisations.
The storyline was a really intelligent thriller - even though I guessed how some of the tricks were done, I was not 100% sure of the baddie, so enjoyed the reveal. As noted in other reviews, Gurney isn't always the most sympathetic character, but he feels very human. I have already bought the next book in the series, so that tells you how much I enjoyed this.

Thoroughly entertaining. The narrator did a fine job in keeping with each character. A gripping storyline which lasted until the end.

Well read

Jeff Harding’s reading, and John Verdon’s perfectly paced writing are the perfect complement to one another. This is a great story - ingenious - ingenious enough to make one feel clever whilst listening and trying to work it out, oneself - but also credible. Dave Gurney is a lovely creation; a man to be enjoyed by male and female alike. The plot is a Chinese box. The police characters are all interesting, some unusual, all beautifully drawn. The marriage at the centre of the story comforting and enviable, while also being believable. And then there is Jeff Harding’s reliable, beautifully judged reading. The characters into whom he breathes life, the story perfectly played, like a piano concerto. It’s great stuff. I listened when I oughtn’t - isn’t that the highest accolade one can give? Thank you, Jeff, John, and Audible. I can’t wait to listen to the next one!!

Quite intriguing multi-faceted story. I often find American novels and narrators a bit brash and difficult but this one was smoothly told and narrated. I couldn’t stop listening to it. I guessed who done it slightly before the showdown but it is a well crafted story with great characterisations I would have liked Rodriguez to get his comeuppance though. Can’t give less than 5 stars for any part of the review. Enjoyable and highly recommended - that doesn’t happen often!

Great narration great story

Would you consider the audio edition of Think of a Number to be better than the print version?

Yes because it was very well read with understanding and respect for characters.

What did you like best about this story?

The plot was intriguing

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

Irritation at the boring wife character.

Any additional comments?

I've read two of Verdon's book and whilst I like the plot lines I am bored and irritated by the whingeing wife character. I probably won't read another unless he gets rid of the wife and Guerney man's up and tells her to shut it. It's a detective novel not Come into the Garden Maud and stake the roses or prune the apple trees. Yuk.

Get rid of Geurney's whingeing wife
