[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My favorite read of 2021 was Razorblade Tears by SA Crosby.  It's very very violent, which I usually don't like, but the voice was so great.

I wished the author had extended a little to think about the violence.  The entire premise is two older gentlemen with violent pasts (who have put their pasts behind them) join forces to solve the murders of their two sons, who were married to each other.  Both men are grappling with the ways in which they treated their gay sons, and also seeking retribution for the loss of their sons.

So for example, one father has to kill a bad guy early on.  I wanted a (brief) reflection of how he had just killed somebody's son.

But still - a great read.  [/quote]

Currently reading this one and ... WOW very violent.  I'm half way through and am forcing myself to finish, but buyer beware.  Not even sure how it ended on my library holds.  I assume I heard it recommended on a podcast.[/quote]

I thought this would be right up my alley. But I started listening to the narrator and I hated the way he did the voices SO MUCH. It just grated, seemed like a caricature, and I couldn't continue. This may be the first time a book was ruined for me by the narrator. I don't know if it was the accent, or what.[/quote]
