Review: Another unputdownable Mike Wells book
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 04 6, 2014
This fast paced thriller will keep you in suspense right up to the very end!! I recently made the comment "I haven't read a Mike Wells book that I didn't like". Well there's no exception here. The Drive-By Wife jumped to the top of my list and is now my favorite Mike Wells book.I was given a copy of this book in audiobook version to review. I am still getting used to the audiobook thing. I've tried it in the past, but I couldn't really get into it, and never finished a book. This is the second audiobook that I've finished (both books were by Mike Wells). I like the fact you can listen to them while you're doing things that you couldn't normally do while reading (for instance, driving).I listened to this book in a less than 24 hour period, then listened to it again. I liked it THAT much. The storyline was wonderful, the characters were realistic and likeable (or dislikeable). There are a few supporting characters who are briefly mentioned, but the main characters are Allen and Cynthia Hunt and Billy the creepy truck driver. Allen was kind of a toss-up for me. He was kind of a douchebag, but at the same time he was a desperate man fighting for his wife. I liked Cynthia, I really did. She wasn't perfect, but who is? And Billy.........Billy was creepy. I felt sorry for him but was creeped out all the same.And finally, I cannot review this book without acknowledging the narrator. Mark Torres narrated this book and he did an excellent job! I live in Alabama and I feel like he nailed Billy's southern accent. And another thing that impressed me was that he flowed easily in the dialogue between characters. He changed voices from person to person and it wasn't confusing.I gave this book 5 out of 5 well deserved stars!
