Sneaks up on you in a surprise way.
This might strike some listeners as a book that starts a bit slow. But, stay with it as it picks up well. Hamilton writes in such a way as it is easy to feel like you there in the scene. Living above a gym in a single room, loving to listen to jazz, our main character, Joe Trumbull, is a juvenile probation officer who is in a long term moan for the loss of his fiancé. It’s easy to feel his pain as read by Seth Podowitz and to live with the memory of a fiancé that was murdered a couple of years earlier. If you’re looking for a page-turner audio book, this is it, even with a somewhat unpredictable ending. Complicated in spots, but worth the extra attention you might have to give. Enjoy.
