Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Really good stuff!
As I work my way through the body of Robert Crais' work, I can't help but wonder what took me so long in "discovering" Messr Crais! I recently completed "Indigo Slam", another 5-star-winner, maybe the best of his novels I've read yet but olde news to those Crais fans who have been around for a while. Great characters/characterizations a good plot and though it was telegraphed beforehand, a rousing, rip-roaring ending which caught me totally flat-footed! Bring on the next book in the series, I'm ready; ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Always Entertaing
Another winner by Robert Crais. Don't know how I missed this one, but surely I've read all of his now. Always entertaing.... Once again the reparte' brought a smile and at times a chuckle...Still in love with Joe Pike. Recommend this book, might want to start with the first Elvis Cole if you aren't familiar with this character.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Another good thriller
I love the thriller genre and this is a good read. Not as good as the Watchman also by Crais but good. You can depend on this writer to give you a good read. New thriller writer Conrad Jones, the Soft Target trilogy is the best I`ve read for ages, and Michael Connelly`s Overlook was a belter too.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Weakest Novel in the Series
Robert Crais is a highly skilled crime writer, and I think his "Elvis Cole" series is well worth reading. Unfortunately, INDIGO SLAM, the seventh novel in the series, is a flat and uninspired installment.

INDIGO SLAM starts out quite well, with three young children hiring Cole to find their missing father. But it doesn't take Cole very long to find out where he is, and all the mystery of the plot soon evaporates. The last two thirds of this book is pretty much a lot of action, mostly at ...

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A review of the audiobook
While not as action-packed as "The Last Detective" (which follows "Indigo Slam" in the series, but I've not read a single one of them in order so why start now?), this is a strong book. Lots of smart comments, action and twists and turns, although the very last twist was so obvious that only the clinically brain dead couldn't see it coming. But, that didn't lessen the overall value of the book for me.

The audiobook is read by David Stuart who captures the voice of Elvis Cole perfectly. The ... Read More
