Sunset Express (Elvis Cole)

I only gave the book three precisley because it was "okay". This is not up to the high standard that Crais has established in his past work. I have read all of Robert Crais work, it is pretty impressive. Sunset Express was "okay"

Another thrilling story about Elvis Cole and Joe Pike as they set out to uncover truths about a crooked lawyer, a coverup of a murder and to return a righteous cop back to her job on the police force. All this and a love story.
Read and enjoy!

I have always enjoyed the Cole/Pike novels. The last few I have read, however, seem to show a lot less Pike. Also, Cole seems less, for lack of a better term, 'badass.' Not sure why that is, but it takes away from the book somewhat. Still a good read though.

Extremely fast read. Book is faced pace with colorful characters and entertaining plot. I'm done but the store needs 7 more words
Pain in the patutti. This why I rarely leave ratings. They need to learn from eBay. Still a great book

I finally learned how to read these Elvis Cole books-- just skip through the Lucy Chenier parts and get over "Pikes mouth twitched" ( I
assume this is supposed a suppressed smile). When you do this it is only a few page out of 200 plus pages , and doesn't affect the plot; then you have a good "hard boiled dick" mystery

In spite of Crais's excellence, this is a miserable CD abridgement. This Sunset Express abridgement is poorly abstracted from the book and read miserably by David Stuart. The abridgement's text focuses on maudlin romantic relationships. The various voices Stuart pretends to interpret are not realistic, and Cole (the protagonist) sounds like a young school boy. Easily the worst CD abridgement I've ever played and I've listened to hundreds; I've read and enjoyed 10 of Crais's books. Robert Crais must be embarrassed by this recording.
