The Monkey's Raincoat

for the first Elvis Cole and Joe Pike series it was a very good book kept me excited all the way through it could not put it down will look for more

Maybe because this was an early Elvis/Pike book but it was at times silly not gripping ....

I now understand that this was the first Elvis Cole story. However I usually like the humor in hid books, I found this off-putting to many jokes and too many deaths!

Great story. Great intro to the Elvis Cole series, "the biggest dick in the business". Ha-ha! This one will get you hooked on Robert Crais. Witticism run rampant! I love it and I hope he keeps writing.

The narrators voice is horrific. He makes it very difficult to listen to the story. I would not rent this CD if I had a chance to do it over again.

This was by far one of the worst books I have ever rented. It was boring and waste of time.

I had rented another one of Robert Crais Elvis Cole series and enjoyed. Saw that SAB had the very first one "The Monkey's Raincoat" so decided to try it out. I can see how the people and story has evolved. I enjoyed the fast pace with the bit of humor in the dialog. Look forward to more in this series. Has some violence but the joke cracking off sets it.

I could not get past the first cd because the narrator was not very good at reading this book. I could do better than this.

A modest effort from Robert Crais is made worse with the poorest narration (an incredibly annoying voice) and recording quality I have ever experienced with a book on CD.
