Poor Walt just can’t stay out of trouble no matter how hard he tries. While recovering from heart surgery he find another mystery that needs to be solved and with the help of his crew, he goes above and beyond to solve it. As always I loved this book and can’t wait for more.
This review is for the audio book.
I enjoyed this book. It took a while for the mystery side to show its self but there was a reason for the slow humours start and nobody can tell a tale quite like Walt Williams about hospital gowns or exams, well maybe Robert Thornhill. I liked the little cameo role for the author to play a role in Walt’s adventures as himself, make sure you look out for it. Despite being laid up in bed after a serious operation Walt manages to solve a number of cases in his usual fun and haphazard style.
A retinue exam for kidney stones turns into something a lot more serious for Walt Williams when his heart shows signs of being in trouble. While in hospital recovering from the operation a number of patients die unexpectedly and a nurse worried about what is happening approaches Walt for help because not all of the deaths can be natural causes. With the help of his aging team he gets the the bottom of the mystery but in solving the case it triggers another case that needs to be solved and quickly as someone is killing patients that need new hearts. While at the hospital under cover a new twist and a case falls into Walt’s lap that evolves him hunting down terrorist.
George Kuch does another excellent job as Walt Williams and the gang. He uses very distinctive voices for each character, making it easy to follow and enjoy.
Lady Justice and the Broken Hearts is my twentieth enjoyable read/listen from author Robert Thornhill. Another entertaining clean read, filled with puns & one-liners, as always dealing with current social topics. Each book in the series seems better than the last as Thornhill continues to up his game. Narrator George Kuch again adds greatly to the listening enjoyment with his wide variety of entertaining voices & inflections, Kuch IS Walt Williams! I’ll definitely be reading more from Thornhill! I was given an Audible copy of this book & am voluntarily reviewing it. Since I own both the Audible & Kindle versions I was able to follow along while being read to. Up next is Lady Justice and the Conspiracy. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 – July 24, 2018).
mystery, humor, law-enforcement, private-investigators
The murder investigation and also the discovery of a terrorist plot are interwoven with the experience of cardiac hospitalization by our number one retiree. As a retired RN, and also a member of the zipper club I was very pleased with the characters reactions, but disturbed by the repetitive remarks about poor hospital security. I particularly enjoyed the way that the gang one upped the feds in the plot by the terrorists. Good suspense in a story packed with humor!
As always, George Kuch was super as narrator!
Audiobook review: Oh my! Life after police work is just as busy for Walter Williams! This story has murder, mystery, & comedy and will definitely hold the listener’s attention. I was also glad that many of the previous characters made an appearance! I liked how Mr. Thornhill wrote in himself into this book! The narrator did a nice job! I received a free copy of this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
Wow, again wow. I am a fan of Robert Thornhill and it is no surprise that I thought this was a good book as I have liked everyone I have listened to. But this time the book not only was a great read but I was living some of the story at the same time as listening to it. My husband had kidney stones and then kidney surgery spending almost a week in the hospital. Here I am listening to this very book not knowing when I started it what the story line was going to be.
Very well written and very real. I LOVED when fictional Walt meets the author so fun and wow!
George Kuch once again does a great job with the narration. He is truly the voice of Walt.
Thank you Robert for giving me the chance to escape my life for a few hours. If you have never read or listened to Lady Justice series you really must.
