I'll solve it in ....... (Almost immediately)
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
Didn't real spend any time listening it was on in the background whilst getting on with other things. There are no real surprises and the 'voice' of the main character annoying, its not offensive and you can have it on without worrying if you miss the odd few minutes.
What could Luke Delaney have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
less predictable. I do have his others but felt I was being led through the nose with this one even more than the others. The listener is not given credit for being able to think for themselves rather that the clues to the killer's identity are rammed into your brain. No subtlety at all. I came away thinking that the lead detective Sean, was non too bright for not getting there sooner. So much for his special powers.
Did Robin Bowerman do a good job differentiating each of the characters? How?
Not bad but made Sean sound a bit too thuggish and rude with everyone.
Could you see The Jackdaw being made into a movie or a TV series? Who would the stars be?
Not really. Does not standout in the genre.
Any additional comments?
I am surprised I have all the other books in my library as will only get another if I really can't find anything else. Ultimately I'm ambivalent as not too awful but not enough to retain my interest. Lift music?

Sloppy work!
With it's rehashed plot line, it's cod psychology and the clumsy writing style - Luke Delaney's fourth novel is a great big disappointment. He started out with such promise and his lack of writing style (as an ex copper) was excusable. However, despite having the time to work on this he clearly does not think it is worth the effort. The result is sloppy, embarrassing and a sad waste of talent.
The reader is perfect in that his incompetence and lack of effort perfectly mirrors the atrocious writing. A match made in limbo....
