Critic reviews

"Gene Engene uses vocal intonations and accents to distinguish each character in a nearly flawless performance of this complex and suspenseful tale of murder, revenge and just a hint of the supernatural." ( AudioFile)

A learning experience and entertaining

I enjoy this narrator as much as the story itself. I could relate so thoroughly to this story. My favorite aunt was an adopted Native American. The way the story was woven with the present and history of I'itoi and Mualig Siakam was masterfully done.

Truly Amazing Story

I love every book and every character from J.A. Jance. Listening to the audio form was even better than the original reading.

Five Stars

The reader of this book, made the story come to life. Very well done!!!

Different from usual Jance

Would you try another book from J. A. Jance and/or Gene Engene?

We have listened to several Jance series - and liked every book in each series. We also like Engene - he does a great job.

Would you ever listen to anything by J. A. Jance again?

Yes, the Walker series isn't our favorite. We love Beaumont, Brady and Reynolds series.

What about Gene Engene’s performance did you like?

He has a good voice and a great pace.

Did Kiss of the Bees inspire you to do anything?

1st reaction - Delete the book.

Any additional comments?

We just aren't used to such graphic violence from Jance. The jumping from Indian lore to current story is a bit distracting to us.

Indian culture actually acts as a character.

The awful men from the prison certainly make this story very dark. Lanier is a light in that darkness. There were too many characters that could have been more active in this story. I look forward to reading the next book.
