The Bookman's Wake

By: John Dunning

Narrated by: George Guidall

This sequel to the best-selling Booked to Die combines masterful suspense, bullets, and booklore in one of the best contemporary whodunits on offer.

When rare book collector Cliff Janeway is offered a lucrative bondsman job, he can't refuse, especially since the bail jumper might have a priceless copy of The Raven. This is a must listen for mystery buffs and especially those who love booklore.

What made the experience of listening to The Bookman's Wake the most enjoyable?

another great dunning mystery set in the book world. terrific suspense while learning about the book dealer and his world. wonderful narrator no equal in guidall. look forward to the next dunning and anything read by guidall!

Excellent Story Performed Flawlessly.

This was the second Cliff Janeway novel and far and away the best of the series. In the 90s when this came out Poe had become quite trendy and a subject matter for quite a few mysteries. This is by far the best treatment for that time period. ENJOY!

Maybe a little less

John Dunning is a very good writer. I enjoyed all the of the Bookman series so far. This last installment is not as grabbing as the other 2 though. It has a nice story line and plot, but the characters aren't as believeable. I di enjoy reading the book though.

Great Story

This was a great story from start to finish. I learned a lot about books and never knew who the killer was until the climax.

The Bookman's Wake

Too long and drawn out. Lost interest about halfway through. I felt that the characters were not believable and neither was the story line.
