Critic reviews

"Eisler provides a cracklingly good yarn, well written, deftly plotted, and surprisingly appealing… Thomas Perry and Lawrence Block need not retire their hit men quite yet, but Eisler is clearly a challenger." ( Boston Globe)

This is my first Rain book and I loved it and will listen to them all if I get the chance. The author has a great voice and its subtle tones work well with the subject matter set in Japan. The plot was excellent and Rain is likeable yet merciless when necessary
Keep Raining on my parade!

The authors narration dies his work proud

Amazing

The Tokyo backdrop is prominent to say the least. An interesting approach to frame a very "Japanese" intrigue and story.
I liked it. A lot. A mix of noir, high tech and assassin action.

Easily one of the better author narrations I've listened to.

Tokyo almost overwhelms the good story.

I tried 3 times to get into this book and the third try was the charm. I am very glad I stuck with it as it turned out to be great. Characters were laid out well plot could be followed (mostly) and a great ending leading me to find out what John does next... So I am off to start the next instalment

Don't judge a book by its cover (and synopsis in this case). I received this book as part of a two for one sale. My expectations were low, and I expected I had acquired an average. However there is so much good to this book. Except from a well paced story, Barry Eisler know how to make the reader feel familiar with Japan culture and surrounding, even if you've never been

Surprisingly Great
