Don’t Look Twice audiobook

Another fast paced thriller with Ty Hauck- number 2 in the series and I most definitely pick up number 3 !

Much like his mentor, Gross provides a readable, entertaining readMuch like his mentor James Patterson, Andrew Gross has written a readable crime novel with plenty of twists and turns, lots of personal stuff thrown in and written in a pleasant, accessible style. Don't Look Twice: A Novel is the second in a series about Ty Hauck but you do not have to have read the first to follow what's going on in this installment. The story is chock full of short chapters and the trail is complicated, but not impossibly so. My one pet peeve is the Spanish in the book. It only appears on two pages in my Advance Reader's Edition but it is awful. "Victor no es aqui" is not proper or even remotely adequate Spanish. This is Spanish One material. It sounds like something from a translator website. C'mon now, Mr. Gross. There are millions of native speakers throughout the country. Find one and have him or her vet your Spanish in the future. It should have been "Victor no está aquí."See all of my reviews of Andrew Gross novels here: http://dwdsreviews.blogspot.com/searc...

I'm happy to say I finally found an Andrew Gross book I really liked. "Don't Look Twice" is the second Ty Hauck series book from Gross. I thought the first book in this series was somewhat flat, as well as one of his stand alone thrillers I've read. However, Hauck saves the day starring in this crafty suspense thriller. With Hauck's relationship with Karen now over he's spending time with his daughter Jessica, 13. While stopping to gas up at a service station and picking up some odd and ends in the station's store Hauck is waiting in line to pay. Out of nowhere bullets come smashing into the store flying everywhere. While everyone is ducking for cover David Sanger, 41 isn't so lucky. Sanger who is a U.S. State's Attorney has been murdered in the shooting. When the police arrive no one seems to know who intended victim was. Hauck gets thrown into the gang war of the DR-17 against the El Diablos. With a really solid plot that has Hauck chasing after some pretty nasty gangsters this one has few dead spots hurting the tale. Hauck is stunned when his older brother Warren shows up. Hauck knows something is going on with Warren and is likely mixed up in his case. It's Annie Fletcher owner of "Annie's Backstreets" shop who observes the shooters the weapon from the drive by shooting into her store's dumpster. Yes, Ty and Annie do make a connection as well. Annie's special needs son Jared also bonds with Hauck. With a cast of some nasty supporting characters, "Don't Look Twice", was a very enjoyable read. However coming in at over 500 pages this one is a haul. The plot flows pretty well but there is so much story to read. I was enjoying an Andrew Gross book for the first time so I didn't care it topped 500 pages. Some tales need 500 pages and most don't. This one is 50-50, it could have been edited down some. So, "Don't Look Twice", gets four stars out of a possible five stars. This Ty Hauck series from author Andrew Gross may work out well after all. I'm actually looking forward to reading the third book in this series. Imagine that ! Check it out.

Best book I've read in quite some time. I think I may have read one of this author's books when he wrote under James Patterson's name. If I did, I don't recall being that impressed. Maybe it's because I don't like how a group of authors use Patterson's name to sell their novels. Perhaps I wouldn't be so disgruntled if Patterson took me under his wing. Enough ranting. Andrew Gross hit a home run with Don't Look Twice. I've heard the line, "I couldn't put the book down" a million times, and in this case it was true for me. The story moved well, with believable characters and good police drama and action.I was impressed with the author's protagonist, in that he didn't have all kinds of super powers and mixed martial arts. Having been a police detective, I found the cops and criminals alike to be true to life. For anyone who enjoys a who done it crime drama with some action, put this book on your to read list.

Don't Look Twice by Andrew GrossTy Hauck Series Book #24 StarsFrom The Book:A drive-by shooting rocks an affluent suburb, leaving an innocent man dead. A witness to the madness—along with his terrified teenaged daughter—Detective Ty Hauck launches an investigation into what looks like a vicious case of family retribution. But Annie Fletcher, the owner of a hip café who's attempting to rebuild her life, saw something that does not fit the bloody scenario. And the truth is a gathering storm of secrets and corruption that could tear through the mansions of the town's most powerful—ravaging a family . . . and pitting Hauck against his own brother.My Thoughts:I first read this author when he began co-writing books with James Patterson and thoroughly enjoyed his writing style and how easy he was to read and hold the readers interest with an easy to follow plot. This...his second book in the Hauck series... is no exception and if anything better than his co-written books. The only "problem" that I had with the story was that it didn't seem that the "Why" was never fully explained. I believe if the author had told us why things occurred as they did I could easily have given the book another star. In spite of that it was a fun book that should appeal to all mystery fans. I'll certainly continue this series.

A good, fast-paced thriller with many interesting twists and turns. I'm not a big fan of stories about government conspiracies, but I enjoyed this one.

#2 in a series, I will be looking for the first one. I like the character and can't wait to read more.

Detective Ty Hauck and his daughter Jessie have bought some treats at the filling station and whilst waiting to pay there is a drive-by shooting, the windows explode and the man behind them is gunned down, Jessie also narrowly misses death. At first the incident is thought to be some kind of retribution for the death of a young Mexican girl but the tide turns when it is realised that the dead man, a corporate lawyer, was indeed the target.Annie, a restauranteur, witnesses the gun being tossed into a garbage skip and takes it to the police and comes under threat herself, Ty is concerned and keeps a protective eye on her.When a croupier is found murdered and is found to be a friend of the dead lawyer, the investigation moves in a new direction towards casino fraud between the two friends but that is just a smoke screen and a can of worms is opened up when it is discovered that power, greed and corruption at the very top is where Ty should really be looking.Does Ty’s older brother Warren, himself a lawyer, know something more than he is letting on and could this tear them apart?Once again I found this an intriguing story, fast paced, well written, lots of misdirection and a surprising ending, but somehow (just a feeling) not quite as good as the first Ty Hauck thriller but still a good 4/5.

Intrigue, espionage, murder, government. These always seem to go together. The question now is "What is it all about this time, and what will it cost?" Sometimes looking back over your shoulder to years before gives insight to things you unwittingly ignored. These things have answers you did not see. It's not always what is right in front of your eyes, nor the obvious. Detective Ty Huck must answer these questions. And what part does his brother play in this?

Another great readIf I could give this 4 1/2 *’s I would but it still quite good. Be forewarned that there are some Kindle glitches, but that aside it’s vintage Andrew Gross. I’m not as fond of Andrew Gross’s Ty Hauck series as his historical novels but they’re far better than many novels on the market.

Wow, what an exciting, gripping, roller coaster of a book that grabbed me right from the get-go and never let up. Ty Hauck is a very intriguing character and his relentlessness and devotion to duty had me admiring him the whole way through the book. A perfect, believable story in every way, and now I’m most anxious to read the entire Ty Hauck series and all of Andrew Gross’ books.

In all honesty, I enjoyed the story but it was highly predictable. The characters were also pretty bland and most of the settings lacked description and therefore did not feel 'real'. However, the pace at which the plot was delivered was good and the events which transpired interested me.There was a good amount of emotion in some scenes as well that did not feel superficial.

Actually 4 1/2 stars. Crime thriller that takes place in the New England states featuring Ty Hauck. Lots of action and intrigue in this one. Plot is laid out very nicely and is not too predictable. You won’t want to put this one down, it’s a page turner.

Ty Hauck and his daughter are near where a drive-by shooting takes place. At first, it appears to be a revenge killing. As investigator Hauck digs deeper, he finds out there's some corruption gong on and it even includes Ty's brother. Good read.

Great read!
